Singapore Spirit Will Help Carry Nation to Next Level

The new is about the Prime Minister of Singapore Lee Hsien Loong had a conference during his National Day Rally, he said that Singapore need the spirit of people to developed country to next level. He said that now Singapore is growth very fast in the high level because of Singaporean, and they need to maintain the spirit and passed to the next generation, so this wills made Singapore to growth in the future with no stopped.

For me, I think Singapore is rapidly developed. The main reason, they have the assistance together and unity of people in the country, these two things made Singapore become country without protest. When they have the government and unity of people in the country, everyone will agree with all rules. Singapore does everything that can make their country to go forward and to be a successful country in the world.

Changes to political system

Legislation was introduced in parliament yesterday to change political system. If it hasn’t problem, it should become law by next month. The legislation comes some 10 months after Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong announced his plan to provide for having a various point in Parliament. The changes cover the way for opposing in Parliament, by the use of an increase in the allowable number of Non-Constituency Members of Parliament (NCMPs); people who can’t vote and the entrenchment of the Nominated MP (NMP); people who can vote. Once using, non-ruling party MPs would fill at least 18 seats, or one-fifth of the House. The main changes such as cancel rule that do not campaign on the day before Polling Day, and allow to have advertise for campaigning To effect these changes, correction to the Constitution, the Parliamentary Elections Act (PEA) and the Presidential Elections Act were tabled - by Deputy Prime Minister Wong Kan Seng in the first case, and Law Minister K.Shanmugam in the second and third.3

Personally, this is interesting legislation. I think all members in parliament also agree with it. For the first change about cancel campaigning on the eve of Polling Day, They do the accurate one. The day before election is very important to campaign because they have to ensure to citizen that they will do their best. For the second change about allowing advertisement for campaigning, it is also main point because advertisement will show characteristic of individual person. These are significant because choosing the honest and intelligent leader is not easy. Nowadays, dishonest leader would make serious problem, if we choose the bad leader.

Home prices see fastest rise

private home prices in Singapore is increased at the fastest June 30, according to the latest weekly report by online property research house Global Property Guide. Now, Home prices increased 34 per cent – requiring the highest since 1995. This put the state well ahead of Hong Kong, in the No. 2 spot, with a 21.42 per cent jump. These numbers have been change because prices of goods are increased while prices of money are decreased. Mr. Matthew Montagu-Pollock, publisher of Global Property Guide, said: 'It's because of Singapore's amazing economic growth... Housing markets affect to economic growth because people are rich. They respond rates and they respond to momentum.' Global Property Guide shows the ranking using information from 36 countries and areas where was controlled - mostly official information that can be based on only housing type or a combination of housing types. In Singapore, the town was solved by using land efficiently, which covers only private homes. Industry sources were doubtful about the ranking, given that it does not compare the same property types, for instance.
In my opinion, after I read this news, I won’t wonder why this Singapore is the fastest developed country. Moreover, I think this is just the beginning, so it will be increased more and more soon. When home prices rise, standards of living a go up and the number of foreigners who want to visit was also increased. There are two reasons why price raise continuously. The first reason, foreigners want to invest their business, and most of their goods were brand name, and there is also high technology. So they need residents. The second reason, Government makes high-quality rule such as do not leave rubbish on the publish area and do not sale or buy a gums (This rule was issued in this year). These rules make country become livable tourism attraction. I have been there one time, and on street there was clean same as inside our home.

Starbucks re-opens after flood

This shop just opened 7am yesterday, after a two-month repairable time. The store was destroyed by a flood which floods it on June 16, and again on July 17. It is the second establishment in Liat Towers to re-open since the Orchard Road flood in June. Fast food restaurant Wendy's re-opened on July 30 because there was cleared up a $500,000. Their neighbor, clothes seller Massimo Dutti, remains shut, while the second and third floor of designer boutique Hermes has opened but not the ground floor. According to Hermes spokesman Joyce Ong, it hopes to re-open its first floor, which was damaged in the flood, by the end of November. Starbucks managing director Jeff Miller said the company has pass the loss in business with the end of the store but believes it is an investment that will be final 'help position us for useful growth'.

As you see, I had already summarized about flood in Singapore, so this is the consequence of the problem. Almost business who work about it, they have to open it for survival. They must agree with the fact, forgot the past and keep working.

A green city rich in heritage

The survey said many people begin to walk or ride bicycle in heritage areas. 300 people were surveyed about status of their life. Soon, there survey will include the Urban Redevelopment Authority's Concept Plan 2011 to construct the transportation ways. Every 10 years, they release and get back polls. The co-chairman of the sustainability said that the more people want, the more we provide for them.

This is the interesting news. The main reasons why Singapore is the best of tourism attraction are the green country and the clean country. Government legislate the policy about making a green country. People have to leave rubbish in a bin, especially cigarette. Despite of gum, you have to leave in the true way. If you leave in the ground, you will have to pay about 2000 bath for illegal performance. Moreover, they also plan to walk or ride bicycle in heritage areas.

Singapore flood risk alarms insurers

SINGAPORE - Insurers may have to increase prices for flood properties in Singapore because a flood caused the great waste and affect to luxury stores being wall with sandbags, a report said Friday. "Three floods within a one-month has never happen before in Singapore," General Insurance Association president Derek Teo told the Straits Times as businesses and homeowners in the city-state supported for more rains. The daily estimated that claims for damage to property and car since mid-June is more than 10 million Singapore dollars (7.28 million US). Among the flood areas under review is the fashionable Orchard Road shopping belt, home to some of Singapore's richest people. Some ground-floor establishment in the area and the Hermes luxury chain are now protected by sandbags. Teo, who could not be reached for comment on Friday, was mentioned that the damage resulting from heavy rains and a lot of water in drains "is of concern to insurers, and they are checking the situation closely".

For me, it is very difficult to solve this problem because both group their requirement. Sufferers want insurance for their waste while insurers find the way to escape the problem. In my opinion, members of government should participate to solve this problem. For example, making equal for both or distributing money. I have seen situation like this. About 5 years ago, there is Tsunami in Thailand. It is terrible wave. It killed many people and destroyed many home. For the aftereffect, It will be the problem between hotel owner and insurers.

The test of RNS

THE Republic of Singapore Navy's (RSN) was established to help drowning submarine. Now it is time of probation for assisting a submarine. This is the first time in a military exercise involving the navies of five countries. RSN is the first fully integrated vessel. There are many countries in South-east Asia, works in agreement with its rescue vehicle. We call it “the Deep Search and Rescue Six” (DSAR 6). It is in the treatment. Singapore cooperating with many countries consists of Australia, Japan, South Korea and the United States. Treatment of submarine personnel are complicated, and a medical conference to discuss the treatment of injuries which can occur during submarine accidents.

Personally, that’s the good idea. It indicates that Singapore is cautious in economic system. Thailand should join this group. The main reasons why vessel was built for helping submarine, submarine has several of advantages such as exploring a natural resource, learning history in ocean and reminding before earthquake. In Thailand, submarine is significant because they have to use it for checking vibration of earthquake.
