There is a Chinese saying that says " being born blessed , yet not knowing one's blessings "

Compared to some other countries, Singapore's pollution issue is really not at all dangerous. The only time when pollution in Singapore becomes a health hazard was during the recent haze period. For the issue, not only the entire island of Singapore was impacted, our northern neighbour was also affected.

Yet, other than the haze problem, we make a mountain out a molehill on the so called industrial pollution on the east or west of Singapore as though people will die young by living in these places.

I have been to worst polluted countries. I can say we live in a fortunate country where we have good government and good system in place to control pollution.

MND delays move of headquarters to Jem

But AVA and BCA will relocate to Jurong East next year as planned


The Ministry of National Development (MND) is holding off its move to Jurong East for now, but its statutory boards, the Agri-Food & Veterinary Authority of Singapore (AVA) and the Building and Construction Authority (BCA), will proceed as planned to relocate next year to the office tower of the Jem project.

The 11 levels of office space, with net lettable area (NLA) of around 310,000 sq ft, is expected to receive Temporary Occupation Permit by year's end.

All three entities are currently housed in the MND Building in Maxwell Road.

"As there are no immediate plans to re-develop the existing MND Complex at Maxwell, MND's plans to re-locate to Jem will be organised in phases. In the first phase, AVA and BCA will relocate to Jem in 2014," said an MND spokesman.

"MND HQ would move in due course, taking into account the market conditions and the pace of developments to relocate other ministries to Jurong Lake District. This will create eventually a strategic cluster of associated ministries at Jurong Lake District."

In 2010, the government said that, besides MND, AVA and BCA, there were also plans for the Ministry of the Environment and Water Resources to move to Jurong East.

The following year, MND revealed that it had inked a 30-year lease for the office tower of Lend Lease's mixed development next to the Jurong East MRT Station, where it, along with BCA and AVA, would move to.

Now, the ministry is seeking to appoint a panel of leasing agents to sublet around 70,000 sq ft comprising three of the 11 levels of office space in Jem, BT understands. The asking monthly rent is said to be around $6.50 per square foot (psf).

MND's spokesman said: "The Jurong Lake District is one of the key regional growth areas identified by the Singapore government. To help catalyse the development of this new growth region, MND signed a 30-year lease at Jem with the developer, Lend Lease, in 2011. MND also worked to help Lend Lease to design an award-winning green office building.

"Flexibility was provided for in the lease arrangement so that MND can better manage the stages and timing of its use of the office spaces. This included sub-leasing to other interested tenants."

Following AVA and BCA's move to Jurong, the vacated space at Maxwell Road will be made available to interested tenants for their short-term lease.

Jem's retail component opened in June this year. The buzz quotient around Jurong East MRT Station is set to increase next month, when CapitaLand group opens the mall at its Westgate project. Located next to Jem, Westgate also has an office tower, which is slated for completion late next year.

Talk in the market is that leasing efforts for the 20-storey Westgate Tower, comprising 320,000 sq ft net lettable area of offices, have been put on hold.
CapitaLand is said to have initially planned to find a bulk buyer for an enbloc sale of a huge chunk, if not all, of the office space at a target price of around $2,200 psf. However, it is now open to selling strata units, probably on a whole-floor basis, suggest sources. "A price of $2,200 psf is more likely to be achieved on a strata basis rather than for en-bloc basis," said a seasoned investment sales agent.

In the past six months, office units at Paya Lebar Square were sold at prices ranging from $1,732 psf (for a 484-sq ft space on the eighth floor) to $2,427 psf (for a 506 sq ft unit on the 13th floor), based on caveats data. "Paya Lebar is closer to the city, compared with Jurong East. But Jurong East is much more advanced in terms of shaping up as a regional centre than Paya Lebar," said the agent.

Last month, 10,097 sq ft on the 41st level of Suntec Tower Three was transacted at $3,000 psf. The building is on a site with balance lease term of about 75 years.

"Those who buy office units in the Jurong East location may be in businesses that don't require them to travel in and out of the city. For instance, an office in Jurong East may be complementary to their industrial activity in the western part of Singapore," said the agent.

