Cyber Security threats pose a significant challenge to public and private sector organizations. MHA has decided to occupy a new development planned to be built by a private developer in the Marina Bay area.
The Architect has developed a schematic plan showing two 20-story Towers sharing a 4-level basement car park directly beneath the 2 Tower blocks.
Tower I will house the MHA Cyber Security Centre and a Convention cum Exhibition Centre at the 1st to 3rd story level.
The Convention Centre will be able to accommodate up to 500 occupants at any one time and has a gross exhibition floor space of 2000m2. The Convention & Exhibition Centre will host international cyber security events and be leased out to private organizations when MHA does not use it. The Convention & Exhibition Centre will have a strong room to safely keep sensitive and expensive computer equipment and storage devices.
Tower 2 will house Retail Space, Commercial Offices, and a High-end Restaurant in the two uppermost stories. The developer wants visitors to the High-end Restaurant to have unimpeded access to enable it to operate a viable commercial venture and not be just limited to the occupants of the
Offices.
The proposed new Development schematic plan is attached as an Appendix to this Annex.
MHA has informed the developer that this Development falls under the Infrastructure Protection Act as a Special Development.
Special Developments must incorporate appropriate security measures to protect against high-level threats in the design phase.
As MHA will review the plans, the developer has engaged you and your team to prepare a comprehensive security plan.
