These days, more than three-quarters of the land in Singapore belongs to the government. However, this was only possible due to the Land Acquisition Act, which allows the government to acquire private land for public purposes.
More recently, there was an article about how the landlord of Kampong Lorong Buangkok has refused to sell the land, prompting comments on Hardware Zone that the government could acquire it through the Land Acquisition Act.According to the MinLaw website, the Land Acquisition Act can be used to acquire private land for public purposes. This includes the “building of transportation infrastructure and public housing”.
This was also when the government was relocating people living in kampongs to new HDB housing estates. Besides public housing, the land was acquired for industrial developments and the construction of roads, schools, community and recreational facilities. Given the purpose of the act and what we’ve seen with the past acquisition of private lands, can the government also enforce the Land Acquisition Act on Kampong Lorong Buangkok?Singapore’s last traditional village: Kampong Lorong Buangkok
