Make Every Drop Count Saving Water Starts with Me Make every drop count Saving water starts with me. Pledge to save water at Singapore World Water Day 2018 Singapore, 1 March 2018: Households and individuals continue to be PUB’s focus at this year’s Singapore’s World Water Day (SWWD), as we encourage one and all to adopt water- saving habits and make water conservation a way of life. The annual month-long campaign, dedicated to celebrate water, appreciate water and raise awareness on water conservation kicks off this Saturday, 3 March at the Marina Barrage. President Halimah Yacob will join more than 4,000 participants from more than 30 organisations and educational institutions in taking the “I Save” pledge – declaring to save water and fight climate action today. Five Water-Saving Tips Saving water is easy and can start small – from our daily habits at home. PUB’s household water consumption study, conducted from 2016-2017, showed that the top water usage areas are Shower, Flushing, Kitchen and Laundry. This accounts for about three quarters of a household’s total water use. If individuals make small changes in their daily habits, they can reduce the overall water consumption in the household. Besides using more water-efficient fittings and appliances, they can practise these five water-saving tips, namely: Take shorter showers Use half-flush when possible Wash vegetables and dishes in a container Wash clothes on a full load Use a mug when brushing teeth “Singapore World Water Day is a key public outreach campaign by PUB in the month of March. Over the years, we are encouraged to see partners, old and new, coming forward to support us in the water cause and influencing their friends and families to save water. Every effort counts. Let’s make water conservation a way of life in Singapore,” Mr Ng Joo Hee, Chief Executive, PUB. “I Save” Pledge Programme Gaining awareness on saving water is only one part of the equation, pledging to do so is the next step forward. Community partners as SWWD’s Water Conservation Ambassadors will reach out to residents either door-to-door or at Singapore World Water Day roadshows to encourage the community to take up the “I Save” Pledge, adopt the five water-saving tips and reduce their water consumption. Outreach by the Community for the Community Public Roadshows More than 45 Singapore World Water Day roadshows will take place island-wide throughout the month of March to encourage the community to pledge to save water. These roadshows venues are provided by community partners including Singapore Sports Hub, AsiaMalls Management Pte Ltd and Our Tampines Hub. They will also be manned by community volunteers, which include Team Nila volunteers, a national movement that promotes the culture of giving back, citizen participation, capacity building and social cohesion and integration through sport volunteerism. More than 100 volunteers will be sharing the 5 Water Saving Tips with the community. Starting from young Nurture Education Group, which carries three preschool brands: Little Footprints Preschool, Kiddiwinkie Schoolhouse and Pibo's Garden Playschool, has 25 centres that will participate and embark on the ‘I Save’ pledge. In addition to this, the ‘Little Footprints’ chain of preschools will also conduct a project titled ‘Be A Bucket Filler’. Over a period of 4 months (March to June), every child in Kindergarten 1 and Kindergarten 2, together with their families, will take turns to contribute their entries, photographs and drawings to the `Be A Bucket Filler' journal, sponsored by Henkel Singapore Pte Ltd. Parents are encouraged to engage their children in discussions and share their weekend conservation efforts. As Little Footprints’ curriculum team says, “We want to raise Sustainability advocates who exhibit our core values- 'caring' and `reflective' with regards to the earth and environment. We want children to know that their voices, ideas and thoughts are important and can make a vast difference in conserving water, natural resources and energy!” From the Ground Up Another water conservation ambassador is the Geylang Serai GROs, who is targeting to visit 1,000 households and three hawker centres in their ward to spread the water conservation message. A community carnival will also be held on 11 March. 2 NSMen and families save water SAFRA, with 6 clubs islandwide and over 600,000 members, is supporting the water cause again this year. NSmen and families can pledge to save water and practise the five water- saving tips in exchange for a token at the roving Singapore World Water Day roadshows, which will be held at all SAFRA clubs from 5 March to 1 April. Other Key SWWD Highlights Partners continue to take the lead to drive SWWD, coming up with innovative programmes and initiatives to encourage water-saving habits among the community. This year’s campaign features a myriad of events and activities spread out across all parts of the island, including roadshows at malls, libraries and community touch points, and grassroots events. Water Rationing Exercises Since 2016, PUB has conducted water rationing exercises at schools as part of SWWD celebrations, to reinforce the value of water among our young. During this exercise, students get a first-hand experience of the inconvenience faced when water is not readily available at a turn of the tap, and in turn, better understand the value of water and learn to save water. This year, a bumper crop of schools such as NUS Ridge View Residential College, Jurong Junior College, Temasek Polytechnic, Juying Secondary School, Kuo Chuan Presbyterian Primary School and preschools under Crestar Education Group will be conducting water rationing exercises. "In Juying Secondary School, we place a lot of emphasis on cultivating a sense of gratitude and being thankful for all the things that we have, big or small. In this instance, having clean water running from the tap each time we turn it on is not something to be taken for granted, and this is what we hope to see in every JYian - 饮水思源," Mdm Soh Beng Mui, Principal of Juying Secondary School. Save through promo codes In conjunction with SWWD, Deliveroo, Foodpanda, Redmart, Mobike and oBike are for the first time, running promotions that rewards customers with rebates when they quote the respective promo codes in their orders/bookings. All the promo codes feature simple water tips or messages related to water conservation.

