HDB to refresh 4 wet markets in Bukit Batok, Bukit Panjang, Woodlands and Yew Tee: Sun Xueling , Singapore News

During the upgraded market’s soft launch in January, Speaker of Parliament Seah Kian Peng, who is also the MP for Marine Parade-Braddell Heights GRC, said stallholders and residents welcomed the upgrading.

“Indeed, the new revamped wet market is a mark improvement from the old one — cleaner, nicer ambience, better offerings and layout design,” he wrote.

Four more wet markets to be upgraded

The four wet markets — at Fajar Shopping Centre in Bukit Panjang, Yew Tee Square, Bukit Batok West Shopping Centre, and Woodlands North Plaza — will be reaching the end of their respective 30-year leases between now and end-2027.

They will similarly be returned to HDB for upgrading so that residents can look forward to a similarly better shopping experience close to home, said Sun.

Citing the examples of Serangoon Central Village and Keat Hong Market and Food Centre, she added that HDB will use the opportunity to revitalise those spaces after taking back ownership of the four markets.

This will ensure that heartland retail spaces can better meet residents’ needs and preferences, Sun said.
