林谋泉 （ 蒙巴登单 集选区 议员 ） 先生询问副总理兼贸工部长，政府是否已对2026年开通的新柔地铁 （RTS） 对新加坡零售业的潜在影响进行了评估？

颜金勇 （副总理兼贸工部长） 先生：我今天的答复也将涵盖明天会议上将讨论的 朱倍庆 （淡滨尼集选区议员） 先生提出的问题。如果朱倍庆先生同意，我恳请议员考虑撤回他的问题。 [请参阅《新柔地铁对新加坡零售、制造、商业租赁和就业市场的影响》，2025年1月8日，第95卷，第149期，口头答复部分。]

新柔地铁 （RTS） 项目将加强我们与新山的连通性，并扩大边境两侧企业的整体市场。与此同时，我们也理解本地零售商的担忧。无论是与新山的零售商，还是与线上零售商，竞争始终存在。通过新加坡企业发展局 （Enterprise Singapore） 的资助和援助计划，我们将继续帮助本地零售商提升能力，开发新产品和服务，以捕捉海外需求，包括通过线上零售。

政府也一直在帮助邻里商店振兴业务，并将继续这样做。新加坡企业发展局通过“邻里视觉营销计划”和“邻里企业社区营造计划”等举措提供支持。邻里企业家还可以向新加坡邻里企业中心寻求商业咨询服务和升级支持。建屋发展局 （HDB） 也定期进行翻新工程，包括北部组屋区的邻里中心 （NCs） ，以改善购物环境，增强对新加坡消费者的吸引力。兀兰的五个邻里中心最近已完成升级，未来还会有更多升级工程。

政府还推出了社区发展理事会 （CDC） 购物券计划，为新加坡家庭和邻里企业提供支持。总体而言，自2021年12月推出CDC购物券计划以来，参与计划的邻里企业和小贩摊位已累计获得9.07亿新元的消费。第六批CDC购物券已于2025年1月3日发放，惠及133万户家庭、23,000家邻里企业和小贩摊位以及八家超市连锁店。

Mr Lim Biow Chuan asked the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Trade and Industry whether the Government has conducted an assessment of the potential impact on retail businesses in Singapore with the commencement of the Singapore-Johor Bahru Rapid Transit System (RTS) Link in 2026.

Mr Gan Kim Yong : My response today also addresses the matters raised in the question by Mr Desmond Choo, which has been scheduled for tomorrow's Sitting. I would like to seek the Member's consideration to withdraw his question if he agrees. [ Please refer to "Impact of Johor Bahru-Singapore Rapid Transit System Link on Singapore's Retail, Manufacturing and Commercial Rental Sectors and Job Market", Official Report, 8 January 2025, Vol 95, Issue 149, Oral Answers to Questions section. ]

The Johor Bahru-Singapore Rapid Transit System Link Project will improve our connectivity with Johor and grow the overall market for businesses on both sides of the border. At the same time, we recognise local retailers' concerns. Competition will exist whether with retailers in Johor, or even online. Through Enterprise Singapore's grants and assistance schemes, we will continue to help our local retailers build new capabilities and offerings to capture overseas demand, including through online retail.

The Government has also been helping our heartland shops rejuvenate their businesses and we will continue to do so. Enterprise Singapore provides support through initiatives, such as our Heartland Visual Merchandising Programme and our Heartland Enterprise Placemaking Grant. Heartland entrepreneurs may also approach the Heartland Enterprise Centre Singapore for business advisory services and upgrading support. The Housing and Development Board (HDB) also undertakes regular upgrading works, including in HDB towns in the north, to improve the shopping environment of selected Neighbourhood Centres (NCs) to strengthen their appeal to Singaporean shoppers. Five NCs in Woodlands were recently upgraded, with more to come.

The Government also launched the Community Development Council (CDC) Voucher scheme, to provide support to Singaporean households and heartland enterprises. Overall, since the launch of the CDC Voucher scheme in December 2021, $907 million has been spent at participating heartland enterprises and hawker stalls. The sixth tranche of CDC vouchers was recently launched on 3 January 2025, which will benefit 1.33 million households, 23,000 heartland enterprises and hawker stalls and eight supermarket chains.
