Prior to today, there are only TWO qualified Anchor Operator - PAP Community Foundation (PCF) and NTUC First Campus.
These so-called anchor “non-profit” operators get a special rate of $2,000 a month from HDB for renting its void deck. This is based on “non-profit” rentals of $2-$4 psm and a typical centre size of 500 sqm for the 80 children.
Why only these two operators getting special rates? Is this correct?
This was raised in the parliament by WP's Yee J J but was told by then Minister of State for MCYS, Mdm Halimah Yacoob was that the median fees of non-profit operators is consistently below industry median.

Now they are opening it up because WP brought this matter to the people via the recent BE rally after they failed to get the government to open it up.
Vote for the PAP, one gets nothing but shit from them.
