It enables residents in older precincts to enjoy new facilities without uprooting from existing homes, thus keeping communities intact. In addition, improving the condition of older flats and their surroundings to a standard comparable to newer estates helps to preserve the asset value of the flats. Introduced in September 1995, the Estate Renewal Strategy (ERS) is a comprehensive and coordinated approach to estate renewal in Singapore. The ERS comprises various upgrading programmes and the Selective En bloc Redevelopment Scheme (SERS) that enables the Housing and Development Board (HDB) to acquire older flats for redevelopment.","table_of_contents":"[Estate Renewal Strategy] -- Background -- Main Upgrading Programme and Home Improvement Programme -- Interim Upgrading Programme -- Lift Upgrading Programme -- Interim Upgrading Programme Plus -- Neighbourhood Renewal Programme -- Selective En bloc Redevelopment Scheme -- Remaking Our Heartland -- References -- Further resources.","subject_lcsh":"NA","subject_singheritage":"Streets and Places {18336099}|Nature and Environment {18486470}|Community and Social Services {18486492}","language":"eng","ispartof_collection":"NLB Collections>>Singapore Collection>>Singapore Infopedia","nlb_type":"Article {18335714}","rights":"NA","access_rights":"The information on this page and any images that appear here may be used for private research and study purposes only.

This ordinance was introduced when Singapore was on the threshold of industrialising its economy. It was modelled after the Factories Act, 1937 and 1948, of the United Kingdom. Similar to British labour laws, the ordinance also closely followed the recommendations set by the International Labour Organisation Convention but with changes to suit factory conditions in Singapore. When it became law on 1 June 1960, the Factories Ordinance repealed two earlier laws, the Machinery Ordinance and the Protection of Workers Ordinance.","table_of_contents":"[Factories Ordinance, 1958] -- Setting higher health, safety and welfare standards -- Concerns of small and big businesses -- Select committee to get feedback -- Reaching a compromise -- Effectiveness of the Ordinance -- References.","subject_lcsh":"NA","subject_singheritage":"Community and Social Services {18486492}|Politics and Government {18336134}","language":"eng","ispartof_collection":"NLB Collections>>Singapore Collection>>Singapore Infopedia","nlb_type":"Article {18335714}","rights":"NA","access_rights":"The information on this page and any images that appear here may be used for private research and study purposes only.