As a book distribution partner of “A Water Wally Adventure: The Surprise Visitor”, we can help spread the message of prudent water usage to families with young children through the books giveaway initiative in our restaurants,” Ms Linda Ming, Director, Brand Communications & Customer Care, McDonald’s Singapore. Ben & Jerry’s is holding an in-store promotion from 22 to 25 March 2018 at three of their outlets (VivoCity , 313@Somerset and Dempsey) where patrons can redeem 1 free scoop of ice cream1 and a PUB token if they present their latest water bill showing a reduction in water usage. 1 Limited to first 50 redemptions per store. 4 SWWD-theme merchandise NETS FlashPay card To get commuters to carry the Water Conservation message on the go, PUB has collaborated with NETS to produce a specially- designed NETS FlashPay card that can be used for transactions on public transport, retail and F&B, and motoring-related charges. SMRT will be selling these cards at their ticket offices from 3 March 2018. SWWD-theme trains In collaboration with LTA and SBS Transit, commuters travelling on the North East Line and Downtown Line can journey with two SWWD-themed trains in the month of March. Each train cabin will resemble a “home” with simple tips that residents can adopt to use less water and make saving water a way of life. The co-creation of themed trains, together with community partners and public agencies, is part of LTA’s efforts to improve commuting experience and foster a positive commuter culture. Beyond themed trains, SBS Transit is also supporting SWWD with SWWD bus hangers in 200 buses in March. These hangers serve as pledge-cards which the public can bring along to any Singapore World Water Day roadshows to take part in the “I Save” Pledge, adopt the five water-saving tips and reduce their water consumption. City turns Blue As a commitment towards water sustainability and support for water conservation, iconic landmarks in the city will light up in blue as night sky falls on World Water Day (22 Mar) from 7pm. Visitors to Esplanade, Theatres on the Bay, Singapore Flyer, Gardens by the Bay, Orchard Gateway, Republic Plaza, Resorts World Sentosa and Millenia Tower will revel in a spectacular visual experience, while taking home a more important message to cherish and conserve water.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • MRT) System, with 42 Stations and Costing S$5 Billion, Was Fully Completed in July 1990, Within Budget and Schedule
    1 Annex A Singapore's First Mass Rapid Transit System The North-South and East-West Lines of the Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) System, with 42 stations and costing S$5 billion, was fully completed in July 1990, within budget and schedule. The engineering work was massive and complex. Over the course of the project, Singapore engineers acquired the necessary skills and knowledge to develop other MRT lines. It was re-known as the world’s first metro system with Platform Screen Doors that save on energy. Today the MRT system carries about 2 million passengers per day. It serves the densely populated towns and brings the commuters directly into high employment centres and the CBD. It also serves the three regional centres. By providing good accessibility, it supports the economic growth and enhances the social well-being of Singapore residents. It has enabled dense urban development in land-scarce Singapore. The MRT was a major milestone in the transformation of Singapore into a modern metropolis. Driverless Mass Rapid System (North East Line) The North East Line (NEL) is the world’s first fully automated underground driverless heavy rail rapid transit line, consisting of 16 stations and stretching 20km from Punggol to HarbourFront. NEL was conceptualised as a fully automated railway with high level of system integration. At that time, new cutting edge technologies for the signalling, communication, rolling stock and integrated supervisory control systems were employed, such as microwave signalling transmission, digital trunk radio, Communication Backbone Network, in-car CCTV monitoring and fully integrated control system. One technology critical in driverless trains is the Automatic Train Operation System, which performs functions previously handled by the train driver.

This very area we are gathered on was once the site of an old shipyard amid the polluted Geylang River, reminiscent of pre-independence Singapore. 2 But through the combined effort of several government ministries and agencies, working in partnership with the private sector, this same spot is very different today. Indeed, it is a far cry from what it was only six years ago. The shoreline has been reclaimed, the water is cleaner and the stretch of riverside beautifully landscaped. The whole Tanjong Rhu area has been transformed into a quality waterfront residential enclave through the dedicated planning and co-ordination of various government departments.

SDBA would therefore like to remind the dragon boat community to please check the weather status and condition before and/or during paddling sessions. Please note that Cat 1 weather, either refers to heavy rain and or lightning strikes (which can also occur without any rainfall). In May 2019, seven (7) teams were found to have been carrying-on their training sessions and/or still on the water after Cat 1 were activated. These teams were handed penalties/reprimands ranging from Written Warnings and up to 4 weeks suspension. All Teams must therefore observe the no water activity during Cat 1 activation requirement. Lightning Warning System beacons The most visible indication of Cat 1 activation would be the Lightning Warning System (LWS) beacons installed at: a. Kallang Water Sports Centre (KWSC) b. Dragon Boat Nursery. These two (2) LWS are synched with NEA’s weather warning system. Teams are required to check and verify that both beacons are not activated before they start their paddling session. The understanding is for Teams to comply with the LWS at where they launched from. 1. Before Departure from Beach Before departing Kallang Riverside Park Beach (also known as Nursery Beach), please check the LWS@Nursery by sending a crew member to sight the LWS beacon inside the Dragon Boat Nursery. 2.
