GREEN FAIRWAY GOLF CLUB

Mr Cyrille Tan asked the Minister for Law what are the plans of his Ministry when the lease of Green Fairway Golf Club, presently managed by the Singapore Turf Club, expires in 1999 in view of Singapore Turf Club relocating to Kranji.

Prof. S. Jayakumar: The Green Fairway Golf Club is on land in Bukit Timah belonging to the Singapore Turf Club on 999-year lease or freehold. When the Turf Club relocates to Kranji in 1999, it will return all its land in Bukit Timah to the State, including the land occupied by Green Fairway Golf Club. The longer term plan is for the land to be used for residential purposes. In the interim period, pending such redevelopment, Land Office plans to allow the continued use of the land for the golf course and the driving range. In that event it will consider tendering it out or appointing an agent to manage these facilities.
