Reflection- Peijun
Monday, March 15, 2010
All these years, Singapore has constantly been growing economically. With growth comes changes. Without changes, Singapore will never be able to have new ideas and products. These new ideas and products gives Singaporeans a fresh outlook and also to get away from the stressful lives Singaporeans lead. This can be done with more land. For instance, the government has an ongoing project about turning Punggol into a waterfront town. Over there, water recreational activities are available such as water skiing, skin diving and boating. All these would not have been possible without land. Therefore, land is very important in guiding Singapore through its growth.

As the world is constantly changing, Singapore has to change too. The above example might seems good for all of us, but money is also needed to build all the facilities and to buy the land. We get to enjoy all the facilities and recreational activities, but the government is the one forking out the money. They want us to enjoy and hence, they lose out. When something is being changed, a sum of money is needed and it is usually paid by the government.

Without all the land, Singaporeans will not be able to enjoy so many activities and they may lose out as compared to other country's citizens. Therefore, change is definitely essential as the world is also changing at the same time. We must be able to catch up with the change and not lag behind.
