Punggol is now named as the "Waterfront Town of the 21st century" where they will bring waters closer to the residents, create a unique town centre, have a recreation coastline etc etc.
This is a picture of the plans I took during the exhibition and what it would look like.
They are also building eco-friendly HDB flats which I am definitely in support for!
