The local sports scene finally scores big when the much awaited signing between Singapore Sports Council (SSC) and the Singapore Sports Hub Consortium (SSHC) was finally sealed.
Mr Oon Jin Teik, Chief Executive Officer of the Singapore Sports Council met Ludwig Reichhold, Managing Director of Dragages Singapore, on 26th August to finalize the S$1.33 billion deal, that will see the new Sports Hub ready by April 2014.
The deal initially was put off by two years due to the financial crisis of 2007.
Now finally the old Kallang Stadium will be demolished starting next month, and the construction begins.
