Not so green
ARE we really a garden city? science thinks so but believes
Singaporeans can work harder at developing a green culture.
He writes: 'I believe such environmental care should start at all
levels, from the individual to the corporations and the
Government.'
alvinaloy agrees.
He says: 'I think we're only a Garden City where it matters. It's
basically cleaner and greener in touristy areas like Orchard Road,
City Hall, etc. Take a walk in the heartlands and you'll find it
ain't so clean.'
twtan thinks we have some way to go too. 'I still see people
throwing rice, bread etc... from high up in the blocks to feed the
pigeons.'

The slim truth
EXPATRIATE pleasantlyplump cannot get over how Asians stay so
slim.
She says: 'I have to say I'm a little jealous, but considering the
food-obsessiveness of Singapore in particular where I see people
eating at all times of the day, why aren't there more fat
people?'
pillpopper quips: 'Diet pills lah!'
food addict puts it down to portions. 'Look around when you go to a
restaurant. Local people don't eat too much. It's all in the
portions and in the balance - yes, they eat greasy food but the
quantity is low.'
