Response to parliamentary question on the implementation plan for Warm Meals @ North East Programme

1949. Mr Chua Kheng Wee Louis: To ask the Minister for Culture, Community and Youth (a) why the Warm Meals @ North East programme, jointly funded by North East Community Development Council (CDC) and OCBC, excludes Sengkang despite it falling within North East CDC's catchment; (b) what is the timeline in which the stated plan to extend the scheme to Sengkang will be implemented; and (c) what were the factors behind the initial town selection.

 Response:

  1. Mr Edwin Tong Chun Fai: The Warm Meals @ North East program does not exclude Sengkang.  North East CDC is working on the implementation of the program in Sengkang. This was in the public announcements of the program, as well as reported in the media following the announcements.

  2. Once the implementation details, including the timeline, are finalised, this will be made known to the relevant agencies and stakeholders.
