Pulau Ubin residents can stay where they are provided they pay the monthly fee for use of state land, according to government agencies.
In a joint statement, the Singapore Land Authority (SLA) and Housing and Development Board (HDB) explained that residents must pay a Temporary Occupation Licence (TOL) fee, which is based on “the gross area and land area occupied” by the residents.
The fee will be phased in over five years so that for the first year residents will only have to pay “between $6 per month and $35 per month, with 90 per cent paying less than $20 per month”, they said.
From the sixth year onwards, “TOL fees will range between $31 and $205 per month, with 90 per cent paying less than $120 per month”, they added. Full story
