For JCC, it will be the site of the Singapore-KL High Speed Rail terminus. This had the unintended effect of boosting property prices in the immediate area (Jurong area \u2013 Jurong East, Lakeside and even Jurong West). It would not be surprising there could be more vibrant, new commercial amenities to be constructed around the terminus once the Singapore-KL High Speed Rail begins operations.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>How is the Raffles Country Club site different<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, for this acquisition, the Raffles Country Club site is also for the Cross Island Line\u2019\u2019s western depot for stabling and maintenance facilities, also likely used for train-testing facilities and the running of at-grade HSR tracks towards the terminus at Jurong East. It seems the site where Raffles Country Club is now will be a supporting one, to make way for the operational and facility needs of both the HSR and CRL.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From an economic perspective, sacrificing Raffles Country Club will directly introduce the \u2018highest and best use\u2019 for the land it sits on. However, because it will be cleared for the purposes of supporting HSR and CRL\u2019s operations and facilities, it is unlikely that said acquisition will directly raise the value\/purpose of the area. Unless more commercial or lifestyle amenities are to be built around it, there will be no reason for investors and homebuyers alike to raise an eyebrow.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Implications of building transportation facilities on the land Raffles Country Club is built on<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The acquisition of <\/span><b>Raffles Country Club <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is definitely a sacrifice of wealthy club members\u2019 lifestyle needs for future strategic, infrastructural development in Singapore that benefit the masses. In this case, the Singapore-KL High Speed Rail and CRL are strategic initiatives that bring commuting and accessibility to the next level for everyone in Singapore.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>It will be the second case of a golf course giving way for development in Singapore, following what has happened to Jurong Country Club. Golf courses (and by extension, country clubs) which cater to upmarket, lifestyle needs, will definitely have to give way to other competing needs in land-scarce Singapore, where there is a growing need to keep rejuvenating existing areas to meet future needs. Hence while it is a painful decision to acquire the Raffles Country Club, the policy context mean that the hard decision to acquire the land must still be made.<\/p>\n<h3><b>A word on the government\u2019s priority in allocating land for redevelopment<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>Guided by the main prerogative of bringing the most benefit to the masses, the government\u2019s priority of sites for release under Government Land Sale (GLS) &amp; acquisition exercises aim to rank user groups\u2019 needs by order of importance:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Residential &#8211; Highest priority as it satisfies en-masse needs\/aspirations for affordable private and public housing.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Industrial &#8211; Although industrial activities have dwindled in Singapore, it is still necessary to safeguard the needs of companies in this sector, especially if they are multi-national ones who have still placed their bets by operating in Singapore <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Commercial (office) sites \u2013 To ensure sufficient affordable space for office use and maintain our cost-competitiveness for financial activities<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Retail \u2013 essential as lifestyle amenities for locals and visitors\/tourists<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hotel \u2013 essential to support tourism growth <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lifestyle &#8211; Other considerations such as golf courses and country clubs \u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That is why in context of pressing issues to maintain equilibrium through appropriate release of land for different uses, hotel and recreational land use is put on the back-burner. This is perfectly understandable as land is after all finite in Singapore and there is always an opportunity cost to release it for a specific use. If the land-use is more commercially-driven or \u00a0for a niche audience, then it will be prioritised lower in the agenda.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-7607\"
