  "account": "Singapore's Ministry of Home Affairs is planning a new driving circuit for the Home Team to replace the existing facility in Admiralty. The 16ha site, whose location will be revealed during the preliminary design stage, aims to meet the evolving training and operational needs of various Home Team departments. The circuit will feature open training spaces ranging from 20,000 sq m to 90,000 sq m, accommodating vehicles up to 48 tonnes and speeds of 130kmh. Medical transport vehicles, armoured vehicles, and Class 4 and 5 heavy vehicles will be included in the training. Additionally, the circuit will have a 1,600 sq m training area with staircases, kerbs, and simulator centres to teach tactical motorcycle-handling techniques. The final concept design is due by November 30, 2027.",
