SINGAPORE — Singapore is set to remake its southern coast, with a continuous 120km-long waterfront stretching from Pasir Panjang Terminal to Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal offering many possibilities to imagine and build its future city, said Prime Minister Lawrence Wong. As part of this transformation, new homes will be added to waterfront precincts near the city, in Marina East and Nicoll — an area between Marina Bay and the Singapore Sports Hub in Kallang. Singapore's southern coastline will eventually comprise the Greater Southern Waterfront, Marina Bay, Kallang Basin and the future Long Island project, which could create 800ha of reclaimed land off East Coast Park. Speaking about these plans in his maiden National Day Rally speech on Aug 18, PM Wong said these major investments «will take decades to bear fruit», as did plans to reclaim and develop Marina Bay, which began right after Singapore gained independence in 1965. «Starting now, we can lay the foundations for a better Singapore in the decades to come,» the Prime Minister said during the rally, which is seen as the most significant political speech of the year.
