Sing Holdings' management are kinda confident that there will be a revision if not they would have launch the Robin site already. The 4th(last) plot of land in Robin was bought more than a year ago.....Dec 2011. Anyway currently the plot ratio of the site is 1.4. Punggol EC plot is 3.5 if I am not wrong.
With increased population, govt trying to find more 'land'. Personally I think it is 'stupid' if sites near MRT has a low plot ratio while those far from the MRT has a higher plot ratio. That meant people will have to take transport to get to MRT which meant more vehicle traffic and jam.....
one minus for robin site in getting a revision is that it is a private land but then govt can still make money from development charges

To support this larger population, we need to (a) reclaim additional land; (b) develop some of our reserve land; © intensify new developments; and (d) recycle land with lower intensity uses such as old industrial areas (General Magnetic Building in Toa Payoh?.....pray hard...hee hee) and some golf courses to achieve higher land productivity.
Well said bro,
Guaranteed site near MRT station within 1 km they will revise the plot ratio whether it 2.8, 3.0 or 3.5 depends on the new master-plan guideline which we are still waiting, of course exclude those site near airport, e.g. Expo mrt station..
