SM Lee unveils future improvements in Ang Mo Kio, calls for residents' continued support
SINGAPORE - From upgraded markets and food centres to Silver Zones and Friendly Streets that make the town safer for the elderly, Ang Mo Kio has seen many improvements in the past five years.
There will be more improvements to look forward to in the next five years, with residents' continued support and the leadership of the town councillors, said Senior Minister Lee Hsien Loong on March 15.
Speaking at the launch of the Ang Mo Kio town council masterplan, he added that the plan will continue to focus on caring for both the young and seniors, fostering inclusivity and enhancing sustainability across the town's seven divisions - Ang Mo Kio-Hougang, Cheng San-Seletar, Fernvale, Jalan Kayu, Teck Ghee, Kebun Baru and Yio Chu Kang.
This includes better shared spaces like upgraded community clubs in Cheng San-Seletar and Yio Chu Kang, both of which are under renovation, and new playgrounds and community spaces that will benefit residents of Lentor Estate and Cactus Sunrise.
Apart from more sheltered linkways to make daily commutes more comfortable, there will be additional senior-friendly facilities and initiatives.
