[SINGAPORE] Anger turned into a mix of relief and resignation for members of the Singapore Island Country Club (SICC) yesterday, when they learned that the fate of the club could have been worse.
In a six-page letter to club members on Tuesday night, SICC president Tay Joo Soon revealed that the authorities had originally not intended to renew the leases on two of the club's four golf courses when they expired in 2021.
The Ministry of Law had informed SICC in December that it would not extend the lease for its Bukit location next to MacRitchie Reservoir, where the club has two 18-hole courses.
