SINGAPORE - Over the last nine years as the Jurong Lake area was being rejuvenated, small business owners started noticing an uptick in sales.

It creates a very lively environment," said Mr Tan in Mandarin.On Sunday , the Housing Board announced the completion of renewal plans for the Jurong Lake area under its Remaking Our Heartland programme. It was selected in 2011 for rejuvenation along with East Coast and Hougang.
For instance, Bukit Batok West Shopping Centre now has a community pavilion with rooftop greenery and a community garden with more than 20 types of herbs.
