Firstly, land reclamation requires a large amount of sand which is not available in Singapore. Thus, our supply of sand usually come from some off-shore islands of Indonesia. However, Indonesia has just banned the export of sand to Singapore because our demand for sand has damaged their environment due to excessive digging into the ground for sand.
Secondly, territorial boundaries of Malaysia and Indonesia can be threatened if we keep increasing the land size of Singapore by land reclamation towards these countries.
Thirdly, we are unable to reclaim too far out into the Eastern side of Singapore (e.g. Changi) because the reclaimed land will be constructed too far out into the open sea. It will be subjected to the destructive forces of waves and even natural disasters such as Tsunami.
