but land remains an issue. indo and malaysia stopped selling sands to singapore for obvious reason. from which country singapore gets the supplies for land reclamation? tengah and bidadari are potential sites for future new town development after punggol and that's that. are there any empty lands left for new town development? how sustainable singapore is to accomodate ever increasing numbers of population considering the scarcity of land, unless indo is willing to sell batam island to singapore.
well, everyday you can see sand intake from sg, must be coming from somewhere... indo still supplies to sg
6bill is high, around 7 bill is max... after that, they would be like israel

too bad, there are still struggling in lack of electricity... now still need to buy electricity from Msia.. sad.
this is why SG consider to build a nuclear plant.
and the worst part is... SG is lack of land for further exploitation and population growth. After 20 yrs, SG development will eventually come to a standstill due to no land for further developments.
I hope Australia will sell some islands to SG (at least equivalent to half the size of current SG in the next few years).

no lack of electricity la... just that they want to diversify or find cheaper sources only...nuclear plant is a nono unless it is a mini one
dont worry, if msia is not in, indo will go in... sg is rich, everybody wants to be its friend
