Gov’t exploring new rail lines

The government also intends to invest up to an additional $1b for rail management.

The government is studying the feasibility of a proposed new rail line, tentatively called the Seletar Line, which could serve areas such as Woodlands, Sembawang, Sengkang West, Serangoon North, Whampoa, Kallang, and the Greater Southern Waterfront.

Additionally, a new possible rail line called the Tengah Line was also identified. Feasibility studies are ongoing to assess how it can serve areas such as Tengah, Bukit Batok, Queensway, and Bukit Merah.

If feasible, the government expects to complete them in phases from the 2040s. The lines are estimated to serve more than 400,000 households.

Moreover, the government also intends to invest up to an additional $1b over the next five years to enhance the management of rail assets and improve its capabilities.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
