Govt agencies working closely with fish exporters on relocation
<!-- by line --><!-- end by line -->

WE REFER to last Saturday's report, 'Ornamental fish trade in danger of drying up', and yesterday's Forum Online letters by Mr Ed Cheong ('Move ornamental fish industry to Iskandar zone') and Ms Cheryl Chen ('Don't let ornamental fish trade die out').
The Singapore Land Authority (SLA) and the Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority (AVA) have identified the sites in Lorong Chencharu for sale to facilitate the relocation of the fish exporters from Jalan Kayu.
The sites were identified based on the fish exporters' preference.
Four sites, with a total land area of 1.7ha in Lorong Chencharu, were launched for tender on April 1. The agencies have earmarked another 10 state land parcels with a total land area of 4.5ha in Lorong Chencharu for aquarium fish export centre use or other agricultural uses. Depending on the outcome of this tender exercise, SLA plans to launch the sale of these 10 parcels at the end of next month.
The combined land area of these 14 sites at 6.2ha is more than the 6ha plot which the fish exporters currently occupy in Jalan Kayu.
SLA and AVA will continue to work closely with the fish exporters on their relocation.
