Smart Cities: Singapore 

Q1

lol, untill you actually live in Singapore and realise how hard people lives are. lol

@@JaspalloMusician My life's great.

@@biri2biri that's awesome. I am very pleased for you but when I went there, I hardly saw anybody smiling while I was wondering the streets. Not sure if everybody is as enthusiastic as you are.

@@JaspalloMusician Nobody will be smiling as they walk... TAT That's just creepy. You don't have to keep smiling as you walk to show that you're happy. Maybe you're mixing up our culture with other countries.

@@JaspalloMusician I have 2 properties, 4 companies. My daughter starts NUS in September & my son in a NTU scholar. So, my life's OK.

3yrs ago, damn may I ask where you got food poisoning from? Food poisoning is a big deal in SG.

He doesn't have the consent to go full Singapore

Caroline Kuo I

@@CasperTheGhost64 He said while typing on his Asus computer. Above him was the flag "Trump 2020" he had bought from Alibaba on the cheap. If only they knew the Majesty of the Orange One, the protector of America from globalism, he thought as he played Dark Souls on his PlayStation (created by Sony).

He needs to see/read anything at all first

well, to be fair, i dont think trump is a good president, but he has to take care of all the united states of america, and all of them have different laws and legimitations. hell Singapore is not even as big as los Angeles, its a lot easier to gouvern and Focus your Attention to this small area than a Country the size of the USA. but also, Singapore is doing very great and we can learn a lot from them, harmonic international diversity and focused on the future. the only Thing i dont like About Singapore is the sightly oppressive Government.

But aren't smart cities not playing in the hands of dictators and tyranny? Might consider this

Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan have done well for themselves as well.

Not S. Korea. They have too much poverty and prostitution. Taiwan has a growing homeless population and no effort to assist their poor.

Apt215 Melissa Brown. Idiot, the poverty rate in S. Korea is lower than in the U.S.

lol

I feel like a lot of people can learn from them, it's hard to say if the things they do are easily scalable though.

they r among the worst. yes agree they did wht singapore now. but the citizen suffers alot!! till now we are suffering.

um........... Mr Lee kuan yew passed away at 21 March 2015 so.........

Roy Rockkingjunior, you are a piece of shit. What LKY and PAP did was for the good of singapore. Now STFU!

@@isshah2449 You are a disgrace to Singapore! You are honestly the most ungrateful person I have ever seen. Lee Kuan Yew and PAP worked hard to build Singapore. If you think you are suffering, you should have thought about them 10 years ago. As a Singaporean I disagree with the fact that you think the citizens are suffering.

@james conor I am a Singaporean citizen and I have to agree Lee Kuan Yew and PAP worked hard to make Singapore what it is Today. So if you are a Singaporean, please look through our history and you will understand why I disagreed with you.

It should be both.

acajudi100 Dont please.... just dont

acajudi100 me too 🙋

acajudi100 Will you be seeing the national day parade? it falls on 9th August, celebrating Singapore's 52nd year of independence

Another year of national day parada

have you went

Good try, not quite

True, they put everything in separate plastic bags. One bag for meat, one for vegetables etc... and if you ask them to put it in one bag, they put 2 bags inside each other...

Its not wasted. Those stuff are incinerated to generate electricity (like natural gas turbines) and the ash goes to landfill.

B. Kanishka Guluwita you expect wildlife and more nature ? Its a small country with very less resources instead of finding what they are missing we should improve our countries which are just stuck in corruption and ethnic or religious conflicts.

Durgesh Kinnerkar by wildlife i meant those mammals, birds etc that you usually see in an urban park. Did you know that some time ago, they had a campaign for culling crows? We certainly have a lot to learn from them, but, like you said it's a small country with a strongly controlled population. So, it may not have the same complexities experienced by the other countries in the region.

Point taken...

No flies and no dogs and not many babies.....coming from Australia it stood out.

Squizzy Bollocks I currently live in Aus, and lived more than 25 years in Sri Lanka. So i know the two extremes. That's why i would rate aus cities above Singapore. They may have flaws, but the designed/planned spaces also support life like the birds, squirrels etc. and the natives. We humans are a part of nature, and have our own human imperfections that makes us living beings. If you try to make our cities 100% logical, rationale and orderly, you would end up removing the culture, the beauty, variety and the opportunity in urban environment, which i believe is what Singaporean cities are.

god I hope so. Right now it's not all that smart at all. Toronto needs some better zoning and large mixed-use projects rather than purely residential

Don't let this beauty of smart cities distract you of what it really is for it's actually for agenda 21 where everyone lives in these controlled cities where every camera is watching you from facial recognitions to an rifd chip implant in your right hand and foreheads there will be no freedom and no privacy.

Michael Young exactly !!!!

singlish . lol

Isn't it the first languages for most purposes?

​@A kid in Africa English is a Global Language, the official Language of Businesses, trades and Diplomacy, if you said "Fuck English not everyone needs to speak that shit" why the hell do you speak english then, why would you degraded a language that you have been spoken?

Yes very lamguage singapore. Very.

@A kid in Africa HAAHHAHAHAHH Very funny

You made it

Nice same

@james conor You can't call someone racist just because they are a Singaporean. You wouldn't like it if I called you racist when you did nothing wrong. Stop hating on Singapore! No country deserves any hate!

