1. Singapore has reclaimed nearly 14,000 hectares of land since 1965. The land where Marina Bay is
located is reclaimed in the 1990s, and has been part of the Lion City’s land reserve since then. After
long-term planning, Marina Bay Sands was completed in 2011, and has since brought significant
contribution to the Singapore tourism industry. The Marina Bay Financial Center was completed in
2013 and became Singapore's new financial hub. The government of Singapore has indicated that
it will continue with reclamation vigorously, including the expansion of Changi Airport eastward to
relocate existing air bases and relocation of the original container terminal to the south of the
country. A total of 1,800 hectares of land will be vacated for residential use. Hong Kong should take
reference from the example of Singapore.
