Thank you for remembering me and my blog...Xianlong,<br />Thank you for remembering me and my blog. I'm merely taking a break. Yes you just said it. No one wants a loose cannon around in the organisation. We are still very conversative and backwards on transparency. They just love to cover up things for fear of backlash. I read your blog. It's good. Keep it up. Cheers.

U no longer allow comments on your ...Hi Gintai,<br /> U no longer allow comments on your blog. Other than the chat session with the minister, i wonder if pressures from people at your workplace took a toll & closure of your blog.<br /><br /> Superiors & higher management people might be envious & thus make things difficult. <br /><br /> Though u & i are not anonymous on the internet i still support internet anonymity. Just use it for good like spiderman.<br /><br />--------------------------<br />Andrew Garfield compared his Spider-Man façade as a metaphor for internet anonymity, saying, "You feel the power of it, the power of not being seen, the power of the mask. Peter becomes witty when he's got that protective layer. It's like he's on a message board. He's got the anonymity of the Internet within that suit, and he can say whatever the hell he likes, and he can get away with anything."<br />--------------------------<br /><br /> PAP has a big headache with the spidermans out there.Xianlonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18126812922321444916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5452590323401882895.post-31694219509049325852012-10-07T16:36:16.022-07:002012-10-07T16:36:16.022-07:00Hi Gintai,

Thanks for visiting and your comment.
...Hi Gintai,<br /><br />Thanks for visiting and your comment.<br /><br />In theory, the Newater and the Marina Barrage Water park are needed to support Singapore's water security.<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-0l7XeoMCM<br /><br />IMHO, Singapore needs to do more for its food and energy security. E.g. why are we not making use of ideas like solar energy (plenty of sunshine), tidal energy, wind energy, vertical agriculture (lots of tall high-rise) and urban agriculture. In comparison, urban agriculture is strongly encouraged in Vancouver to ensure food security and sustainability.<br />http://vancouver.ca/people-programs/urban-agriculture-guidelines.aspx<br /><br />But I guess the crux of the matter is as you've pointed out above. Singapore has sold its ownership of power generation and thus Singaporeans are paying "thru our nose" for the folly of the PAP government's decision. Everything in Singapore is about money, if one has money, anything can be done. In the process, the other values of social cohesion, building a national identity, defending the nation's security (and I am not talking about the grossly inflated defence budget for military defence alone -- anyone still remembers "Total Defence"?) are being traded off in exchange for spectacular GDP growth.<br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_Defence_(Singapore)<br /><br />> One day, we will go bankrupt.<br />That is also my concern for Singapore.<br /><br />Thanks again for visiting and also for sending your readers my way regarding a "green frog". ;-) Actually my comment was posted on asingaporeanson's blog entry “新加坡人3000元工作,不干!” and not in my blog itself.<br />http://asingaporeanson.blogspot.ca/2012/09/3000.html<br /><br />Cheers, WD.Winking Dollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14045187430930181570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5452590323401882895.post-90228591505026141112012-09-26T16:09:13.969-07:002012-09-26T16:09:13.969-07:00Envy your place.
