- 计划的目的是为了让国人能有更舒适的居住环境，也通过整修旧组屋的外观让组屋焕然一新。

ETYMOLOGY
- The Mandarin term “主要翻新计划” is a paraphrase of the English term “Main Upgrading Programme”.
- In 1989, the government announced that the Main Upgrading Programme would be implemented over the next 15 to 20 years. All public housing flats built over 20 years ago would be included in this programme.
- The programme aimed to provide a more comfortable living environment for Singaporeans and to rejuvenate the exterior of old public housing flats through upgrading works.
- To implement this programme, the government set aside $15 billion as project funds from its budget surplus.
- Up to 90% of the upgrading costs would be borne by the government and town councils, while residents were only required to pay the remaining small fee.
- The Main Upgrading Programme would be implemented on a ballot basis, requiring consensus from at least 75% of the residents in each block to proceed.
- Under this programme, all selected flats would undergo both interior and exterior renovation works.
- The interior renovation works include replacing or adding toilet facilities, while the exterior renovation works include improving the aesthetics of common corridors and adding public facilities such as multi-storey car parks and children’s playgrounds.