Shorts and slippers the standard

There is no such thing as good private health care....unless you're super rich.

...better than lining shareholders pockets

You're overdue for another visit

They are little kids not past the age of seven what can you expect?

everyone can sweat from their head so assuming he wears the hat cause the sweat is much more visible and shiny.. being bald and all

I thought he said " everytime I eat dog-food......" I'm confused 😕

The guy was making a joke. We all know it's because he's bald. Let the guy live

I think it was a joke lol he clearly wears a hat because he likes it and it's probably really hot and sunny outside, especially hard on the head when you don't have much hair

it's a joke with poor execution.

March the elderly through Malaysia,Thailand,Golden Triangle . Only the strong will survive. 哈哈哈哈

sandy moonstone start with YOU first.

depends on which part of the island u grew up at. my parents grew up in very different conditions. mom had piped water (rochor) and dad had to draw water from a communal well pump (toapayoh/balestier area)

Darling, you grew up in a privileged area.

the fuck, are you from the upper class?, if so, you have to know the condition of the lowest class citizen lives and their poverty condition, the way you describe yourselves is like you born from a rich family and yet you complain? not all people within Singapore lived in your condition during that time ya know. in 1965, not everyone have accessed to clean waters and now every Singaporean have accessed to clean waters.

You sounds like you are living a very sheltered life, in a bubble. You obviously have not seen or lived in those shanteys or the many swamps in SIngapore then..... Heard of bucket system? LOL

You forgot to mention Hock Lee Amalgamated , Changi Bus, STC Trolleys, Katong Bedok and many others I cannot recall. I was based in Singapore 1956, my girl friend lived in Tiong Bahru later we married!, all the flats had running water and electricity. Yes the Kampongs were often poor but after having suffered under colonialism and the dreadful Japanese from 1942 to 45, Singapore and her people were lucky compared with many other countries in Asia. The Population of mainly Hokien/Cantonese, Malayu and Kling were all so wonderful despite the struggle they experienced, later I was back in Singapore 1967-70 then again 1973.76 and every two years I go to Singapore for holiday (Old and retired of course)Sadly, the population growth has expanded to almost exclude Singapore Born Peoples this is the fault of the government however, given the size of the island, it is the most intelligent of countries, and yes, financial struggles still exist and poeple work, work, work, but are generally better off materially than they ever were under British Colonialism and, looking at Indonesia and Malaysia, Singapore is STILL the winner.Look at Britain today, once ruler of the massive Colonial EMPIRE, destroyed by the Japanese in 3 years, yet Singapore people sprang from the ashes like a Pheonix.Be Proud, and look at the positive history.

chicken rice with chill sause

Hainanese Chicken Rice with Blended Chili sauce... Oh..Man, that sauce is going to burn your ass... but it's really a good pairing with that oily rice and succulent juicy chicken meat. Too bad I am a vegan now.. cannot eat that... LOL

james conor you seem to have zero idea about Singapore. It’s property values and returns from rentals have been some of the highest compared to any other city. A minimum 1.6% rental returns from real estate and living expenses has been the same since my birth. The country didn’t crash or anything... it’s the best economy to invest (through funds and bonds) for example DBS is one of the most promising banks today. With or without foreigners the economy remains untouched, it’s just the social repercussions faced by countries like Vietnam or Indonesia by these ‘(s)expats’ now has hit Singapore, this was unexpected

Isqandar Shah too true, from secondary schools to elderly. Money is always a problem for Singaporeans. Everything is expensive.

Joy Rockkingjunior why can’t u spend ur own money? 🧐

Not all locals feel that way actually. Because there are super rich people too, expenses has to be higher

When you don't work hard and plan your savings don't blame it on the country but yourself!

You don't have to. I'm happy and well here. 🙂

@@biri2biri Same!

-_- It's not like that for most of us. Smh.

haha

Lol what a non sequitur

In this case the diversity came along with good policies, something that every nation needs to learn about Singapore.

@@Hadrianus01 for idiots living in a bubble it certainly is.

Their approach to embrace all religions and ethic background is indeed a nice example to the world.

@@wodan74 there is certainly a preferential treatment towards whites but amongst asian countries they are doing a much better job in giving folks opportunities. It's not a perfect city but is doing a better job than most.

That must be because you are a very boring person LOL

Sorry, no gogo bars here

You must be one of those who don't actually know Singapore and simply assumes that what you see in a few days at that one location is what Singapore really is.

It does not work like this in Singapore

@@NewmaticKe I agree.

I think that without Tamil people Singapore will be just fine. Talking about the fact that not all the Tamil people here are smart people and are capable to help the Nation. Most high paying employees are Chinese. Then of course there are those life savers who work in hospitals, ever notice how many Chinese people are there? Please don't be delusional! If you want me to be nice, all I can say is that don't compare Tamil people with Chinese people because I can promise you, you won't be happy with the results.

@@hehitsme7014 When I say it does work like this, I mean in Singapore we dont split up the races to measure performance. We did not succeed by being divisive. We found strength in diversity. Dont join in the game of the orginal comment.

Shut Up! Technology is the future.
