Press Release EMBARGOED TILL 8.00PM, 8 SEPTEMBER 2016 PRESS RELEASE Unveiling the Masterplan for Tengah : At Home With Nature Minister for National Development, Mr Lawrence Wong unveiled the masterplan for Singapore’s 24th HDB town, Tengah, at the HDB Awards Ceremony on 8 September 2016. Following the announcement, a public exhibition on the key planning concepts for Tengah will be held from 9 to 25 September 2016 at HDB Hub. 2 As the master planner and developer of Singapore’s public housing estates, HDB is constantly on the lookout for innovative ideas to provide residents with a quality living environment. In line with HDB’s Roadmap to provide well-designed, sustainable and community-centric towns, we have seen the steady completion of a new generation of public housing projects in recent years, each with their own distinctive designs, abundant green spaces, seamlessly-connected cycling and pedestrian networks, and vibrant community spaces for interaction. The upcoming new “Forest Town”, Tengah, will further raise the bar for public housing, with its fresh planning concepts, bold ideas and innovative designs. 3 Located in the Western region of Singapore, Tengah is bounded by the Kranji Expressway (KJE), Pan-Island Expressway (PIE), Brickland Road and Bukit Batok Road. The key driving planning concept behind Tengah is the creation of a “Forest Town”, with homes surrounded by lush greenery and nature, where residents can enjoy quality living and connect with the community in a myriad of amenities and green spaces. Tengah, Singapore’s 24th HDB town, will be transformed into a “Forest Town” that is green, sustainable and smart EMBARGOED TILL 8.00PM, 8 SEPTEMBER 2016 4 The development of Tengah will be guided by six key ideas as follows: Creating an evergreen forest town Provisions for moving around with ease Provisions for walking and cycling everywhere Creating five unique housing districts Enabling close-knit communities Creating a Smart and sustainable town 5 Tengah will see several ‘firsts’ in its development. It will be the first “forest town” that is planned to be integrated with the area’s surrounding greenery and biodiversity. One major attraction will be the creation of an approximately 100-metre wide and 5km long forest corridor, a collaboration with National Parks Board which will form part of the larger network of greenery that connects the Western Water Catchment Area and the Central Catchment Nature Reserve. This forest corridor will be planted with rainforest tree species to transform it into a rich forest habitat. Amenities such as hiking trails would be incorporated in the corridor for the community to get close to nature and enjoy the rainforest. Residents can relax and interact with one another in a forest-like setting along the forest corridor 6 For the first time, Singapore will also see a car-free Town Centre in an HDB town. The Tengah Town Centre will be designed amidst a lush park, with vehicles plying underneath the town centre. It will offer a greener, car-lite, people-friendly and pedestrian-friendly environment. All the roads in Tengah will also come with dedicated walking and cycling paths on both sides of the road, to enable residents to enjoy seamless and safe connections for walking and cycling. EMBARGOED TILL 8.00PM, 8 SEPTEMBER 2016 Tengah’s town centre will break new ground with a car-free concept Dedicated walking and cycling networks will enable Tengah residents to adopt green commuting as well as lead active and healthier lifestyles 7 Beyond green living, HDB will also leverage Information and Communication Technology in Tengah to enable “smart” living. The development of Tengah will be guided by the Smart HDB Town Framework, introduced in 2014. The framework covers four key dimensions : Smart Planning; Smart Environment; Smart Estate; Smart Living. Smart solutions can help create a more livable, sustainable and safe living environment. Residents can benefit from more efficient services and greater convenience, both at home, and in the estate. 8 In addition to these, the public can also look forward to a host of other new and exciting developments in Tengah, such as the creation of: a) Five new housing districts, namely – Plantation District, Garden District, Park District, Brickland District and Forest Hill District. These are designed with community and nature in mind so that residents can experience quality living with nature and greenery at their doorstep. EMBARGOED TILL 8.00PM, 8 SEPTEMBER 2016 Five housing districts in Tengah, each with a unique character The first batch of flats will be launched from 2018 onwards in the Plantation District b) A large Central Park, approximately the size of Ang Mo Kio Town Garden West (about 20 hectares), will be complemented with ponds and canals to provide lush greenery and blue spaces. EMBARGOED TILL 8.00PM, 8 SEPTEMBER 2016 Central Park will be the centerpiece of green spaces in Tengah, offering a scenic and tranquil spot for residents to relax and enjoy various recreational activities c) New spaces such as “Community Farmways”, where residents can enjoy community gardening and urban farming in their own neighbourhood “Community Farmways” will provide residents with hobby farming opportunities and encourage bonding among residents. d) A good spread of facilities at the town, district and local levels that are easily accessible, so that the daily needs of residents will be conveniently met. For instance, there could be integrated developments with various facilities, such as a sports centre and playing fields which are located near homes and places of work. e) Road networks are also designed to meet future needs. They could support future forms of mobility, such as Autonomous Vehicles or Self-driving Vehicles; as well as various transportation networks, such as the upcoming Jurong Region Line (JRL) and buses that provide seamless connectivity to neighbouring towns and the city. In addition, most bus stops will also be conveniently located within 300- metres of residents’ homes. EMBARGOED TILL 8.00PM, 8 SEPTEMBER 2016 Moving Forward 9 The exciting developments for Tengah will be rolled out progressively, with the first batch of flats to be launched in the Plantation District from 2018 onwards. More details will be made available closer to the actual launch. When completed, Tengah is estimated to provide about 42,000 new homes. Of these, about 30,000 units will be for public housing and 12,000 units will be for private housing. 10 Beyond Tengah, the western region is also undergoing an urban transformation. The Jurong Lake District will be transformed into ‘A District of the Future’ and Singapore’s second Central Business District (CBD). Jurong Innovation District (JID), Singapore’s next- generation industrial district housing learning, research, innovation and manufacturing activities, will be located next to Tengah. JID will support the transformation of Singapore’s manufacturing landscape and serve as a model for the “workplace of the future”. These new developments in the Western region will open up exciting job, residential and recreational opportunities for everyone. 11 The Tengah exhibition will be held from 9 to 25 September 2016 at HDB Hub Sales Display Area (1st storey). It will be opened daily, from 9am to 8pm. The public is invited to visit the exhibition and give their feedback on Singapore’s first “Forest Town”.

