\nThe overall impetus and vision for Jurong Lake District has not changed, regardless of the outcome of the high-speed rail (HSR) project between Singapore and Malaysia, said National Development Minister Lawrence Wong in Parliament on Monday.
\nHis statement comes after Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad has announced plans to scrap the mega rail project with the city-state \u2013 sparking concerns among Singapore citizens on the fate of the area.
\nWong, however, assured the public that the vision for the district remains unchanged.
\n\u201cSome details may need to be adjusted along the way, as circumstances change. But the bottom line is that we have an exciting transformation plan for the whole area, and we will proceed with the implementation of these plans when ready.\u201d
\nHe noted that the development of Jurong Lake District is part of the government\u2019s broader effort to develop urban centres outside the downtown area.
\n\u201cWe started with the building of our first regional centre at Tampines in 1992, and then started the work to transform Jurong in 2008,\u201d said Wong. \u201cSo the plans for Jurong Lake District were developed well before Malaysia proposed the HSR project.\u201d
\nIn fact, the government decided to have the Singapore terminus of the HSR in Jurong only in 2015.
\nHe revealed that the transformation plans for the district include the development of a commercial precinct and up to 20,000 new homes, the upgrade of Jurong Lake Gardens and the development of a major transport hub linking the existing North-South and East-West MRT Lines as well as the upcoming Jurong Region and Cross Island Lines.
\n\u201cThese plans are still relevant today. The land parcels that the government has acquired are needed to realise these plans.\u201d
\nWong noted that the Jurong Country Club site is needed for mixed use developments and community facilities, while the Raffles Country Club site will provide for the Cross Island Line\u2019s western depot and other transport related uses.
