A more courteous World

Democracy is a word that is too difficult to understand by the average Joe and Jane. Freedom is too vague. Freedom to do what and freedom not to do what. Many would definitely appreciate more courtesy.

Blazing the Trail

One of the most untapped natural resource is the human mind. Instead of Ministry of Manpower, rename it Ministry of Manpower Development. Rename schools into Development of Human Potential instead.

Living around the zoo

Would you fancy living around the zoo. Wake up to the sounds of the animals. Would the smell of the animal park be great for you or just a little too much? Imagine, looking over your veranda to see the lions, zebra or tigers. Would you pay a premium to have a view of the lions or the deers?
Which would you prefer? People now rethink about having a view of the sea due to the Tsunami. Imagine going to work to discuss about what you have just witnessed in your zoo. I look forward to the day when animals, birds, fishes can be as accessible to us as shopping centres, that they be incorporated in our surroundings and environment as much as possible. Plants, animals, birds, fishes are part of our well-being. Let's not forget them. It's better than having bolts of electricity being passed into our brains, that's for sure. Let's not destroy our natural heritage in the name of progress. I rather that we do not progress in such areas that destroy our natural heritage.

Singapore - Something for everyone

There has been much buzz about Integrated Resorts in Singapore where people can gamble in the casinos. Gamblers are welcome to gamble untill they are starry eyed. Pubs welcome drinkers to drink until they are numb. Just don't drink and drive. Take a taxi instead. Nature lovers can walk in MacRitchie Reservoir, Botanical gardens, Pierce Reservoir and many more places. Animals lovers can visit the Zoological Gardens, Bird Paradise and the Night Safari.

Africa - Poverty?

Africa has often been portrayed as a country with one of the poorest people in the world. But in actual fact, Africa is very rich in scenic and has fantastic herds of animals with their migration habits. Africa is one of the unspoiled places in the world with many species of birds and animals. Let's hope that Africa in development will not lose out on its animals or the world will indeed be much poorer.

China - Taiwan Issue

I guess people in Taiwan will want to know if Taiwan will be richer or poorer under China. Who would want to choose to become poorer? On the other hand, who wouldn't want to be richer?

Promoting Cloth Bags rather than plastic bags

Will the use of cloth bags be better than plastic bags? Cloth bags can be re-used. Cloth bags are more easily decomposed. China could go into production of cloth bags cheaply. Less people will complain about cheaper cloth bags if this will go towards preserving our planet Earth.
