I lived and worked in Singapore during the late 1960's, and the changes since the are meteoric! Almost nothing remains of the ''Old Singapore'' except a small bridge, and a couple of traditional buildings, like Raffles. The term, ''necessity is the mother of invention,'' really does apply. .
Excellent video. The construction of the DTSS in dense urban areas has not disrupted traffic flow and other urban activities. It is impressive as to how the construction teams use available greenery space, small access openings along busy roadways, etc. This project will free up valuable land for other usage. And much of the work is done by foreign laborers.
thumbs up to all foreign labor coming to Singapore to work at road sites, construction buildings, projects such as underwater tunnels,MRT,housing,road works etc. Keep up and may God bless each and everyone coming to Singapore to help build strong foundations
A video on dtss, quite a revision about what I knew of this project. Main advantage is no more odour when passing by kranji MRT station after dtss 2 is completed. The stench was so horrible when the wind blowed towards the platform.
Does Singapore's semi-democracy outperform total democracy in Western countries? It seems so in numerous aspects, including economic growth, urban planning, social stability, and crime control, among others. I used to question Singapore's political system, but the outcomes achieved thus far indicate a different perspective. I am hopeful that Singapore will persist in its journey as a successful example.
Right--when a government doesn't have to be burdened with a divisive, slow political process like the ones democracies create, it makes things easier to get things done. Ironically, people who live in countries like the U.S., U.K , France, etc. end up hating the politicians and government leaders THEY elect to office.
@@gilgameschvonuruk4982 I agree. The Swiss direct democracy also runs exceptionally well. IMO it's much better than Singapore's because the latter has a built-in danger of turning into an authoritarian regime or even dictatorship easily without the necessary balance of power and active political involvement of the General Public.
@@NoSuffixSingapore was at least hundred year behind when she started. Most democracy are breaking apart, majority didnt perform at all after post colonial independence. UK and UK are decaying fast, the middle class standard of living are declining as day goes by, and has been so for last few decades. US military chief, not a democratically elected person had to call to assure China that Trump mad order if any would not be followed on his last days in office. Mankind survival was under threat. He is coming back, democractically elected under US system. If this system is not broken, what is? He has another 5 year chance to destroy mankind again. If this democracy system not be destroyed, what is? A mad belief to a system is not much difference from sun-worshipping during stone age era.
This sewer treatment and its complex recycle system was forced upon a small island country, Singapore with no water resource. Most countries have ample resource of fresh water from mountains, streams and rivers. These countries just need a simpler filtration and test before they’re sent to the city potable water system. Sewer treatment in most countries are just the same type using large holding cement tanks for solid separation, oil skimming and pumping out to a neutralization tank, filtration and sending out clean effluent to the sea.
Singapore has no shortage of water, its bought from Malaysia, cleaned and the excess sold back at a profit because Johor lacks the "simpler filtration and test before they’re sent to the city potable water system". This video is about sewage treatment and just as importantly the necessity to become fully self sufficient to remove the numerous threats made by the childish Malaysians to cut off water supply.
@@leapdrive If all goes to plan, and it will, Singapore will be self-sufficient by 2040. Given how far behind Malaysia is with respect to water treatment it will be they who then become reliant on what will then be just a business for Singapore. That said they rates will have to be increased significantly.
@@byteme9718 water treatment is not high tech. If Malaysia doesn’t see profits in providing Singapore with treated water, they’ll just send you river water. Any country can treat water to any degree if it does a little research/consultation and puts in the capital to do so. Don’t think your Singapore is soo good when this technology is existing technology for decades now. You guys in that little island think like the arrogant East Asians as usual and why East Asians are hating on one another.

Thank you for the feedback. Admittedly we are still growing as a channel and are always looking for ways to improve. Really appreciate it if you could share where we can do better. Any feedback helps :)
Most cities aren't recycling and treating water for conservation purposes the way they are. Usually, wastewater is treated just enough to be released back into the ocean. They're taking sustainability to a different level and providing their people with more clean, potable drinking water.
