said National Development Minister Khaw Boon Wan on Monday morning.
Mr Khaw gave no additional details of the upcoming plan, which will outline Singapore's upcoming physical development, but added that Singapore has come a long way since its first Concept Plan in 1971.
"The underlying philosophy of making Singapore an endearing home and a clean, green, liveable city remains unchanged," he wrote on his blog.
The Minister added that Mr Henry Wardlaw of Sydney, who in the 1960s had headed the United Nations consultancy team responsible for Singapore's 1971 Concept Plan, had returned last month for a visit. Mr Wardlaw, now 91, helped conceptualise Changi Airport's first terminal, the Pan-Island Expressway and the first MRT lines. During his visit, he interacted with Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) planners and was "overwhelmed and astonished" at how much Singapore had undergone.

Singapore government is very practical. LH sites will always get all the TLC from governments. When they pump in $1, they make sure they make at least 10x back from GLS.

It's a tough choice. There is a chance traces of radioactive elements is present in the underground soil for eg. Radon. Fortunately, I am quite confident I don't need to stay in the west or underground! I want my Vitamin D too!

You guys and gals, please carry on without me.

You must be kidding. Pollution is everywhere, soil and water can be contaminated too ...

There is a good reason why the large majority is living above ground.

If there is a day the government wants people to live underground, I'd want to see them take the lead in moving their own homes there.
