THE Government on Friday announced that its land sales programme for the first half of 2010 will have 42 sites, including a slew of residential plots.

Eight of the sites are on the confirmed list, which means that these will be put up for tender regardless of developers' interest, and these are all for residential developments.

The rest of the sites are on the reserve list, where sites will be pushed out for sale only after a developer indicates his interest by committing to a minimum bid.
