Serious Another new town?? Why do we need Tengah unless pop hit 10m!
- Thread starter enterprise2
- Start date
Tengah Forrest town is a copy of PRC Forrest town project in Malaysia!
Millions of PRC wants to migrate to Singapore!
There will be many more NEW towns after Tengah. Sinkies don't need to worry; it's only 10 million (2 million each in the north, east, south, west and central.)
Next time will build new town underground!
there are 10000 new residents every month now so i think the new town is already pretty late.
and a big portion of the 10000 consist of the very young, very old and irresponsible cyclists.
current pop is 5.7M and i am sure the mrt and lifts are going to suffer.

The truth is that the government wants to move the concentration of people away from the central region to the west region. This is part of the Master Plan to decentralize the population density to the west as they plan to create a new second CBD in Jurong Lake District.
If the critical mass is located in the central and east regions, you can imagine the amount of traffic / people movement every work day moving into the west ( second CBD ) to work there. The MRT and public transport system may not have the capacity to handle the load. The solution is to move people to live in the West and work in the West. Tengah is the plan. Tengah will be accessible by the JRL and EW lines which will enable people living there to move to their workplace in and around JLD.

That's just another way of saying the East and Central getting overly crowded with the influx so need to build a new town in the west!
That is true. If you look at the Master Plan, East and Central are already max out for public housing and township. Central South region is reserved for prime land development. The plan to develop Jurong Lake District as the next CDB of the West needs to consider the critical mass to support the plan. Bear in mind that the port in Tanjong Pagar and Keppel will be moved to Tuas in 10 years' time. If the critical mass for the JLD , Jurong Innovation Center and Tuas Port is to come from the Central and East regions, it will strain the current MRT networks, road networks and public bus systems. Critical mass must therefore come from the West to support the workload in the West.
Those are reserved for future development.
Lim Chu Kang farmland and cemetery will not redeveloped so soon.
They can make all the plans that they want but if the current & future PAP are so incompetent that they can't even get the MRT system working properly, just imagine the other things that they'll screw up.
This gov't has already caused so many problems: hepatitis deaths in the hospitals, break downs of elevators, flash floods, a resurgence TB in Spore, increasing foot & mouth problems. zika, riots, crime by foreigners, fires, ....

it's all for the greater and long term good of sg. spoilt sinkies living in protected cocoons and a sealed giant bubble need to build up their immunity systems by re-introducing diseases into the population in order for them to survive in a world of regionalization and globalization.
I agree. Sinkies are so protected by the system that when there is a little disruption to their lifestyles, it can create a mayhem as they feel that they are incapacitated.
Some of the weaker ones unable to handle the change and stress of life even take their own lives.
Others find the government to blame.
No one thinks they can do something themselves.
Sinkies should be grateful that the PAP is always so forward looking. Sinkies themselves are lazy, self-centered, selfish and snobbish. Just look at the way they criticize the amount of FTs in Sinkie Land during the past. Now that the PAP has tightened the floodgate, is there any better for job opportunities for Sinkies? Unemployment rate is creeping ever higher nowadays. I would say good for the Sinkies. These people truly deserve it.
Luckily I'm no longer in the active workforce and so, all these issues don't matter to me. Every month, I'm still living on surplus from my passive incomes.

So tengah will come before or after Ubin?
I think sinkies might not take to idea of staying offshore yet.
Pap need time to sell that idea or build to bridge.

From Wikipedia :
The Singapore Government's development projects on the island in the last few years has been controversial and debate has been able to find its way through government-controlled media. Their main ideas is that the East West Line could be extended to Pulau Ubin from Pasir Ris. Although the government has highlighted the area for future development, the island is unlikely to be urbanised because many foreign tourists visit Ubin and it has become a tourist attraction.
It looks like the redevelopment of Ubin may get postponed as the government is focusing on the main island redevelopment efforts first.
I thought they wanted to develop Pulau Tekong as well.
Mainland still can develop. Mandai still got forests that can be cut down. Maybe area D also can be used
Can go up to 12 mil.
