One-North Eden 85% Sold During Launch Weekend
Group Corporate Affairs For Immediate Release One-North Eden 85% Sold During Launch Weekend Singapore, 25 April 2021 – As at 6pm today, One-North Eden saw 140 units (or nearly 85%) of the project’s 165 units snapped up during its virtual launch weekend, April 24 and 25. Developed by TID Pte Ltd, One-North Eden is the first residential launch in the one-north hub in 14 years. Take-up rate was strong across all unit types with the selling price working out to about S$1,800 to S$2,250 per square foot (psf). One-bedroom plus study and two-bedroom units proved the most popular and were quickly sold out at 10am on the first day of launch. Unit sizes range from 517 square feet (sq ft) for a one-bedroom with study to 1,410 sq ft for the largest four-bedroom premium unit. More than 80% of the buyers are Singaporeans while the remaining 20% comprise Permanent Residents and foreigners from the United Kingdom, China, Malaysia, France, India and the United States. Mr Yoichi Kaga, Managing Director of TID Pte. Ltd said, “The good response is an indication of the pent-up demand in one-north due to limited private residential options in this high-growth area. Many homebuyers are drawn to One-North Eden’s strategic location and enjoy the convenience of living near their workplace, while several families are attracted to the prime local and international schools located within 1km of the project.” Mr Kaga added, “Based on overall feedback, our buyers were impressed with the project’s spacious lobby, and particularly the size and functionality of our units as most of them accommodated extra space for a study room, one of the project’s most attractive selling points. -

One Party Dominance Survival: the Case of Singapore and Taiwan
One Party Dominance Survival: The Case of Singapore and Taiwan DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Lan Hu Graduate Program in Political Science The Ohio State University 2011 Dissertation Committee: Professor R. William Liddle Professor Jeremy Wallace Professor Marcus Kurtz Copyrighted by Lan Hu 2011 Abstract Can a one-party-dominant authoritarian regime survive in a modernized society? Why is it that some survive while others fail? Singapore and Taiwan provide comparable cases to partially explain this puzzle. Both countries share many similar cultural and developmental backgrounds. One-party dominance in Taiwan failed in the 1980s when Taiwan became modern. But in Singapore, the one-party regime survived the opposition’s challenges in the 1960s and has remained stable since then. There are few comparative studies of these two countries. Through empirical studies of the two cases, I conclude that regime structure, i.e., clientelistic versus professional structure, affects the chances of authoritarian survival after the society becomes modern. This conclusion is derived from a two-country comparative study. Further research is necessary to test if the same conclusion can be applied to other cases. This research contributes to the understanding of one-party-dominant regimes in modernizing societies. ii Dedication Dedicated to the Lord, Jesus Christ. “Counsel and sound judgment are mine; I have insight, I have power. By Me kings reign and rulers issue decrees that are just; by Me princes govern, and nobles—all who rule on earth.” Proverbs 8:14-16 iii Acknowledgments I thank my committee members Professor R. -

The idea for a national garden was planted in 1822 when Sir Stamford Raffles, the founder of modern Singapore, developed the first Botanical and Experimental Garden at Fort Canning. In 1859, the Singapore Botanic Gardens was established at the Tanglin site and in the 160 years past, it has flourished from a pleasure garden for the colonial community to a place cherished by all Singaporeans, a botanical institution known internationally. Singapore’s greening journey took root in the 1960s when founding Prime Minister, Mr Lee Kuan Yew planted a Mempat Tree at Farrer Circus. This kickstarted a national effort for tree planting, sowing the seed of a green home where beautiful parks and green belts would be the birthright of every Singaporean. Today, the intricate lattice of greenery we have woven into the cityscape supports thriving biodiversity and provides residents with a quality living environment. This not only draws the appreciation and marvel of visitors, but has become a part of our national identity. -
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.

Interview with Kong Yit San
INTERVIEWS 54 A Walk through the Years in Singapore's Parks: Interview with Kong Yit San A Walk through the Years in Singapore’s Parks Interview with Kong Yit San Text by Ho Rui An Photography by Jeremy San RIGHT & opposite Tampines Eco Green. CITYGREEN #3 A Centre for Urban Greenery and Ecology Publication 55 CG: What were some of the challenges you experienced in the early days? KYS: In the 80s, we were so concerned about efficiency than design. What was important then was how well and how fast you can grow the plant and how cheap it was to grow and maintain. For streetscape planting, we had used fast-growing, easy-to-grow trees that required the least mainte- nance. But today, we know that we cannot just grow trees in such a regimental way and hope that they will all grow at the same pace and assume the same form. Nature doesn’t work that way. Back then, we had a lack of experience and knowl- edge in the materials we were using. We were introducing trees from forest environment, such as those in Malaysia, but we didn’t know too well how a tree introduced from a forest would grow in an urban environment. As a result, we experienced some problems like cracked pavements, uplifted drains and damages done to our infrastructure caused by these trees with highly aggressive root systems. Mr Kong Yit San has been with the National Park Boards (NParks) for more than 30 years, beginning At that time, being a young Garden City, we from the days when Singapore was still an aspiring “Garden City.” He was previously the Director of wanted to try out different kinds of plant the Parks Division before assuming his current position as Assistant Chief Executive Officer, Park species. -

News Release Koh Brothers Group Awarded Pub Project for Geylang River Makeover
NEWS RELEASE KOH BROTHERS GROUP AWARDED PUB PROJECT FOR GEYLANG RIVER MAKEOVER - Submitted winning bid of S$37.78 million for river project, running from Dunman Road to Guillemard Road Singapore, November 22, 2010 – Koh Brothers Group Limited (“Koh Brothers” or the “Group”), a well-established construction, property development and specialist engineering solutions provider, successfully emerged as the top bidder for national water agency PUB’s Geylang River project, which begins from Dunman Road, flowing to Guillemard Road. This project is part of PUB’s Active, Beautiful, Clean Waters (“ABC Waters”) Programme, which transforms Singapore’s reservoirs and waterways into beautiful and clean streams, rivers and lakes, teeming with vibrancy. This multi-faceted project entails construction of an estimated 830-metre-long by 26-metre-wide drain, reconstruction of two 3-cell box culverts and the construction of ABC Waters design features, which will help cleanse rainwater runoff. In addition, landscaping and other amenities will enhance the Geylang River bank, creating more spaces for the community to enjoy. The widening of the drain will also help improve the drainage of area, and is part of PUB’s long-term flood alleviation programme. Koh Brothers started in the 1970s, specialising in flood alleviation and drainage projects, counting Rochor Canal, Sungei Ulu, Bukit Timah and Kallang River as milestone projects on its track record.
