a new science centre will be beside it...not sure what are they going to do to the existing Chinese gardens? Something like gardens by the bay? Or another theme park? Big Grin

Jurong east currently have so many shopping malls 1 big hospital 1 hotel but guess what for the HSR we have only 1 station msia side plan to have 3 stations how many malls hospital do you think are they going to stack at their own stations.

some more s$ over 2x $msia so think msians will come here to shop at jurong or likely is other way round our people will flock there to splurge.

The problem is not building all these things the problem they have to think how to use this to attract and sustain the tourist volumes long after the hype is gone maybe when it's new there's a lot of interest but over time without a good magnet attraction likely it will slowly die out.

I think it is lesser on the tourism factor but more on 1) residents in Iskandar and 2) business.
For 1), this opens a real possibility of staying in Iskandar and working in Singapore and really bring forwards the possibility of Iskandar being a "housing estate" for Singaporeans. For 2), it instead of housing, it forms an alternative CBD... for business and Singaporean factories based in Iskandar and Malaysia.
You can count on the greed of man for the next recession to happen.
