Land reclamation - missed opportunity for Singapore

Forest City in Johore is being built on reclaimed islands. Gateway Melaka in Melaka is also being built on reclaimed islands. The China construction companies are actively involved in both mega projects.

Singapore has been active in reclaiming land from the sea for the past few decades. Sadly, we did not build the companies and people with the knowhow to go outside Singapore.

This opportunity is now taken by the China construction companies. We missed the boat.

It is sad for Singapore. It is a reflection that our approach is short sighted.

  1. Good mentors are no more here to prepare for the metamorphosis to branch out. Only input in their goal is raise GST to cover spending. That only solution says it all, my dear friend.
