SINGAPORE imports sand from various countries to ensure resilience in its supply, the Ministry of National Development (MND) said in response to a report that Malaysia has banned exports of sea sand - used in land reclamation - since last October.
"The government has also been encouraging the industry to reduce the reliance on sand," added the ministry, which oversees Singapore's sand imports, in response to Reuters queries.
