02:45 Min

The Government is looking at how to ensure continued public access to golfing. Senior Parliamentary Secretary for Culture, Community and Youth Eric Chua said this on Wednesday (Apr 3) in answer to an MP’s questions about the closure of all three public golf courses by 2024. Mr Chua said the operator of the Mandai Executive Golf Course has been granted a two-year tenancy extension until the end of 2026. The Government has also worked with Keppel Club to set aside slots at the Sime course for public use at an affordable price and is exploring the possibility of introducing night golfing at the course. The Government will also look into the feasibility of public golfing facilities for the longer term, while balancing competing demands for land use, said Mr Chua.
