SICC aims to solve land issues this month

[SINGAPORE] The general committee of Singapore Island Country Club (SICC) is expected to meet the authorities and NTUC this month to "reach common grounds" on the final demarcation of its land, for which the government is not extending the lease.

This was noted in a three-page circular to SICC members sent by SICC president Tay Joo Soon yesterday. The Business Times obtained a copy of it.

The government had informed SICC last December that it would not extend the lease for its Bukit location next to MacRitchie Reservoir, where the club has two 18-hole courses. Following an appeal by the SICC committee, the government allowed the renewal of the lease for one of the courses at Bukit till 2030. But the other course is to be made public, and be managed by the labour movement.
