PAP's Cheque Bounced for YOG

Sports hub had nothing to do with youth olympics. Sport hub was targeted for SEA Games lah.

They awarded contract beginning 2008, how to complete in 2 years!!! Remember they have to first demolish national stadium. Just that job can easily take 6 months. After that they need to prepare groundworks (that whole area marine clay) and then build. And with the artistic roof, a lot of equipment is custom made.

HDB flats take about 3 years and those are lego cookie cutter type prefabs.

I think for sportshub it will take at least 4 to 5 years to build taking into account demolish works.
 
Yes in fact, Sportshub was in the pipeline way before the notion of hosting YOG arise.
