  • Clifford Pier - a Gateway to New Life
    Page 1 CLIFFORD PIER - A GATEWAY TO NEW LIFE Taken from an article written by Kelvin Ang for ‘Skyline’, URA’s corporate magazine Before the age of affordable mass air travel, travellers to Singapore would have arrived by sea, on a luxury steamer if one was fortunate and wealthy enough. The majority of the rest – men and women in search of their fortunes would have entered the Singapore harbour in more humble vessels. Sometime in the late 1930s…every seafarer would see, as the ships drew closer to the Lion City, the skyline would gradually rise up from the watery horizon. Perhaps initially as a hazy mirage before eventually becoming clearer, with the grand, grey landmarks lining up along the various quays, becoming more solid in the brilliant tropical sun that shines down over the Equator. Scanning hopefully from the deck of the ship, a traveller would have seen his future anchored on one end by the Fullerton Building, possibly the grandest post office in the Far East. If the traveller had arrived on a fast steamer in the late 1950s, his attention would also be caught by the skyscraping Art-Deco style Asia Insurance Building that terminated the western end of the vista with its shiny silver crown. Or perhaps he is arriving at dusk, and as the flaming sunsets that this island is known for turns into velvety night, his eyes would be drawn ahead to a set of red lights marking the location of Singapore’s Clifford Pier. This is where all the smaller lighter boats seem to gather around, discharging passengers and their luggage that they have picked up from the larger ships.

Along with this, it also has one of the world's lowest crime rates. As English is the dominant one of its four official languages,, it is generally easier for tourists to understand when speaking to the local population of the country, for example, when shopping.. Transport in Singaporeexhaustively covers most, if not all public venues in Singapore, which increases convenience for tourists. This includes the well-known Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) system. The Orchard Road district, which is dominated by multi-story shopping centres and hotels, can considered the center of tourism in Singapore. Other popular tourist attractions include the Singapore Zoo and Night Safari, which allows people to explore Asian, African and American habitats at night without any visible barriers between guests and the wild animals. The Singapore Zoo has embraced the 'open zoo' concept whereby animals are kept in enclosures, separated from visitors by hidden dry or wet moats, instead of caging the animals. Jurong Bird Park isis another zoological garden centred around birds, which is dedicated towards exposing the public to as much species and varieties of birds from around the world as possible, including a flock of one thousand flamingos.

  • 1 Coastal Protection
    Notes for GE4211 Field Trip to Marina Barrage (2 Apr ‘18) Denitza Voutchkova 1 COASTAL PROTECTION Coastal protection is one of the priorities in dealing with climate change effects in Singapore (the other is “improving drainage”). Minimum land reclamation level in Singapore was raised from 3 to 4 m above mean sea level in 2011 to address the projected sea level raise under the 2nd Climate change study. Defense from erosion: 70-80% of Singapore’s coastline: either walls or stone embankment 30-20% is “natural”, e.g. sandy beaches and mangroves Developing appropriate coastal measures coastal engineering, wave dynamics, coastal morphology, and hydrodynamics. Figure 1 2011 distribution of seawalls (in orange) around Singapore (source: Lai et al 2015, uploaded to IVLE, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ocecoaman.2014.11.006) Building and Construction Authority (BCA) has commissioned a study that will form the national framework for coastal protection measures (the Straits Times, Jan 5, 2018). The study started in 2013 and was initially planned to be completed by the end of 2017, but has been pushed back to the 2nd half of 2018. The reason for this delay was because “more time is needed to consider fresh input and to engage stakeholders, so coastal protection strategies will complement development plans” (the Straits Times, see link below). The study is undertaken by Surbana International Consultants & DHI Water and Environment.

  • IN SEARCH of a NEW HOME First Quarter 2019
    IN SEARCH OF A NEW HOME First Quarter 2019 Singapore's very own floating F&B and lifestyle venue Executive Foreword Back in 1998, my dad bought a boat, and it changed our family's lives forever. Most men who develop a desire to own a boat in their mid-life would simply buy a small yacht or a fishing boat. But my dad was different - he had to buy a Mississippi riverboat; one that had no engine, and was fitted out as a floating restaurant by its previous owners. With that purchase, our family started learning the ropes of the F&B trade. We operated the Riverboat at Sentosa for a wonderful five years, and later at Marina South Pier. Over the years, we grew to love the industry. The long hours, the irregular meals, the manpower challenges, the stiff competition... all became part and parcel of our lives. I was just a child when all that began, and as I came of age, I gradually took over the reins of the business from my dad. In 2015, upon being commissioned as CEO, I led the team on an improvement project aptly titled 'Operation Level-Up', which transformed the Riverboat from a simple floating restaurant to a vibrant floating lifestyle venue with a year-round calendar of public events such as wine fairs, music festivals, networking nights, dinner theatre, family days, product showcases and many more. Exciting times indeed! However, come March 2019, the lease on the Riverboat's berthing space at Marina South Pier is due to expire, and we will need to find her a new home to allow the story to continue to unfold.
