    THE latest enhancements to the Lease Buyback Scheme (LBS), which took effect from April 2015, have been "well received", said Minister for National Development Khaw Boon Wan in a blog entry on Friday.

    "Over two months, 450 households applied for LBS. If all are successful, this will be a 50 per cent increase over the 965 households currently participating under LBS," Mr Khaw said.
