We have partnered closely with the Dutch to design and construct the polder – drawing on their vast experience, and adapting it to Singapore’s tropical context.

Looking forward to seeing the completed polder in a few years!

"A floating paradise." The Nederlands.

Rising sea levels are also a threat for Singapore.

Our PM Lee Hsien Loong talked about one of the strategies to tackle this problem during the 2019 National Day Rally.
