SINGAPORE - About 43,000 households will get the keys to their Build-To-Order (BTO) flats late owing to construction delays that are due to manpower shortages and supply chain disruptions.
Of the 89 ongoing BTO projects, about 85 per cent are around six to nine months behind schedule, said the Ministry of National Development (MND) in a written parliamentary reply on Monday (April 5).
Of the 43,000 affected households as at the end of February, the Housing Board has assisted around 240 households with interim rental housing flats.
