Though Singapore has changed and improved, we are far from been
a green country. Our main aim is economy and is regardless of the
impact it cost the person in the future.
A simple example is HDB insist that the residents use plastic bags
when disposing their garbage while the ENV encourage the
supermarkets to reduce the issue of plastics. This is very
confusing to the people. Without plastic, the HDB garbage chute
system will smell badly!
If I am not wrong, Singapore is the only country that is illegal to
collect rain water. I wander why?
I am in the green business but I carry out my business overseas as
the "green" approach in Singapore in my opinion is just a "show"
without full commitment. This must change for the benefit and to
protect our children!
In fact, with our strength, we can lead the Asia region with
billions and billions of dollars opportunities but we are still too
short sighted. Too sad!!
Our economy is especially vulnerable to climate change and if we
continue to ignore it, our economy will collapse and this can be
very sudden. A simple example is oil. Only recently, our electrical
bill increased. It will continue!
I hope that with some mindset change we can be better off.
