## Original article

The Ministry of National Development (MND) will set aside $29 million to upgrade another 10 private estates under the tenth batch of the Estate Upgrading Programme (EUP). 

Since 2000, MND has spent $187 million under the EUP to upgrade older private estates in Singapore. The EUP aims to enhance the physical conditions and living environment in older private estates to better cater to residents’ needs. Upgrading works vary based on the condition and needs of each estate, and in the past, have included providing footpath lighting to enhance safety and security, enhancing barrier free access (e.g. wheelchair-accessible ramps), improving the estates’ landscaping and parks, and enhancing the estate identity (e.g. through estate markers). In addition, EUP works are integrated with improvement works by other agencies where possible, for instance, drainage upgrading and coverage by PUB. See Annex for some examples of improvement works carried out.

Through the previous nine batches, the EUP has benefited more than 46,800 households in 63 private estates. For the tenth batch of the EUP, MND has selected 10 estates for upgrading (see Table) at an estimated cost of $29 million. In total, more than 7,000 households will benefit from the improved facilities when upgrading works are completed in about four to five years’ time.

### 另有10个私人住宅区将获2,900万新元提升

国家发展部（MND）将拨出2,900万新元，在第十批住宅区提升计划（EUP）下，再为10个私人住宅区进行提升。

自2000年以来，MND已在EUP下投入1.87亿新元，用于提升新加坡较旧的私人住宅区。EUP旨在改善较旧私人住宅区的实体状况与居住环境，以更好地满足居民需求。提升工程视各住宅区的状况与需要而有所不同，过去包括提供人行道照明以提升安全与保安、加强无障碍通行（例如轮椅通道坡道）、改善住宅区景观与公园，以及强化住宅区特色（例如通过住宅区标识）。此外，EUP工程在可能情况下会与其他机构的改善工程整合，例如公用事业局（PUB）的排水系统提升及加盖工程。改善工程示例见附件。

通过前九批计划，EUP已惠及63个私人住宅区超过46,800户家庭。第十批EUP，MND已选定10个住宅区进行提升（见表），估计费用为2,900万新元。合计超过7,000户家庭将在提升工程约四至五年后完成时，受惠于改善后的设施。