Digital breadcrumbs: Detecting urban mobility patterns and transport mode choices from cellphone networks Thomas Holleczek, Liang Yu, Joseph K. Lee, Oliver Senn, Kristian Kloeckl, Carlo Ratti, Patrick Jaillet September 2, 2013 Many modern and growing cities are facing declines in public transport usage, with few efficient methods to explain why. In this article, we show that urban mobility patterns and transport mode choices can be derived from cellphone call detail records coupled with public transport data recorded from smart cards. Specifically, we present new data mining approaches to determine the spatial and temporal variability of public and private transportation usage and transport mode preferences across Singapore. Our results, which were validated by Singapore’s quadriennial Household Interview Travel Survey (HITS), revealed that there are 3.5 (HITS: 3.5 million) million and 4.3 (HITS: 4.4 million) million inter-district passengers by public and private transport, respectively. Along with classifying which transportation connections are weak or underserved, the analysis shows that the mode share of public transport use increases from 38 % in the morning to 44 % around mid-day and 52 % in the evening. 1Introduction Securing public transportation ridership is critical for developing a sustainable urban future. However, existing systems for analyzing and identifying weaknesses in public transport connec- tions face major limitations. In cities, origin-destination (OD) matrices—which measure the flow of people between di↵erent geographical regions—are often generated using household surveys and roadside monitoring, approaches which are time consuming, expensive, and lack spatial and temporal accuracy [1].

