Speaking at Parliament’s Committee on National Development and Heritage upon being summoned, Minister Aslam revealed that the government intends to complete all land reclamation projects at once instead of carrying them out as separate projects

While development projects have been spanned out under a plan, Aslam said that it will only begin once all the required land reclamation projects are completed.