From an investment angle, buying a strata office in Jurong East may also appeal to those who want to invest in the Jurong regional centre story without being affected by the cooling measures that have been slapped on the residential and industrial property sectors, say market watchers.

Another source of office supply in the Jurong East locale will emanate from Sim Lian's project on Venture Avenue. In September, Sim Lian bagged the Urban Redevelopment Authority's provisional permission to develop about 625,500 sq ft gross floor area of offices and 69,500 sq ft of retail space on its site. Word on the street is that Sim Lian is looking to strata-title the office component for sale, with a launch expected in the first half next year.

huh? 10,000 dead in philippines is meaningless in this forum.
maybe we should welcome more filipinos brothers and sister into our shores.

the real lesson here is what happens after a disaster strikes.
if you have read reports, there are already lootings in the affected areas.
compare and contrast the after effects of a disaster in Japan vs Philippines, Haiti.
Singapore is more alike to Japan or to Philippines?

during the Fukushima nuclear disaster, the Japanese demonstrated to the world how resilient and considerate they can be. However Japan is a very much homogenous society with a very strong Japanese 'core'. This is what any nation building should aspire towards. Spore on the other hand has gone the opposite direction and lost its core due to misguided immigration policies.

So if we have more foreigners, we can cut queues, scold the mcdonald staff and be ungracious? Sound pretty dumb to me. When I was in Japan, I don't see Japanese cutting my queue just because I am not a Japanese.

Anyway, this Singaporean graciousness is a known thing since the 80s. It is just finding excuses for our behavior. But if you think we should be ungracious because we have a lot of foreigners, than good for you and your children. I think differently. It is the Japanese culture and education rather than low number of foreigners that they behave like this.

I never ask you to accept some foreign authority reports on health concerns of living within 7km of refineries, but rather, to ask you, Ringo and the others not to slander the reputation and question integrity of the Europe Environment Agency and US Environment Protection Agency by saying that their reports are rubbish and telling us that we must listen to Singapore local authority reports.

That is why I ask you what local authority reports you want us to believe that can over-rule Europe EA and US EPA reports? Apparently until now, you are not able to tell us that such reports existed, and yet you demand that we believe such a "virtual report" which says that there is no healthy concerns regardless of whether you live 1km or 7km from the refineries. Am I right to say that this is actually just Ringo and your group's personal opinions and not local authority's official statement?

We all also know that Europe EA has very much better environment protection records than Singapore, and have very much higher environment protection standards and introducing at very early date, that is why Singapore is following them to introduce Euro 5 & 6 emission standards etc in coming years. Europe already mandated that vehicles need to follow Euro 5 emission standard in 2008/2009 but Singapore is just going to adopt Euro 5 emission standard in 2014! :doh:

Despite of the above, Ringo and your group are now telling us that we rubbish Europe EA reports? Then why Singapore follow Europe emission standards? Might as well tell Singapore don't follow Europe standard and demand that they follow Singapore standard go backward in time? :tongue3:



Indeed Teddy Sir

"we" have never asked you to accept and all the while been pointing the links to you.

I think it is the other way round where you and all the others had been asking us to accept based on some foreign authority and photos of Jurong Island and some even based on their sense like smell and skin sensitivities and even to the extend of drawing "ang kong" with all the perception of wind directions.

If you have no confidence in the local authority on environment then it is not my fault and you should not be imposing your view on me by posting another country standard


Two solution for you


1) Write to NEA and question them in regards with your doubts
2) Invite your expert from US and Europe to come here and do a write up on the West
to prove your point

i believe it boils down to education, culture and societal norms. e.g. look at how no one came to help the poor woman that was being spat on by an able-bodied man. No SMRT staff, no man (serve NS for what?) bothered to shield the woman or restrain the guy.

while subpar immigration policies contribute to societal tensions, i don't think that entirely explains why singaporeans fail to exhibit public grace, most of the time.

"We have lost faith in the system.

That's how Mr Laurence Wong and Mr Paul Liew described their feelings about the way the police have handled the assault case which they were involved in.

The two men, together with Mr Wong's then-fiance, were at Suntec City one evening in April 2010 when they came to the aid of a cab driver, Mr Tan Boon Kin, 57, who was being harassed and assaulted by 3 Caucasian men - New Zealander Robert Stephen Dahlberg, 34; Australian Nathan Robert Miller, 35; Briton Robert James Springall.

When the two men tried to stop the assailants from attacking Mr Tan, they were set upon by the Caucasians too. In the event, Mr Liew sustained a fractured nasal bone, a deep gash on the forehead and nose bleed. He had been slammed against the sharp edge of a pillar, had slumped to the floor and was repeatedly kicked on the head and face by the group of expats."

that's a separate issue. being civic minded or exhibiting social grace is not dependent on how the quality of our police or judicial system.

on the judicial system, several foreigners (ang mos and a japanese) who molested women were allowed to settle their cases out of court - i.e. no trial despite police reports were made. why? they made "restitutions" to the victims.

firstly, is "outrage of modesty" considered a civil or criminal case? if the latter, why are the perpetuators allowed to settle the cases out of court? secondly, does this mean that rich perpetuators have a greater chance of being let of the hook since they can afford to pay their victims, as compared to those who aren't able to? thirdly, if the first and second point holds, what does this then spell for future offenders?

yr eg is a bit missing my point liao.

when I say help, I dun mean to do it at the expense of endangering one's safety or life. eg, if I cant swim I wun jump into the water to save a drowning person.
I mean help which is within a person ability to do it EASILY.
sometimes a little bit of mafan could safe a person's life.

reminded me of a road accident tat happened in china a few yrs back. a toddler gal was on knocked down by a lorry. she was seriously injured & there were several passer-bys who walked past her but no one bother to send her to the hospital.
in the end she died.
juz imagine u r the parent of the toddler. would u hope someone will not mind the little mafan & send yr daughter to the hospital? or at least call the ambulance?

that's why i said it's a separate issue and i reiterate that civic-mindedness is not dependent on whether the system rewards or penalize you for stepping forward.

u should address mermaid's point and specific example of the woodlands spitting man, and how she links it to being "too calculative and kiasi" if u dont help the victim.

how to restrain the guy? what happens if the guy resist back? it then becomes an escalation.

the reports claim that he laid hands on the one of the women, who cried molest. i assume all action isn't captured in the clip.

yup, i agree the women did the right thing but the officers did the wrong thing by NOT doing anything.

11-11-13, 15:11
Certain offences such as molest, the offender can offer cash in exchange for the victim to drop the case. The victim can also minimize the embarrassment in court. But if the victim is not agreeable, the case will go to court. So for those cases that are allowed to be settled out of court, the victims actually agree to it.

But the Police has done a lousy job on the assault case. Disgusting.

Hi Teddy

Interesting post :ashamed1:
Do you like to post the link here again the European EA and USA EA again,
Please.

Then state the parameter set to come out with those report
Some example
Number of flaring per day/week/month and number of chimneys
Geographical including size of sample, attitude, humility, inland or near sea and so on
The standard Internal audit of those companies operating in those zone


Hope we are comparing apple to apple

On Euro 5 and Europe talking about Euro 6 now
To understand we must find out why Euro 5 was introduced under what circumstances. Which year is not relevant
For Singapore maybe not at all and can even delay the introduction of Euro5
to 2020 !

Example
Emission level to which degree, Orchard Road emission level reading
West Coast road area emission reading that our Government deem it
critical to introduce Euro 5 standard

SINGAPORE — Looking for a new place to dump your children while you get a much needed dose of retail therapy?

Come Christmas, an 11,000-square foot outdoor playground will open its doors to young shoppers (and their parents) at Westgate, an integrated retail and office development in the heart of Jurong Lake District.

Westgate Wonderland claims to be Singapore’s largest thematic outdoor playground in a mall, and will be open to the public for free. The playground will have dry and wet areas, play zones catering to children of different ages, and will feature a larger-than-life garden with gigantic insects, musical flowers, a 10-metre tall tree house and an enormous watering can. You know, cos plants need water, right?

“We envisioned Westgate as a mall that goes ‘beyond shopping’ — a gathering place for the community and a place where families come to enjoy themselves and spend the day,” said Ms Wee Su Lin, General Manager of Westgate. “We thus anchor the mall’s family and lifestyle mall positioning with a dedicated family zone on Level 4, where the centerpiece will be Westgate Wonderland. Apart from its large area and customised play exhibits that weave a storyline, the playground stands out with its unique night-time play experience accentuated by special lighting and sound effects.”

In addition to Westgate Wonderland, the mall will also have a Kids Club, a supervised play area for children aged four to 12, with programmed activities including obstacle races and treasure hunts.

Jjointly developed by CapitaMalls Asia, CapitaMall Trust and CapitaLand, Westgate is slated to open before this Christmas

Europe already mandated all vehicles must follow Euro 5 in 2008/2009.
Singapore only going to follow in 2014! That is just too slow!
Instead, now you are telling us you know the reason why Euro 5 was not introduced in Singapore earlier and is not relevant which year it is going to be introduced in Singapore? :o
And do you know that Europe is already going to Euro 6 in 2014? :ashamed1:

Some example
Number of flaring per day/week/month and number of chimneys
Geographical including size of sample, attitude, humility, inland or near sea and so on
The standard Internal audit of those companies operating in those zone


Hope we are comparing apple to apple

On Euro 5 and Europe talking about Euro 6 now
To understand we must find out why Euro 5 was introduced under what circumstances. Which year is not relevant
For Singapore maybe not at all and can even delay the introduction of Euro5
to 2020 !

Example
Emission level to which degree, Orchard Road emission level reading
West Coast road area emission reading that our Government deem it
critical to introduce Euro 5 standard

Please go search my posts, I am not so free to feed you information that I had already posted.
Again, please read the articles, because I am not going to spoon feed you like what Ringo requested. Strange, why you 2 behave so the same - wanting people to spoon-feed you all the information? :doh:

Europe already mandated all vehicles must follow Euro 5 in 2008/2009.
Singapore only going to follow in 2014! That is just too slow!
Instead, now you are telling us you know the reason why Euro 5 was not introduced in Singapore earlier and is not relevant which year it is going to be introduced in Singapore? :o
And do you know that Europe is already going to Euro 6 in 2014? :ashamed1:


It is alright if you are not going to post the link here.

The onus is on you to prove your Europe EA and USA EA are correct

Introducing Euro5 standard vehicle onto Singapore road whether early or not does not prove that car on our road are emitting so much air pollution that we must introduce it early or else ..blah blah blah :doh: (Singapore air quality on the whole is consider good)

The European Union has its own set of emissions standards that all new vehicles must meet. Currently, standards are set for all road vehicles, trains, barges and 'nonroad mobile machinery' (such as tractors). No standards apply to seagoing ships or airplanes.
Currently there are no standards for CO2 emissions. The European[/URL]Parliament has suggested introducing mandatory CO2 emission standards to replace current voluntary commitments by the auto manufacturers and labeling. In late 2005, the European (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Parliament)Commission started working on a proposal for a new law to limit CO2 emissions from cars. The European Commission has received support of the European Parliament for its proposal to promote a broad market introduction of clean and energy efficient vehicles through public procurement.
The EU is to introduce Euro 4 effective January 1, 2008, Euro 5 effective January 1, 2010 and Euro 6 effective January 1, 2014. [U]These dates have been postponed for two years to give oil refineries the opportunity to modernize their plants.

Why should I be proving that Europe EA and USA EA are correct when they are already stating facts and I definitely have a lot of confidence in their reports that they are correct because they have much a very long history of clear and better environmental protection records than most other countries, including Singapore!

Instead, if you question Europe EA and USA EA reports, then the onus is on you to prove that their reports do not apply to Singapore! Is Singapore so special, the air in Singapore so special, that causes Europe EA and USA EA reports to be not applicable to Singapore? :tsk-tsk:

Since you like to quote NEA so much, a very easy way for you is to demand NEA to issue a clear statement that Europe EA and USA EA report cannot apply to Singapore! Easy as a piece of cake isn't it? Please go do that, then I will believe what Ringo and you and your group are trying to shaft down our throat that Europe EA and USA EA reports cannot apply to Singapore and that living within 1km and more than 7km from refineries and chemical manufacturing plants etc have no difference on a person's health! :rolleyes:

I have been asking you these questions countless times

1) Did the EEA and US EPA report states that pollution from refinery and incinerators are confined to 15km radius?

