00:51 URA has decided that this place has to be for public and private housing.

00:55 And we go by that master planning.

00:58 So I told the tenants, look, we will try and help

01:00 to see whether, first of all, in terms of timelines,

01:03 whether there is any discretion available.

01:06 Secondly, whether there are alternate places where they can go together,

01:13 we will look.

01:14 But whether they can get that place would

01:20 depend on an assessment by the agencies on their value

01:24 and the service they provide to the community.

01:30 Very interesting place.

01:41 The people who are here, the tenants, seem

01:44 to put a lot of heart and soul into what they are doing.

01:47 I mean, these are just first impressions.

01:49 I haven't dealt with any of them before.

01:51 But I can see they are passionate.

01:53 They are committed.

01:54 They want to do some things.

01:56 And generally, this is good to see in Singapore.

02:00 It makes for a better soul for Singapore, I think.
