A stake for everyone, opportunities for all and Leadership is key

Not everyone was in favor of the building of casinos.

Although the Casinos would bring economic prosperity to Singapore, the people thought that gambling itself is a social ill and would break families apart. Thus the government introduced a $100 entry fee into the casino for all Singaporeans to deter them from gambling

Hard-core gamblers would also be barred from the casinos as the government had introduced a policy to allow family members to black-list his this gambler’s name and ban him from the casino. Thus solving the people’s worries.

Anticipate change and stay relevant and leadership is key

Singapore has limited natural resources but abundant light energy as it is sunny all year round. Thus the government had decided to build this motion sensor fan to save electricity and make use of that abundant light energy. In addition, it also save costs.

Underground mrt vs wide open land space

Land Conservation

Leadership is key

Wide open field beside the integrated resorts

This allows tourists and people to use it as a recreational space for example flying kites or have a picnic while enjoying the scenery. However, this wastes a lot of space thus the government went on to build ‘’down’’. The field may seem like a waste of space but it actually serves to attract tourists and is aesthetically pleasing to the eye.

Singapore is a small country and has limited land space thus Mrt is built below this plot of land to conserve land and not to just waste that space for an open field.

Marina Barrage

Provides water supply, manage flood water

New lifestyle attraction-windsurfing kayaking

Marina Barrage Anticipate change and stay relevant

Singapore has limited water supply thus is dependent on Malaysia for a fresh supply of water.

However, the government is able to anticipate change and thus uses reservoirs to catch rainwater and send it to NEWater which produces desalinated and fresh water

Water is purified using high technology dual membrane and thus it ensures that we will be self sufficient after the water contract with Malaysia has ended.

Besides these, it also provides space for people and tourists to enjoy recreational activities.
