Mr Cheo Chai Chen asked the Minister for Defence what is being earmarked for that plot of land encompassing the Sembawang hot spring and what is the present state of the hot spring.

Dr Lee Boon Yang: The land adjacent to the hot spring site in Sembawang was acquired by Government in 1985 for MINDEF's use. The land is needed for RSAF's airbase development. Even with the land acquisition, MINDEF has allowed the hot spring to continue to be tapped by F & N through underground piping so long as various security conditions are adhered to. However, we understand the extraction of the water has now ceased.