  • The Intervention of Plants in the Conflicts Between Buildings and Climate
    THE INTERVENTION OF PLANTS IN THE CONFLICTS BETWEEN BUILDINGS AND CLIMATE ─ A CASE STUDY IN SINGAPORE CHEN YU (B. Arch., M.A. (Arch.)) A THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY DEPARTMENT OF BUILDING NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF SINGAPORE 2006 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I could not come this far without my supervisor, Associate Prof. Wong Nyuk Hien, who guided, encouraged, and supported me not only as a patient teacher but also a great friend. I did benefit a lot from the unrestricted research environment and the tradition of being productive in his team. My appreciation should also extend to my thesis committee members, Dr. Lim Guan Tiong and Dr Liew Soo Chin for their invaluable advices and interests in my research work. It is also my deep gratitude that I can work under many different research projects during the last few years with Dr Tan Puay Yok, Ms Ong Chui Leng, Ms Angelia Sia from National Parks Board (NParks), Mr Wong Wai Ching from Building and Construction Authority (BCA), Mr Wong Siu Tee and Mr Calvin Chung From JTC Corporation, and Ms Tay Bee Choo from Housing and Development Board (HDB). The invaluable experience and the related research findings are of great help in this dissertation writing. Of particular significant is the experimental environment and the plants provided by NParks in its Pasir Panjiang nursery. I am grateful to Ms Boo Chih Min, Dr Tan Puay Yok, and Ms Angelia Sia for their effort in expediting the process. Meanwhile, without the kind help provided by Madam Chua-Tan Boon Gek and Ms Sanisah Rasman on the spot, the tedious field work would exhaust my patience at the very beginning.

  • (NSS)'S Position on HDB's Tengah Forest Plan Summary Introduction
    Nature Society Singapore (NSS)’s Position on HDB’s Tengah Forest Plan Summary The HDB’s plan for a ‘Forest Town’ at Tengah is laudable in the setting aside of a 5km-long and 100m-wide green corridor called the ‘Tengah Nature Way’ (TNW) --- for wildlife dispersal between the Western Catchment and the Central Nature Reserve (Bukit Timah & Central Catchment). The plan to green and soften up the one and large Canal in the area running north into the Kranji Reservoir extends admirably what has been accomplished at the Kallang River in Bishan Park. But disappointingly, HDB’s vision of a forest town involves only about 7 % or slightly more of the original forest being set aside for the conservation of biodiversity. Given the impressive records from NParks’ survey of wildlife in the area, NSS’ position is that this will be tragic for the rich wildlife currently inhabiting the area. In terms of ecological sustainability, there is lacking a robust plan for the ‘Forest Town’. Here, NSS proposes that there should be two core forest areas set aside at both ends of the TNW as havens for the remaining wildlife in the area after the completion of the housing development --- both of which can also function as resting and calming stop-overs for those wildlife on long-range dispersal. NSS also indicates here the directional thrust on both the western and the eastern end of TNW for an effective connectivity between the Western Catchment and the Central Nature Reserve --- as well as a green waterway connectivity from the Canal to the marshland of the Kranji Marshes Park to the north.

  • BBR Holdings Reported S$114.6 Million Revenue for Its First Nine Months Ended 30 September 2017
    MEDIA RELEASE For Immediate Release BBR Holdings reported S$114.6 million revenue for its first nine months ended 30 September 2017 Highlights: Earning per share improved at 1.07 cents Net Asset Value per share stood at 41.54 cents Acquisition of Goh & Goh completed with developmental plans on track SINGAPORE, 6 November 2017 – MAINBOARD-LISTED BBR Holdings (S) Ltd (BBR 控股) (“BBR” or “the Group”) announced today that the Group has recorded revenue of S$114.6 million in the first nine months of FY2017 (9M2017) compared to S$212.4 million in the first nine months of FY2016 (9M2016). Net profit attributable to equity holders of the Company rose to S$3.4 million in 9M2017 compared to a net loss of S$8.5 million in 9M2016, mainly from improved results of associates’ and joint ventures’ profits. Group revenue decreased by 46.1% from S$212.4 million in 9M2016 to S$114.6 million in 9M2017. The decline in revenue in both the General Construction Segment and Specialist Engineering Segment were due to lower project work activities in the current financial year. However, gross profit increased by S$8.1 million with an improvement in the gross profit margin from 3.6% to 13.8% over the two periods in comparison. Share of results of joint ventures jumped 219.4% from S$0.7 million in 9M2016 to S$2.3 million in 9M2017. This was largely due to the progressive recognition of income from the sale of condominium units of The Wisteria. To date, all 216 units were sold and TOP was expected in the second half of 2018.

