Secretary for Development Michael Wong will visit Singapore between January 12 and 15 to learn about the country’s experience in urban planning and development as well as the adoption of innovative construction technologies.

Mr Wong will meet senior officials of the Building & Construction Authority, the Housing & Development Board and the Urban Redevelopment Authority.

He will also call on Coordinating Minister for Infrastructure and Minister for Transport Khaw Boon Wan, and hold a lunch meeting with Minister for National Development Lawrence Wong.

During his visit, Mr Wong will see building projects constructed with Modular Integrated Construction (MiC) modules to learn more about Singapore's experience in promoting the adoption of this innovative construction method, as well as the achievement of employing this method in uplifting the construction industry's overall performance.

He will also visit off-site yards to gain a better understanding of the workflow and process of assembling free-standing integrated MiC modules.
