NATIONAL Development Minister Mah Bow Tan said there will be no let-up in public building works even as the economic climate here worsens.

The Government will invest in public housing, new parks and plans, sustainable development and even accelerate the lift upgrading programme for Housing Board flats.

'Nothwithstanding the current economic recession, we are taking the opportunity to remake our city,' said Mr Mah when responding to points raised by backbenchers during the debate on his ministry's budget in Parliament on Friday.
