He has architectural firm that surely stand to benefit from 10m planning.

spacious? how much land does sinkapore have? short of reclaimation? the other choice will be to cut down more trees and forests to make way for more towns, techno parks and industrial estates. how many of that do we have left? and soon we would have to dig deep into the catchment area to create more room for this so-called fake 'spaciousness'.

we are already losing biodiversity and nature at a rapid rate and the worsening of the climate and environment comes at development's expense.
Its abt stacking upwards like 50 storey HDBs and integrated facilities like Our Tampines Hub.
From a planning perspective, there are merits, but the costs will be prohibitive. For example, the water to support 10mil ppl can only be obtained at desalinated water prices.

This guy has been calling for 10-million population for dunno how many years already, almost like a troll
This is not his call as it is a political decision. But his bosses probably told him to plan to 10m as it was his job to build the housing. But he saying planning is not a target is just being deceptive.

EDMW is confirm never do project before. During project planning you always oversize the thing to factor in potential growth and excess budget. The larger the project, the more likely the budget is going to run over budget. The longer term the project, the more likely your estimation is too low. Population planning is an extremely long term project and extremely large in scope so they need to overplan. Or do EDMW prefer to go back to 2011 where MRT breaks down and HDB is not enough
So VB is with us in edmw, he never do project before, overspent on Youth Olymplic?

In honesty, planning for population growth is inevitable for SG Inc.
But its the planning part they never do right. For what i can see, there was little communication between ministries. Only when infrastructure cannot sustain or cater, then they start getting reactive. Highly paid but piss poor in their planning.

EDMWers all never plan real project before earn 15k a month.

This guy keep saying we are ready, always ready, just saying we don't know how to plan the land, and I think he's right, one little COVID only kena until all on their knees, still playing with numbers and statistics. :LOL:

Maybe he spent too long time in Mumbai.
Our island may not be tahan this scale of building... The ground leveling tend to shift here and there.. Just look at our road, it is getting more tilted, moreover SG is not many meters above sea level, it can make mega ponding a more frequently recurring events

is greedy pap lazily model singapore as monaco of the east?

Monaco's mild climate, scenery, and gambling facilities have contributed to the principality's status as a tourist destination and recreation centre for the rich. In more recent years, Monaco has become a major banking centre and has sought to diversify its economy into the services sector and small, high-value-added, non-polluting industries. Monaco is famous for being a tax haven: the principality has no personal income tax and low business taxes. Over 30% of the residents are millionaires,[17] with real estate prices reaching €100,000 ($116,374) per square metre in 2018.

The wider defence of the nation is provided by France. Monaco has no navy or air force, but on both a per-capita and per-area basis, Monaco has one of the largest police forces (515 police officers for about 38,000 people) and police presences in the world.[69] Its police includes a special unit which operates patrol and surveillance boats jointly with the military. Police forces in Monaco are commanded by a French officer.

Monaco's total population was 38,400 in 2015, and estimated by the United Nations to be 39,511 as of July 1, 2021. [157] [158] Monaco's population is unusual in that the native Monégasques are a minority in their own country:
