This formed 3 types of schooling systems in Singapore- Malay schools, Chinese and Tamil school (together) and English schools. The Singapore education provides multi-cultural and multi-racial characteristics, a bilingual policy which interns aim at providing students with a holistic and broad-based education. Under this bilingual policy, students get to learn two languages- English which the common language and their mother tongue languages (Chinese, Tamil or Malay) to maintain their culture, heritage, values and ethnic identity.

  • Release No.: 43/OCT SPEECH by MR. LIM HNG KIANG, ACTING MINISTER for NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT, at TEE OPENING of the WHAMPOA FLYOVER
    Release No.: 43/OCT 14-2/94/10/29 SPEECH BY MR. LIM HNG KIANG, ACTING MINISTER FOR NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT, AT TEE OPENING OF THE WHAMPOAFLYOVER ON SATURDAY, 29 OCTOBER1994 AT 11.30 AN I am happy to be here this morning to officially open the new Whampoa Flyover. The Pan-Island Expressway (PIE) is Singapore's first and longest expressway. To cater for further increases in travel demand, the Public Works Department (PWD) had in 1991 embarked on a $185 million comprehensive programme to upgrade and improve the middle stretch of PIE between Jalan Eunos and BKE. The upgrading works include the widening of the main carriageway, the expansion of the Woodsville, Whampoa and Whitley Flyovers, the building of the new Kim Keat Flyover, and the improvement to the Toa Payoh South Flyover. The interchange of the Pan Island Expressway and the Central Expressway (CTE) is a major intersection of the two expressways. It is also, at present, the most complex in our expressway network in that it is the only one which serves as a four-way junction for intersecting expressways. Elsewhere in Singapore, our expressways have been planned to meet at three-way junctions. PWD has staged the construction of the interchange to meet traffic needs. When the CTE was built in 1983, the first stage of the interchange, allowing for three turning movements, was constructed. Provisions were made in the design for its expansion to take on more turning movements. Five additional turning movements are catered by the complete interchange layout, two of which have been opened as part of the construction works.

  • Kallang River to Be Rejuvenated
    Kallang River to Be Rejuvenated On 29 March, the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) launched a new exhibition titled “A River Runs Through It”. This exhibition is a call for public feedback on a preliminary conceptual plan to improve connectivity along the 14km­long Kallang River, and to revitalise the areas around it. Minister for National Development and Second Minister for Finance Mr Lawrence Wong officiated at the launch of the exhibition. Potential for Rejuvenation Aerial view of possible enhancements along the Kallang River The Kallang River is Singapore’s longest natural river. Originating from Lower Peirce Reservoir, the river passes through many housing and industrial areas such as Ang Mo Kio, Bishan, Toa Payoh, Bendemeer, and Kallang Bahru before merging into the Kallang Basin. Some 800,000 people now live within 2km of the Kallang River. Over the next 20 years, there is potential to introduce another 100,000 dwelling units into the area. Waterfront rejuvenation started in the 1980s in Singapore, following the clean­up of both the Singapore River and the Kallang Basin. Over the past 30 years, the government has focused on the Singapore River, Marina Bay, and the Kallang Basin. The time is ripe to begin discussions about the further rejuvenation of the Kallang River. URA also hopes to upgrade underpasses and to build new ones in the area, including one under Sims Avenue that would help connect Kallang MRT station to the Singapore Sports Hub. Pedestrian crossings at Serangoon Road and Bendemeer Road are also expected to be widened to facilitate cycling. The existing CTE crossing could be widened and deepened for a more conducive environment for active mobility Currently, cyclists travelling along the Kallang River face several obstacles, including an 83­step climb with their bicycles up a pedestrian overhead bridge across the Pan­Island Expressway (PIE) and a 47­ step descent on the other side.