2) Did EEA and US EPA report mentioned that air pollution from other sources like road transportation, shipping vessel, airport etc are not harmful to human beings?

Vehicular pollution is everywhere. Industrial pollution is not everywhere. I can see and smell jurong island pollution in jurong, not in Queenstown or Bishan. Is it better to have just vehicular pollution or industrial plus vehicular? I do not smell pollution from ships when taking walks around parkway parade, I smell factory pollutants everywhere and everyday in jurong. I am not saying this to put down jurong but I am merely stating a fact. As I have said before, Jurong would be a wonderful place to live without the factories.

The NEA uses the real-time monitoring data to obtain and report 24-hour Pollution Standard Index (PSI) levels along with their corresponding air quality categories as shown in the adjacent table and which does not use color coding.

The NEA states that the PSI scale developed for use in Singapore is very similar to the scale developed and used by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The NEA also further states that the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) developed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency are used to assess Singapore's air quality.

Certain offences such as molest, the offender can offer cash in exchange for the victim to drop the case. The victim can also minimize the embarrassment in court. But if the victim is not agreeable, the case will go to court. So for those cases that are allowed to be settled out of court, the victims actually agree to it.

But the Police has done a lousy job on the assault case. Disgusting.

the case can only be settled out of court if it is civic in nature. if it is criminal, there is no way it can or should be settled out of court, as per current practice.

e.g. i smash bottle on my wife's head. my wife call Mata. Mata catch and charge me. Wife says it's a lover dispute. Guess what Mata will say, "Sorry no cure, a criminal charge goes to the AGC)

teddy, u seems to have the view that US EPA and Europe EA is infallible. what if the safe distance is not 7km, but 70km ?
if the 2 agencies were involved in coverups of some other stuff, would you still trust their reports on pollution?

when i see photos of indonesia forest fires and australian forest fires, it looks to me like the smoke travel in 1 direction, the prevailing wind direction. there is no divergence, it doesn't spread out 360 degrees like a sound point source.
1 km or 10km down the burning sites, i supposed doesnt makes much of a difference.

Moreover, LTA is doing a good job by getting car, compulsory to be Inspected regularly.

there is a very simple and obvious reason why singapore looks to USA and Europe when setting up local regulations - they are global leaders and they set global benchmarks.

firstly, if you want to dispute that their rules are not relevant to Singapore, then you have to question lots of Singapore's regulations since our government agencies, e.g. HSA, AVA, CDC, NEA, all take cue from global standards and adapt them for local use.

secondly, the logic behind your statement is incorrect

"Introducing Euro5 standard vehicle onto Singapore road whether early or not does not prove that car on our road are emitting so much air pollution "

the absence of regulations does not equate to the absence of offences - e.g. the lack of strict animal welfare regulations (a couple of years ago) did not mean there weren't animal abuse cases. it's just that legislation has not yet caught up with societal advances.

thirdly, getting a car check at Vicom does not mean that we have arrived at the pinnacle of air safety and no more improvements can be made. that is why Singapore is adopting the Euro standards.

fourthly, we have to be mindful of the differences in population density between Singapore vs US and Euro where population is more sparsely distributed. pollutants are more easily trapped and retained in densed, tall urban structured settings, for obvious reasons.

distance makes a whole lot of differences. go check out the mathematical formulas. e.g. if it's 300psi here, we can be sure that sumatra's PSI would be well beyond 300psi.

Outrage of modesty is just one of the very limited offences that allow settlement out of court. The court consider the embarrassment that the victim has to face if the case go on and so, there is an out of court settlement clause. But as I said earlier, if the victim says no settlement, the DPP will charge that fellow with OM. If repeated offender, probably get long jail sentence and canning.