The flask is thrown on to a large centrifuge, spun to allow the tiny seed to begin to germinate. The seed after some time will soon erupt, revealing a small, two-leaved plant. Kept in the confines of its personal sterile green house, the plant uses photosynthesis to achieve a more mature form. Eventually the plant will be moved to a larger flask until it is large enough to be de-flasked. The young plant will be brought out of artificial light to its new home: a small medicine-cup-sized plastic pot.

    CENSUS OF Administrative POPULATION Report 2020 www.singstat.gov.sg Census of Population 2020 : Administrative Report ISBN 978-981-18-1383-2 © Department of Statistics, Ministry of Trade & Industry, Republic of Singapore Reproducing or quoting any part of this publication is permitted, provided this publication is accredited as the source. Please refer to the Statistics Singapore Website Terms of Use (http://www.singstat.gov.sg/terms-of-use) for more details on the conditions of use of this publication PREFACE The Census of Population 2020 was the sixth census carried out in Singapore since Independence and the fifteenth in the series of census taking from 1871. The census is the most comprehensive source of information on population and households and provides benchmark data for demographic and social statistics. Similar to Census 2000 and 2010, Census 2020 adopted a register-based approach with a large-scale sample survey. Basic population count and characteristics were compiled from administrative records. More detailed information on language, economic characteristics, transport, religion, difficulty in performing basic activities as well as housing and household characteristics were obtained from a sample enumeration of about 150,000 households. For Census 2020, a tri-modal data collection strategy comprising Internet enumeration, Computer-Assisted Telephone Interviewing (CATI) and face-to-face interviews using mobile devices was adopted to facilitate data collection for the households in the census sample. Leveraging technological advances, machine learning was also applied to improve the data processing processes. This Administrative Report provides a comprehensive documentation of the Census of Population 2020 planning and operations. It outlines the major milestones including preparations for the sample enumeration, implementation of the IT application system as well as documenting the collection, processing, dissemination, administrative activities and resources utilised to conduct Census 2020.

  • Typifying Tongkat Ali and Other Notes on the Simaroubaceae in Singapore
    Gardens’ Bulletin Singapore 73(1): 9–16. 2021 9 doi: 10.26492/gbs73(1).2021-02 Flora of Singapore precursors, 22: typifying Tongkat Ali and other notes on the Simaroubaceae in Singapore I.M. Turner1,2 1Singapore Botanical Liaison Officer, Royal Botanic Gardens Kew, Richmond, Surrey, TW9 3AE, U.K. [email protected] 2Singapore Botanic Gardens, National Parks Board, 1 Cluny Road, 259569 Singapore ABSTRACT. The native Simaroubaceae of Singapore (four genera with one species each) are listed with full synonymy and typification. In the absence of any original material, a neotype is designated for Eurycoma longifolia Jack. Recent collections confirmSamadera indica Gaertn. as native in Singapore. In total 14 lectotypes and 3 neotypes are designated. Keywords. Ailanthus, Brucea, Eurycoma, Samadera Introduction The Simaroubaceae are a family of some 22 genera with about 110 species in total (Clayton, 2011). The family is included in the Sapindales, forming a major clade with the larger families Meliaceae and Rutaceae. Members of the Simaroubaceae are mostly trees and shrubs, with species found throughout the tropics and subtropics, and a few extending into the northern temperate regions. The ‘Tree of Heaven’ is a vernacular name applied to certain species and the family in general. The origins of this lie with the great Dutch botanist Rumphius (Georg Eberhard Rumpf; 1627–1702) who lived on the island of Ambon in the Moluccas for many years. According to Rumphius (1743), a very tall tree species on the island was known locally as ‘Aylanto’ which Rumphius translated into Latin as ‘Arbor Coeli’ or in English, Tree of Heaven.

These Mesozoic strata are deformed into a pattern of NE-translated 19 ductile–brittle deformation structures during the latest Triassic to earliest Jurassic collision and 20 amalgamation of the Sibumasu continental block with the southern part of the Sukhothai Arc. The 21 subduction-related magmatic complex represented in Singapore by the granitic to gabbroic plutons 22 of the Bukit Timah Centre likely acted as a backstop to thrusting at this time. Collisional tectonics 23 drove progressive shortening and steepened earlier-formed inclined asymmetrical folds, 24 culminating in the regional-scale development of a non-coaxial, NE-vergent and NE-facing, fold 25 and thrust system.
