There is an increasing trend towards privatization ofinfrastructure construction to the private sector as thismay spread risks to a wider range of participants who

may be better euipped than governments to deal withthe risks.


24/25

;nfrastructure development 'hardware( combined withpublic administration development 'software( has been thekey to Singapore*s economic transformation.

;nfrastructure development must be based on long3termplanning based on

economically viable pro!ect and managed on commercial3based practices

At least in the initial stage, eiciency criterion should be

the primary guideline, rather than euity ob!ective The role and involvement of the private sector should be

encouraged as the private sector often sets the standard ofeiciency and benchmarking of uality and competitiveness

POLIC2 RECOMMENDATIONS


25/25

;nfrastructure development should be operated on theprinciple of transparency and accountability

Baster 5lan of infrastructure development should be

drafted on a long3term strategic ob!ective based onoverall planning, eiciency, competition, clustering andcost and bene+t analysis which includes economic ansocial development ob!ectives
