Is $8 Khaw finally admitting that 6.9million is really too much?

[Confuseous]

From today's ST:

AN UNDERGROUND city with shopping malls, research facilities and even cycling lanes.

This is worth exploring to make Singapore "even more exciting and liveable", said National Development Minister Khaw Boon Wan on his blog yesterday, suggesting that the Government is considering an "underground" masterplan.

The current land use masterplan, last reviewed in 2008, sets out how much needs to be built to efficiently spread the population across the island.

"We are currently in the midst of updating our master- plan... In parallel, we are thinking about the possibility of developing an underground equivalent... to see how practical underground plans can complement the above-ground masterplan," revealed the minister.

Although expanding underground will be expensive compared with building on the surface, "we can try to push the boundary of usage - to experiment, to learn and to evolve practical, innovative solutions - so as to prepare for the future", he added.

The sinking of SG. Expect more frequent floods as the places that can hold run-off water are now replaced by concrete structures and the effective elevation gets closer to or below sea level.

The Pap cannot accept the fact that sinkapore has already reached the physical limit. They are too lazy to develop software instead of hardware.

none of the ministers have the relevant public policy skills. They are only there to keep the civil servants in check and do the leegime's orders.

Soon the government will force Singaporeans to live underground whilst foreigners live above ground.
