Picture: CLEARING LAND IN THE HEART OF SINGAPORE
The release of Paya Lebar Airbase land is sure a sign of the 6.9 million (or more) population that's to come. It must be remembered that buildings on the land around the region will also no longer be restricted to height, which means higher buildings can be constructed. A true sign that the PAPpy govt will not let up in its crazy pursuit of its 6.9 million or more population by 2030.
Look at the amount of land that will have height restriction removed. Sinkies can expect that all this land to be used to support the mad, mad overpopulation plan that's to come in 2030.
Prospects for airbase land excite developers
PROPERTY players are already excited at the prospect of redeveloping a vast area in the nation's heart - even though it will happen only after 2030.
Consultants and developers have been quick to size up the options for making use of 800ha of land to be freed up after the relocation of Paya Lebar Airbase.
The land and the removal of aircraft traffic that constrained building heights around the area "will provide more opportunities for new forms of development to cater to the future growth of Singapore", said Mr Jeffrey Ho, managing director of urban planning at building consultancy Surbana International Consultants.
"It will have a positive impact on long-term land use planning, given the scarcity of land here."
The plan to move the airbase to Changi East was announced by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong in his National Day Rally speech.
Yep, note that the land and the buildings to accommodate everyone will all be ready around 2030, the very date set by the PAPpy guys to target that mad, mad 6.9 million.
Singapore is going to sink into the sea, under the weight of all the mass of human bodies by then.
