New-era industrial park
Senior Minister of State for National Development and Education Grace Fu this week suggested ways for Singapore to become a more attractive place to live and work in. She gave examples both in industry and the arts.

EVEN in property-obsessed Singapore, industrial sites are often dismissed as drab, dull areas that hold no interest for the general public.
But new-era industrial parks like the one planned at Lorong Halus in Tampines could change all this.
Formerly a landfill, the land is now home to a wide diversity of wildlife.
When it is turned into an industrial park in the years to come, factories and plants will be sited among lush greenery and waterfront lifestyle amenities that the public can use.
The planned Lorong Halus industrial area was one of the examples cited by the Economic Strategies Committee sub-committee on how to make better use of land. Among its recommendations was a suggestion to better integrate residential, business, leisure and even 'clean' industrial uses into 'live-work-play' enclaves.
