Singapore, Johor Regent agree to land swap at Holland Road [BTTV]
SINGAPORE: The Singapore government and the Regent of Johor, Tunku Mahkota Ismail Sultan Ibrahim, have agreed to undertake a land swap at Holland Road, here. In a joint statement, the Singapore Land Authority (SLA) and Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) said Tunku Mahkota Ismail will transfer 13 hectares of his land in the area, closer to the Singapore Botanic Gardens Unesco World Heritage Site, to the Singapore government. In exchange, the Singapore government will transfer 8.5ha of state land to Tunku Mahkota Ismail. "The land parcels to be swapped are of comparable value," the joint statement stated. Tunku Mahkota Ismail currently owns 21.1ha of land at Holland Road, which has been under the private ownership of the Johor royal family for generations. The SLA and URA stated that Tunku Mahkota Ismail plans to develop his land. Both parties agreed to the swap so that the planned developments would be located further away from the Unesco World Heritage Site. "The Regent of Johor may develop his land after the swap, which is suitable for low-rise and low-density residential uses," the statement said. The SLA and URA added that any development plans will be subject to due process. "URA and agencies will assess development applications and ensure that the proposed development is sensitive to the surrounding site context," the statement said. Prior to the commencement of any works, the development will be subject to environmental studies to mitigate any potential impact on the environment. The Singapore government will keep the land which it will receive from Tunku Mahkota Ismail undeveloped for now. However, it is keeping its future plans for the area open.

TMJ urges all parties to rally around national football team
JOHOR Regent, Tunku Mahkota Ismail Sultan Ibrahim has urged all parties to rally around and give their positive and constructive support to the national football team. Tunku Mahkota Ismail, who owns football club Johor Darul Ta'zim (JDT), explained that public support was vital as developing the Harimau Malaya squad required time and effort that would allow them to achieve success. 'These people (local coaches who) have experience in Malaysian football share (their experience) with foreign expertise, meaning it's a joint collaboration of ideas and knowledge. 'So that's what's happening right now. For me, if we really love local football, if we really want to see it develop with improvements and progress, we need to give it time, support and space for them to carry out their duties,' he told reporters at a hotel here today. Tunku Mahkota Ismail was commenting on local footballing legend Datuk Santokh Singh's statement that the Harimau Malaya revolution was devoid of identity and questions posed about the role of local coaches and the over-dependence on naturalised and heritage players that seemingly set aside local talent. The Regent said that the use of naturalised and heritage players should not be an issue as dedication and ability to perform were the important things to consider. 'For me, if you ask for my personal view, I don't care where he comes from, what colour his skin is, as long as he has Malaysian blood and is linked to the country, and he gives his all to the team, (that's most important),' His Royal Highness said, adding that there was a push by certain parties desiring to target him by playing up narratives and sentiments linked to the national team. 'I feel if we look at the last month or so, it's clear there are some who don't like seeing this (effort to strengthen the national team succeed) and I am their main target. 'So to attack me directly is impossible, certain parties have to attack JDT, the league, they have to play up narratives and sentiments about the national team, but actually (the target) is me,' the Regent said. His Royal Highness stressed that he would carry on his efforts in the local sports scene, and advised all parties not to blame other entities, including the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) and JDT, over the withdrawal of several teams from the Super League next season. 'Every state has their leaders and important people who can contribute or plan, plans on how to improve their own club, what have they been doing till now? 'I will always work and continue what I've done, which is to improve JDT and focus more on progress, I will be here, for JDT and support whatever can be done for the national team,' the Regent said.
