Long Island

You cannot buy Long Island. You already own what it moves.

Eight hundred hectares of new land are proposed off Singapore's East Coast. Almost everything written about it comes from a two-page media release.

This book comes from the documents behind it - a 557-page environmental study, a statute passed in 2026, a code of practice, and a line in a planning timetable from 1991.

It does not forecast what Long Island will be worth. Nobody knows, and the agencies building it say so in their own publications. What it does is set out the record - who said what, on what date, in which document - and then teach you to read land in Singapore for yourself.

That method survives every outcome. If the reclamation is delayed a decade, redesigned, or quietly dropped, it still works on any address in this country.

What you can check

• Every claim about Long Island is traced to a dated document - Appendix A, one line each.
• The primary sources are public and free: the statute, the Code, the Environmental Study, the Master Plan, Hansard.
• Six corrections are printed where the error was made, not quietly fixed in the next printing.
