Society of Construction Law (Singapore)

Dear members and friends of SCL(S),

It is with great pleasure that I introduce you to the 77th edition of the SCL (Singapore) newsletter.

This edition comes hot on the heels of our 2025 AGM and Annual Dinner, which were held on 21 August at OSO Ristorante, Oasia Hotel Downtown. I would like to extend our sincere gratitude to our gracious hosts on the night, as well as our events committee of course, who all worked tirelessly to make our event such a success. Further details and photos are shared below for those who were unable to attend.

On a personal note, as we enter into Singapore’s 61st year, I would like to take this opportunity to share my thoughts on working in the construction industry in Singapore for the past 10+ years.

It seems to me that there is no end to the new and exciting construction projects being embarked upon in this wonderful country. The high-profile commencement of Changi Airport Terminal 5, as well as the fourth tower at MBS remind us that Singapore is ever ambitious to remain ranked among the world’s top tourist destinations.

Meanwhile, the ongoing mega-projects such as the Integrated Waste Management Facility and Tuas Port demonstrate that Singapore is also committed to pioneering and developing world-class infrastructure to go alongside its many shiny jewels. Such a commitment to both luxury and functionality is rare and, in my view, is something that makes Singapore truly unique.

The future of construction in Singapore seems as bright and exciting as ever, and I am sure most of you will be playing your own part in that process, however big or small.

We hope you enjoy the content of this month’s newsletter, and we look forward to seeing you all at our Annual Conference on 25 September 2025 (if not before). For more details and to sign up, please click HERE.
