TOWN councils in Singapore will get more funding from the Ministry of National Development (MND) to maintain and replace lifts, the ministry said in a press release Thursday afternoon.
It said it will give town councils a "lift maintenance grant" of S$600 for each lift that the town council owns and maintains. That is expected to cost the government S$13 million a year.
It will also match half of town councils' quarterly "lift replacement fund" contributions, it said, adding that this new matching grant is expected to cost the government over S$50 million in the coming year.
