SAFRA clubhouse launched in Punggol

A new waterfront destination is rising.

National Servicemen can now look forward to a new venue for some quality rest and recreation, as the groundbreaking ceremonies for SAFRA’s Punggol clubhouse were held today.

The SAFRA clubhouse is a 5-storey development set to open in 2016, and will cater exclusively to NSmen and their families.

“The new 5-storey SAFRA Punggol club will complement and add to the waterfront facilities in Punggol. Integrated with the Punggol Waterway Park, the club will feature many open spaces and offer a wide variety of lifestyle and entertainment options for NSmen and their families to enjoy. When the new Punggol Regional Sports Centre is ready, SAFRA members will also enjoy direct access to its swimming pool and a variety of sports facilities,” stated Deputy Prime Minister Teo Chee Han in his groundbreaking ceremony speech.

Here’s more from DPM Teo:

Punggol is a growing new town, with some 150,000 residents by next year. Among them will be many NSmen and many young families. We want to serve our NSmen and the needs of their families.

When SAFRA Punggol opens in early 2016, it will be easily accessible to the more than 70,000 NSmen who live in the North-eastern part of Singapore – a significant proportion of the total number of our 330,000 NSmen who can all have greater choices with this new club.

Punggol is the most exciting new development in Singapore, with water as a unifying theme – the Punggol Waterway, Sungei Serangoon, Sungei Punggol and the sea. We want our NSmen and their families to enjoy the refreshing and uplifting environment here.
