Notwithstanding the above-mentioned, the Group maintains a positive outlook for its operations in Singapore due to the Government's ongoing projects such as the construction of MRT lines, infrastructure works for Changi Airport Terminal 5 and Tuas Port as well as other major road enhancement and drainage improvement works.
