Visit to Batam

Mr Tan Kin Lian will be visiting the Indonesian Island of Batam to meet Singaporeans and to conduct interviews with the local media there.


The island is popular with many heartlanders and PMETs as it is nearby and it is also relatively inexpensive to take a break there. He will also take the opportunity to view the progress of developments there as there are many Singapore investments in Singapore.


Many residents of Batam also have ties to Singapore and follow developments in Singapore with interest. He hopes the interviews will give him an opportunity to extend greetings, on behalf of Singaporeans, to the people of Batam as Indonesia will be celebrating its Independence Day soon.


Said Mr Tan: "I have visited Batam many times over the years. I am impressed by the developments and progress taking place. Each time I go there, I see more projects taking off. This is good as it means there are more jobs. I also find the people here very friendly and helpful. I wish the people of Batam a peaceful and prosperous future. I also hope that the good relations between our two countries will continue so that we can visit each other more often."
