The Infinite World

High population growth is still an issue in many parts of the world, and subsequently bring about other related issues such as water population, hygiene, shortage of food, deforestation, crime and many others. One of the main issue is housing millions of people in proper housing with adequate water, food and giving them a job. Historically, people are attracted to big population area with jobs to offer, and this start off leaving rural areas sparsely populated, but causing cities to be jammed packed with millions. This in turn caused a housing issue, many high rise buildings need to be built to house these people. High density housing becomes the norm and all sorts of social issues start to emerge, which is prevalent in our modern society. So economic growth at what "cost" ? Human created all these self inflicted problems and can blame no one. We need to find balance even when want economic growth and try to pre-empt and eliminate such p...

SG Citizens, before you throw anything on the ground, before you leave the table after your meal at the food centre, try to clean up, or when you take a bus, do not put your feet up on the seat opposite you. If every individual do their part on keeping the environment clean, SG will be a really clean country and not a cleaned country. Teach your children the same principle as well, let them grow up with a good grounding on keeping the environment clean. Most people in SG just do not care once they get out of their house. You should not litter and keep the surrounding environment clean. I am quite sure majority of the people do not litter at home and will clean up after they eat at home. Do the same when you are out in the public as well. Everything about SG is first class in most peoples' eyes, especially foreigners. But we local know the fact that it's only the physical environment, we still have a long way in terms of developing the individual. 

Singapore National Parks Board has done a great job building up all the park connectors in Singapore. Hopefully, in the next phase of upgrading the park connectors, the pathway could be built of bitumen instead of concrete pathway. I just ran through the connector from Lentor Ave to Upper Thomson Road, which is very nice but it was solid concrete. The only place that one can truly run without crossing a road is East Coast Park (ECP), the only traffic light that you need to cross (starting from Ford Road) is the one at the Tanah Merah Coast Road before you hit Changi Coastal Road. Other than ECP, the rest are just too short in distance and too many traffic disruptions along the way.

People in Singapore just need to remember one very basic rule, "do not throw anything on the ground when you step out of your own house" ! If do not do throw litter on the floor at home, do not do this when you get out of your own house as well ! If everyone can learn this basic rule, we will really be a very clean city !

People would have thought that Singapore is a very clean City, but the habits of the people are astonishing ! Even people living in privately managed property litter! There is this guy who live in my estate who just throw glowing cigarette butts out of his window every day ! I am thinking of ways to make him stop this incredible habits, as the condo management said they can only issue warning letters !

Singapore is a very small country in terms of land area, approximately 722 square kilometres, with a population of about 5.3 mllion people. Most of its citizens live in high rise public apartments blocks built by the government agency named Housing Development Board. The land in Singapore is expensive and the apartments are expensive. Food and transport charges are reasonable, the system is efficient and getting around the island is easy. It's a young country and it takes time to develop the human resources, education need to be improved to train its population. Training people to think is a difficult task, human nature tend not to be rational when distracted. Too many distraction in our so called high tech world, people get so attracted to these things which waste a great deal of our limited time in this world.
