Green operation: Khoo Teck Puat Hospital

The Straits Times reports on KTPH’s greenery. One would’ve thought they’d get “a little bit of” Goodwood Park Hotel instead. :)

There is a little bit of Shangri-La Hotel in the new Khoo Teck Puat Hospital KTPH in Yishun.The luxury hotel near Orchard Road boasts lush gardens with ponds, a waterfall and plenty of plants in some of the rooms balconies. The hospital has similar green features.The gardens at the hotel are so lovely, I copied them for the hospital, says Mr Liak Teng Lit, chief executive of Alexandra Health group, which runs KTPH.A 550 sq m garden that was inspired by the hotels can be found in Basement One of the hospital where the operational support services are. Butterflies flit around it and a pair of birds has begun building a nest among the greens, too.
