Environmental Impact Assessment/Studies for Land Acquisition for Expansion of Tengah Air Base

Mr Louis Ng Kok Kwang asked the Minister for National Development whether any environmental impact assessment or studies have been done in relation to the land acquisition for the expansion of Tengah Air Base.

Mr Lawrence Wong: An environmental study will be carried out before the land preparation works for the expansion of Tengah Air Base (TAB) commence. The study will guide the implementation of mitigation measures to minimise the potential impact of the TAB expansion on flora and fauna in that area.
