NDR 2026: Pulau Tekong reclamation - Toa Payoh-sized area available for civilian use

Once reclamation works around Pulau Tekong are completed, there will be 500 hectares of land available for future civilian use – the size of Toa Payoh town. It’s the amount of land remaining after meeting the Singapore Armed Forces’ (SAF) needs, Prime Minister Lawrence Wong said in his National Day Rally speech on Sunday (Aug 23). “We have not decided what to use this land for. And we don’t have to decide now,” Mr Wong said. “What matters is that we have the space, and that gives us valuable options for the future.” #NDR2026 #singapore #sgnews Subscribe to our channel here: https://cna.asia/youtubesub Visit our website: https://cna.asia Download our app: https://cna.asia/app Get our editors' picks of stories via chat apps: Telegram: https://cna.asia/telegram WhatsApp: https://cna.asia/whatsapp Follow us on these platforms: https://www.facebook.com/channelnewsasia https://www.instagram.com/channelnewsasia https://www.tiktok.com/@channelnewsasia
