NDR 2026: East Coast’s Long Island to become new waterfront

🏝️ Long Island at East Coast will become a new waterfront with residential buildings, Prime Minister Lawrence Wong said on Sunday (Aug 23) in his National Day Rally speech.

“At that time, some people worried that homes built on reclaimed land would sink,” Mr Wong said as he recalled memories of his HDB flat in Marine Parade in the 1970s.

“Today these homes are highly sought after … One day, Long Island will become another new waterfront for future generations.” #sgnews #singapore #NDR2026
