gotch hear wat he said.. 'for future development'.
Accquire some land like e ones at Macpherson/
Merpati Rd at current prices, next thing turn around sell
to ppl at rocket high prices due to MRT.
Dun forget they sold e Boon Lay Bus Int land for abt $300m to
build JP2 and Centris condo. Get to collect more property tax now..
But end up we get a small bus int for a big Jurong.
Furthermore MRT will never get to serve everywhere, even this
Downtown Line wun get ppl to Orchard directly, still nid to x-fer
to SBS buses at Bencoolen St. Go Bugis from Macpherson take Bus 63
still faster and cheaper.
Better land prices only benefits e PAP. Cheaper better
faster.
Even there are already calls to include architecture design of
the bldgs as criteria for land bidding as e simple land price
bidding is unsustainable (imo).
