Yet, Singapore is studying the feasibility of building a huge underground warehousing and data centre at Tanjung Kling, near Jurong Bird Park, BT has learnt.
The logistics and data centre will be the third underground facility which Singapore is planning. Construction is already underway on the first phase $1 billion Jurong Rock Cavern to store oil and chemicals on Jurong Island, while a feasibility study is being carried out for an underground science city at Kent Ridge.
So will these projects get priority in flood prevention over residential, commercial areas?
