A flagship public-private capital-city development anchored by a Singapore government-linked consortium was shelved by the incoming state government in November 2019 after the World Bank and AIIB pulled funding, leaving capital-city works stalled for roughly five years before a partial 2024 revival.
On record
The official record states: "State Municipal Administration Minister cited "concerns over certain issues" and "no satisfactory response" from developers."
Filed as "Abandoned (partially revived from 2024)" and dated to Launched ~2015-17; scrapped Nov 2019, this entry sits under the "World Bank/AIIB withdrew funding July 2019; Singapore consortium reported losing "a few million dollars"" line of the public accounts.
What to expect
- A ribbon-cutting photograph that aged faster than the structure.
- Maintenance records that exist in principle.
- A budget line that grew with the confidence of the project itself.
- A file number that outlived several transfer postings.

Visitor reviews
“Found it by following a group of equally confused tourists. The estimate and the expenditure are no longer on speaking terms.”
“Visited after an argument about whether it actually existed. It was clearly value-engineered until the value left.”
“Went at golden hour, and it did photograph beautifully, to be fair. The foundation stone has outlasted two governments.”
