Seven towns - Bukit Panjang, Pasir Ris, Tampines, Yishun, Woodlands, Jurong West and Punggol - have been earmarked for the building of new hawker centres.

They were selected based on the current number of cooked food stalls in the area, growth of the town and land use adjacent to the sites.

Construction of the hawker centre in Bukit Panjang will start in the second half of this year. It will have an adjoining wet market and is expected to be completed within three years.

The other six hawker centres will be built within the next five years. A decision on whether they will have wet markets will be made later.
