We manage 71,755 flats in the town (as of 31 March 2015).
Jurong West used to contain swamps, low hills and thick jungle. In the 1960s, the government filled the swamps with land from the hill and the place was developed into an industrial estate with low-cost housing built for workers in the industrial area.
The development of the Jurong area started in the 1970s when estates such as Boon Lay, Taman Jurong and Hong Kah formed Jurong West New Town. Under the Jurong West Extension, Pioneer estate was also added to the area.

Like Jurong East, the revitalisation of the Jurong Lake District in the coming years is expected to transform the area into an attractive location to live, work and play.

A mama shop or mamak shop (from Tamil மாமா māmā, meaning uncle or elder) is a convenience store or sundry shop in Singapore that is often located under a high-rise apartment block built by the Housing and Development Board (HDB). Traditionally, they are owned and operated by Indians. Unlike other stores such as 7-Eleven, mama shops are not air-conditioned and sell a variety of provisions within their limited area of approximately 9 square metres (97 sq ft).


Local residents often make use of mama shops as location markers.[1]


It has been claimed there is a hint of architectural value in the ingenious way the wide range of goods are displayed within the spatial confinement of the store.

It’s not only the word that holds unique chronicling, the history of these shops hold an unrivalled past. It begins in the late 18th century, when Singapore initiated a flood of immigrants from across Europe and Asia in order to help speed up the country’s development. When these cultures began to co-mingle, the European love of coffee met Malaysian taste buds and kopi was born. This brew didn’t only get a new name; it also re-vamped the entire coffee production process. First up, strong, bitter Robusta beans were substituted in for the traditional Arabica variety due to their better adaptability to South East Asian growing conditions. Next, as many of Singapore’s new immigrants did not have access to traditional brewing appliances, a new sock filter was introduced. This filtering process involves coating the inside of a flannel “sock” with ground coffee beans, placing it over a coffee cup, pouring in some hot water and allowing it to filter through. The beans coat the flannel material, allowing the water to steep and absorb the coffee flavor. Finally, adding sugar and evaporated milk completes the process and the result is a thick, sweet coffee.

Since work for Singapore’s new residents was hard and hours were long, laborers needed a place to socialize and unwind, and kopitiams became the perfect location to fill this charge. They were a place for people of all cultures, religions and social standings to come together, discuss daily happenings, play a game of chess and, of course, enjoy a cup of kopi.
