I hope this information is not true. I also live in the East and I do not want to spend over an hour on the MRT going out to Jurong every weekend to practice.
It's also very sad for the shop because without the track, I'm sure the business will not be good. It's not a very convenient shop to go to even with the track there, but not many people will go there when the track is gone. If the track is closing, I hope they have plans to move the shop somewhere else.
Already there are not enough tracks in Singapore. How sad that one of the few in existence may have to close down.
Hope someone with firsthand information can post to verify or disprove this information and if it really is closing, give us the real reason. Hate to blame this doctor guy if it's not really his fault, right?
