A PILOT project could see more privately-built and run markets and food centres in the heartlands, with Sengkang residents being the first to benefit.

FOR the past 10 years, this once-lovely icon has languished in disuse. Seven years and $1.51 million spent on feasibility studies, maintenance and reinstatement works led only to the eventual conclusion that the historic Capitol Theatre was "not viable" as a performing arts centre.

The Ministry of National Development (MND) announced it will not release any private residential sites outside...

The National Development Ministry (MND) says this is because the global economic outlook remains weak in 2009. This is expected to have an impact on Singapore's economy and property market. MND released its list of land parcels available for sale in the first half of next year on...
