Marina East (GPS: 1.29127, 103.8709) is a 140-hectare piece of reclaimed land in Singapore. Originally part of the New Downtown, it was eventually developed into a separate planning area.
Marina East extends south from the headland called Tanjong Rhu. The East Coast Parkway separates it from the rest of Tanjong Rhu. A major infrastructure development in this area is a new expressway, the Marina Coastal Expressway (MCE), which will pass through Marina East to connect with Marina South and Straits View, via an undersea tunnel to the south of Marina Barrage.
Apart from the expressway, much of Marina East is occupied by the NTUC Club golf course. This is talk that when the lease on the golf course expires, the land will be used to develop a Disney theme park. At time of writing (August 2012), nothing much has materialized.
Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.
While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
