Parliament to discuss Gillman Barracks and Maju Forest housing plans, GovTech layoffs
MPs have filed more than 20 questions on the two subjects, along with others on a fatal lightning strike off Pasir Ris Beach and the adoption and impact of AI in Singapore.
Parliament will discuss housing plans for Gillman Barracks and Maju Forest and recent layoffs at the Government Technology Agency (GovTech) during its next meeting on Tuesday, August 4. Over 20 questions have been filed by Members of Parliament (MPs) on these subjects. The Housing and Development Board (HDB) plans to build new homes in Gillman Barracks and Sunset Way, Clementi, following environmental and heritage assessments.
Up to 15 hectares of Maju Forest may be cleared for these developments. MPs have inquired about incorporating conservation recommendations, evaluating alternative housing sites, resident engagement, and plain-language summaries of environmental impact assessments.
