DPM Heng promotes new website on Facebook
On Wednesday (16 April), Deputy Prime Minister (DPM) and East Coast GRC Member of Parliament (MP) Heng Swee Keat shared a video on Facebook promoting the new site and highlighting its features for residents.
Since 2020, the East Coast GRC team has been working closely with residents to shape the East Coast Plan.
The site offers easy access for everyone to:
- See what’s been accomplished in their estate
- Discover what’s coming next
- Track progress with just a tap
- Explore East Coast through the eyes of their neighbours
“From playgrounds to PlayHubs, gardens to good food — it’s all there,” DPM Heng wrote. “This is your East Coast. Built with heart. And it’s only just getting started. East side best side.”

Looking ahead, the next five years promise an even more enhanced environment, along with new opportunities for residents to learn and grow.
A key promise is to provide learning opportunities for everyone, from youths to seniors.
Digital inclusion programmes will help seniors stay connected, while leadership programmes and internships will offer youths pathways to discover their potential.
Known as a food haven, East Coast aims to preserve its status as the “favourite food destination” for makan kakis across Singapore.
The team plans to support hawkers, stalls, and markets through community-driven initiatives.
For sports enthusiasts, pickleball courts will be part of new sporting facilities, alongside 35 refreshed playgrounds for children.