You are half right about smashing bottle on your wife's head. Smashing bottle on your wife's head is only voluntarily causing hurt. It is a civil lawsuit case and a non-seizable offence. Even the police come, they will just record your statement and ask you to go to the court and engage your own lawyer if you wish to pursuit the case. No arrest will be made.

But instead of the bottle, you use a knife and stab your wife, then for that case, it won't be a civic case. You will be arrested on the spot and there is NO settlement out of court even if your wife requested for it. The AGC will just proceed on with the charge.

firstly, if you want to dispute that their rules are not relevant to Singapore, then you have to question lots of Singapore's regulations since our government agencies, e.g. HSA, AVA, CDC, NEA, all take cue from global standards and adapt them for local use.

I have never disputed on the Euro EA and USA EA and have outmost respect for Regulatory body and do not intend to open another can of contention.

Let me explain
It is easier to measure air quality and other element and impose a conformity on a static object.
Example : An outdoor environmental monitoring unit placed in a strategic location. All it need is to take in the air and send to a processing unit to determine the quality of air.

It will be another story to determine the distance between the actual place of Industrial location in this case refineries where the pollutants are produce to surrounding areas affected. This become dynamic because much will be based on geographical and climatic. The whole contention that Teddy brought up. (just noticed that you also agreed that the Wind do play a part).
So my point is unless Teddy can prove that to live in a radius of XX km is hazardous from the place of produce using the same geographical and climatic setting USED IN THE SYNPOSIS by EURO EA and USA EA then it can apply to our Singapore Jurong Island and West/Jurong context.


secondly, the logic behind your statement is incorrect

"Introducing Euro5 standard vehicle onto Singapore road whether early or not does not prove that car on our road are emitting so much air pollution "

the absence of regulations does not equate to the absence of offences - e.g. the lack of strict animal welfare regulations (a couple of years ago) did not mean there weren't animal abuse cases. it's just that legislation has not yet caught up with societal advances.

To answer this question you have to look at Teddy question as quoted below. Please read. I will highlight the gist of it in Green

Quote :Europe already mandated all vehicles must follow Euro 5 in 2008/2009.
Singapore only going to follow in 2014! That is just too slow!
Instead, now you are telling us you know the reason why Euro 5 was not introduced in Singapore earlier and is not relevant which year it is going to be introduced in Singapore? :o
And do you know that Europe is already going to Euro 6 in 2014? :ashamed1:Unquote.

Introducing Euro 5 or even 6 able vehicle into Singapore is not a problem.
Question you got to ask will be
Are intermediaries ready like our Regulatory procedure, modernize fuel,
petrol kiosk and so on
Just for your information below :

(Quote) : The European Union has its own set of emissions standards that all new vehicles must meet. Currently, standards are set for all road vehicles, trains, barges and 'nonroad mobile machinery' (such as tractors). No standards apply to seagoing ships or airplanes.
Currently there are no standards for CO2 emissions.

So it is not about being Slow and wanting to be fast







thirdly, getting a car check at Vicom does not mean that we have arrived at the pinnacle of air safety and no more improvements can be made. that is why Singapore is adopting the Euro standards.

LTA is doing the best of its capability with the present set of situation
No argument about that we have to adopt to the Euro standard when we are ready

fourthly, we have to be mindful of the differences in population density between Singapore vs US and Euro where population is more sparsely distributed. pollutants are more easily trapped and retained in densed, tall urban structured settings, for obvious reasons.

Thank you for agreeing with me on the difference in the geographic
of different countries and that will bring us to your first question.

i think we agree on the point that if the woman says no, the offender will be charged in court. however, my point is that the rich has a higher chance of getting off the hook since he can afford. this should never be allowed.

consumption of healthcare resources and hiring lawyers isn't quite the same as judicial equality and by the way, those two qualities are written in our national pledge.

while i don't absolve blame of the system, i believe there should be a basic decency, that is innate in normal human beings, to speak or act against injustice. if there needs to be training (to protect victims), will we then say that the PRC society was not at fault for leaving the poor china girl on the road to die of her injuries?

i am not saying that these officers need to devise a creative solution to the problem or defuse it immediately. what would they do if the victim is their loved one? after donning a uniform, do we then say we are incapable of action because bureaucracy has not prepared for a scenario as such?

