Mustank Hypersonic January 13, 2015 Share January 13, 2015 Gelyang HUAT ah!!!!! http://www.channelnewsasia.com/mobile/singapore/ura-proposes-rezoning-of/1586882.html URA proposes rezoning of parts of Geylang SINGAPORE: The Urban Redevelopment Authority on Tuesday (Jan 13) announced it is proposing to rezone parts of Geylang, so as to better manage the area in question and "prevent spillover of disamenities to surrounding areas". URA said the proposed area is bounded by Geylang Road, Lorong 22 Geylang, Guillemard Road and Lorong 4 Geylang, excluding the parcels of land zoned Road, the lots fronting Geylang Road and the sports field bounded by Talma Road and Lorong 12 Geylang. It plans to rezone this area from Residential/Institution to Commercial/Institution, according to its press release. Explaining the decision, URA Chief Planner Hwang Yu-Ning said in the proposal that Geylang is a "rich and colourful neighbourhood" interspersed with associations, clans, places of worship, shops, offices and residential uses. It is also a traditional red-light area, she noted. "The various entertainment and eating outlets in the area give rise to activities of a certain colour and vibrancy," Ms Hwang said. "With more new residential developments in the area, there has been an increasing spillover of disamenities and friction on the ground. "In our assessment, the growth of new residential community in the area of Lorongs 4-22 Geylang needs to be re-balanced and moderated." She added the new residential developments in the area, which have been approved will not be affected and can proceed to be built. The URA said members of public can submit their feedback, objection or representation to the proposal in writing to the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of National Development, 5 Maxwell Road, Singapore 069110, by Feb 11, 2015. More information on this proposal can be found on the URA website. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myxilplix Turbocharged January 13, 2015 Share January 13, 2015 (edited) How is rezoning going to "prevent spillover of disamenities to surrounding areas" when there are already so many residential lots in the area? Next time no more chicken house, will be chicken showroom or chicken office. Maybe chicken building, Chicken Shopping Centre.

Celicar Turbocharged January 13, 2015 Share January 13, 2015 "The various entertainment and eating outlets in the area give rise to activities of a certain colour and vibrancy," Ms Hwang said. Note, what we have there are entertainment and eating outlets. I also believe the use of the words "colour" and "vibrancy" is more than coincidental.

Throttle2 Supersonic January 13, 2015 Share January 13, 2015 Haha, my toes are laughing. Rezoning? Rezone one lorong to another lorong? Muayhahahahahahahah, please please use your head. The one on the neck, that is. Shifting the action here and there isnt gonna do much. And if you uproot the whole of geylang, another district elsewhere would be impacted. spillovers? Yes, it will always. Whadaya expect? Geylang is good for what it is, accept it. Live with it. Anyway, why do i care? Demolish the whole lot! Wahahaha 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hydrocarbon Turbocharged January 13, 2015 Share January 13, 2015 Simi is disamenities? Sounds like the people there are underhappy with their situation, due to frequent ponding in Singapore, so, amenities become disamenities and can spill over liao, whatever the heck the above sentence means. (I have totally no idea, which qualifies me for dispolitics.) =D Cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
