PSA is going full steam ahead building a mega port in Tuas. They are very optimistic indeed.

Another fake news trying to discredit Singapore and create fear.

Singapore shall prevail and prove all doubters wrong while I watch from a safe distance in Bangkok.

新加坡加油！

The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) will be led by a new chief executive with effect from Jan 1 next year.

Mr Andrew Tan, the former chief executive of the National Environment Agency (NEA), will replace Mr Lam Yi Young, who has led MPA since May 1, 2009.

Mr Tan, 46, was CEO of NEA from January 2009 to June this year. He is currently the Deputy Secretary (Special Duties) in the Ministry of Transport and holds a concurrent appointment as Fellow in the Civil Service College.

From 2002 to 2004, Mr Tan was principal private secretary to then-Senior Minister Lee Kuan Yew, and subsequently held senior appointments in the Foreign Affairs Ministry and Environment and Water Resources Ministry before joining NEA.

Mr Lam, 41, is leaving MPA to join another ministry.

The Transport Ministry said on Monday that it appreciates Mr Lam's "significant contributions" in his four and a half years as MPA's chief.

Mr Lam spearheaded Singapore's development as a vibrant international maritime centre during his tenure at MPA, the Ministry said.

It also noted that Mr Lam steered MPA towards greater public outreach and education through activities such as the Singapore Maritime Week.

The Ministry added that since 2009, Singapore has maintained its standing as the world's busiest port in terms of annual vessel arrival tonnage.

A spokesperson for the Transport Ministry told The Straits Times that Mr Lam will be posted to another ministry as part of his Administrative Service tour, although it did not provide any further details.

In the 80s, when Singapore was the World busiest port with its long lines of tower cranes constantly moving who thought it would have lost its way. When Mahathir started Tanjung Pelepas we all laughed. When we lost Maersk to Johor we awoke up. When the Taiwanese sent their shipping line on the back of hokkein speaking Johor MCA MP, we began to realise that something was amiss.

I recall the apparent laughter, but, we should give the Malaysians credit, for their success at Tanjung Pelapas.
Now the Port of Singapore, is struggling in the shadow of its past success.

If you study Singapore carefully, you will see that alot of the past successes were the result of capitalizing on the deficiencies of other countries in the region eg poor education, corruption, bureaucracy

It is a matter of time for the other countries to catch up.

Sadly Singapore has not progressed much in terms of innovation. Many factors play a part in this deficiency. With time, Singapore will become irrelevant.

No disrespect to Andrew, based on his experience, it is not likely he will be an effective leader of the pack. Let's wait and see.

No shit sherlock, his screwup in handling floods is very telling

with all these paper general scholars... full steam astern.....

Based on statistics from 2015, Singapore handles about 3 times more tonnage than Tanjung Pelepas.

http://www.worldshipping.org/about-the-industry/global-trade/top-50-world-container-ports

Tanjung Pelepas however only received its first maiden vessel in 10 Oct 1999. In a mere 17 years, it has rocketed to become the 17the busiest port in the world. The impressive growth record is listed in the Wikipedia article.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_of_Tanjung_Pelepas

Singapore on the other hand has been stagnating. Wonder what the numbers will look like in 20 years.

One cant be no 1 forever. Matter of time no2 or no 3 will catch up n beat u to it. One must always be humble n not badmouth thy neighbours.

PSA plans to move the port so that condos can be built where the current facilities are

If the port business is so important to Spore then why are they messing with the port? Shouldn't they be looking at improving the procedures, facilities, lowering prices, ... etc

The port rebuild at Tuas is just part of the grand plan to churn the economy to raise the GDP and to give lucrative building contracts to cronies and create land banks to sell to cronies to replenish the depleted coffers in CPF and more gambling money for the junkie.. Similar to building more passenger terminals and the Jewel shopping behemoth at the airport. Soon with more airlines and ships bypassing Spore, these will be great examples of ghost ports and ghost airport shopping malls and terminals. Gone are the days of "build it and they will come". But since everyone is just in cruise mode, just wait for the fuel to dry up.
