The Government had said in 2017 that it wants to strengthen the process for environmental impact assessments. In an update yesterday, a spokesman for the Ministry of National Development said that as part of the review, existing processes are now being studied "with a view to improving them, taking on board lessons and feedback from past experiences".
"These include studying how best to strengthen baseline survey methodology and how to ensure that mitigation measures are implemented in the right spirit, taking into consideration Singapore's unique urban context," she said, adding that more details will be shared later this year.
