Tengah to be developed into a 'Forest Town'

A town as big as Bishan will be built in Tengah.

Surrounded by greenery, it will be planned as a “Forest Town”, National Development Minister Lawrence Wong said in Parliament yesterday.

As he unveiled a map and an artist’s impression of Singapore’s 24th Housing Board town before MPs, Mr Wong said it will be integrated with nature as well as the nearby Jurong Innovation District.

“This is only one picture, I have seen many more – plans, pictures and visualisations of what our planners are doing,” he said.