let us then talk more about wind. while the smoke will be carried in the direction of the wind, please do not forget that there is a minimal radial of dispersion from the source (please refer to the formulas or easier, look at chimney or volcano discharges) and is affected by other ambient factors such as air bouyancy, height of discharge, etc.

these are scientific formulas that apply universally. as to differences, from country to country, in safety distances, it's another entirely different debate by itself.

as i have mentioned repeatedly, with all else being equal, those living in proximity to heavy industries have a higher risk exposure than people living far away.

let us then talk more about wind. while the smoke will be carried in the direction of the wind, please do not forget that there is a minimal radial of dispersion from the source (please refer to the formulas or easier, look at chimney or volcano discharges) and is affected by other ambient factors such as air bouyancy, height of discharge, etc.

these are scientific formulas that apply universally. as to differences, from country to country, in safety distances, it's another entirely different debate by itself.

as i have mentioned repeatedly, with all else being equal, those living in proximity to heavy industries have a higher risk exposure than people living far away.

Hi eng81157

Yes now we are on the same frequency

Using the universal formula for air dispersion

http://upload.wikimedia.org/math/3/0/c/30c399a65f6756ae810de5fc789f09dc.png

in different area and countries can come out with different results

There are also at least another 15 formulas used by different countries based on their geographic and climate

so at least from here you can see that I am not against the Euro EA or the USA EA. My points as stated in highlight above.

I think let's agree to disagree la. No point carrying on. I get your point already. My point is the same as yours also. The rich has access to better lawyers and so, he stands a better chance against someone who is poor. The law is as such.





i think we agree on the point that if the woman says no, the offender will be charged in court. however, my point is that the rich has a higher chance of getting off the hook since he can afford. this should never be allowed.

consumption of healthcare resources and hiring lawyers isn't quite the same as judicial equality and by the way, those two qualities are written in our national pledge.

the law should not favour the rich over the poor - equality before the law

DKSG was kpkb so much saying DUO selling at near JG price. I thought the average price at DUO was $2000psf, and most expensive so far was $2600psf for studio,

As for Alexendra residence, average price is $1650psf, while J Gateway average price was $1450psf. Then we must also factor in the fact the J Gateway has got more compact size units than AR because J Gateway land was sold before URA imposed the minimum average size of 700sqft on project outside Central Area.

If you wish to compare the handful of J Gateway unit sold at $1700psf then you should also compare the handful of unit at AR the is sold above $2000psf.

I always think that Echelon is the culpit that lifts the condo price from readhill all the way to Jurong West, triggering the CMs that make me lose more than 100k.

Actually, the only thing Echelon can boast off is the marble floor. But everyone who has done renovation will know that the cost difference between ceramic and marble flooring will be less than 10k for a 100sqm unit.

Purely private residential enclaves will be increasingly hard to come by in the future with hdb blocks sprouting up everywhere. I think it is a matter of time when being away from hdb flats becomes a selling point for private property.


There are still plenty of poor community living in the central area which you call prime and not every where in that area is worth investing either.

your money will be better off following there its flowing instead of looking at district number,

woodland regional center is a double edge sword. on on hand it would bring more job to the region which could boost property prices, however due to its proximity and connectivity to JB, people working in the region might consider living in JB to take advantage of the lower cost of living.

when it's out in the plans, it's passe. thank goodness you aren't in EDB or else singapore would be dead.

come kam gong, impress us - do you know what's the next frontier for our economy?

I have no time to answer stupid question like these.

If you think that west region has got no potential, then its your job to tell us that why having a property within an employment and commercial hub is not a good thing, especially one which is growth are such great pace like Jurong region.

Cleantech park passe? Do you even know what you are talking about in the first place?

perhaps you might want to tell us which happening place to you live or invested

MND moving out from CBD to JLD, while hungry tech companies eager to move in to CBD.
The tech companies will leave their data center in JLD which employ more servers than ppl

"Traditionally occupied by financial institutions, the central business district is witnessing a new trend of consumer Internet companies taking up large spaces in prime Grade A office buildings, according to Cushman & Wakefield and reported in the media.

