Enhancements to Construction Safety Management Following Investigation of Tanjong Katong Road South Sinkhole

Ms Gho Sze Kee asked the Minister for National Development in light of the findings of the Tanjong Katong Road South sinkhole investigation, whether any further enhancements are being considered to strengthen project oversight, site supervision, risk management and the reporting and escalation of potential safety concerns in construction and infrastructure projects.

Mr Chee Hong Tat: As the matter is currently before the Courts, the Ministry of National Development is unable to comment further on this case. We have shared the investigation findings earlier and assessed that our current regulatory regime remains adequate.
