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

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
