Should the prime Raffles Town Club site be earmarked for HDB homes?

SINGAPORE’S various social and recreation clubs offer their members use of a wide range of dining and sports facilities as well as opportunities to network and participate in curated events. I enjoy being a member of two such clubs.

Still, there are doubts over the long-term viability of clubs as dining, entertainment, wellness and leisure options abound in Singapore.

While clubs in general grapple with staying relevant over the longer term, members of Raffles Town Club (RTC), located at 1 Plymouth Avenue in the heart of Bukit Timah, face a pressing problem in the short term.
