SINGAPORE: The cost of developing the Founders' Memorial, which is slated to open in end-2028, is estimated at S$335 million (US$256 million), said Minister for Culture, Community and Youth Edwin Tong on Monday (Sep 9).

In a written reply to a parliamentary question from Member of Parliament Louis Chua (WP-Sengkang) who asked about the expected total costs to develop the memorial and its annual operating costs once built, Mr Tong said the estimated development cost is "based on current outlook and projections".

"The estimated cost includes building construction and fit-out costs for exhibition galleries, viewing gallery and outdoor amphitheatre, education and family spaces and amenities, and a 5-hectare outdoor public garden," he added.