This comes amid increasing rents due to healthy demand and lack of new supply.

Notably, rents at Marina Bay moved up 0.85 percent to S$11.80 psf per month from S$11.70 psf per month in Q3, while Raffles Place rents grew 0.67 percent quarter-on-quarter to S$9 psf per month. Over at Shenton Way, rents have climbed 0.99 percent to S$8.20 psf per month.

Outside of the CBD, Grade A rents at Orchard Road posted the highest increase, climbing 2.2 percent to S$9.20 psf per month.

Overall, Grade A rents increased 1.1 percent quarter-on-quarter to S$9.38 psf per month in Q4.

Meanwhile, average vacancy levels for the Grade A market declined by 58 basis points to 4.9 percent as at end-2013. The CBD area also witnessed a drop in vacancy levels, with the average rate at Marina Bay slipping by more than one percentage point quarter-on-quarter to 10.1 percent, while Shenton Way and Raffles Place recorded vacancy rates of 3.2 percent and four percent respectively.

The drop in vacancy levels in the CBD is partly attributed to the rising trend of consumer Internet companies taking up huge spaces in prime Grade A buildings.

For instance, Booking.com is set to occupy around 45,000 sq ft at Marina Bay Financial Centre Tower 3, while Google plans to increase its presence in Asia Square Tower 1. PayPal is also looking to grow its presence at Millenia Tower.

The healthy absorption was also supported by recent deals such as Rabobank looking to take up 26,000 sq ft of space at South Beach and Mizuho’s plan to take more than 100,000 sq ft at Asia Square Tower 2.

Beware!! Its getting HOT!!




http://www.straitstimes.com/sites/straitstimes.com/files/20131128/TKCathayJemScreen28112013e.jpg

Cathay might be the last of the three major cinema players to have an outlet in the west, but when the Cathay Cineplex Jem opens on Friday, it will not lag behind in size.
With its 10 screens and 1,600 seats, it will outclass its rivals in the area, Shaw Theatres JCube, and Golden Village's GV Jurong Point, in screens and seats.
Cathay also claims that the 13.6 m by 7.3 m screen in its Digital Xtreme hall is the largest in a suburban cinema. The cineplex is located at the Jem shopping centre, next to the Jurong East MRT station.
The new cineplex will include a premium-class service, which Cathay calls its Platinum Movie Suites. Cathay is not the first cineplex to offer a premium service in a non-downtown location: GV Katong offers Gold Class halls with reclining seats. For $38 on weekends and $28 per person on weekdays, Cathay patrons will have the use of a private lounge as well as large reclining chairs in the 30-seat hall

companies wont simply put huge investment in a region if they dont see a potential and they certainly wont be offering premium services to region which they think people cannot afford.

So 1 cinema is going to make the place hot, so 1 company investing in Tuas is going to push up property prices.

BIOMED One @ Tuas Biomedical Park, which will cater to small and medium enterprises (SMEs) providing services to the biomedical industry, has broken ground and will come onstream in the first quarter of 2015.
Speaking at the groundbreaking ceremony yesterday, Senior Minister of State for Trade & Industry and National Development, Lee Yi Shyan, said: "Conceived as the next phase of development for Tuas Biomedical Park, the $62 million BioMed One will feature a Vendors Hub, which serves as a platform for biomedical companies located there to aggregate their demands for supporting services, process equipment and laboratory supplies."
A joint initiative between JTC Corp and Bio-pharmaceutical Manufacturers Advisory Committee (BMAC), the eight-storey BioMed One will have a gross floor area of 29,000 square metres and a plot ratio of 2.5, the highest in Tuas.
JTC expects the new building will help bring about a quicker turnaround time, greater cost-competitiveness and higher efficiencies for the clients of these SMEs.
"Co-locating in a single building will foster more collaboration amongst the players and make it easy for manufacturers, especially new ones, to source for supporting services," added Png Cheong Boon, chief executive of JTC, adding that being closer to their customers at BioMed One could create more business opportunities for vendors and suppliers, too.
BioMed One will feature shared meeting and training rooms as well as amenities, such as food and beverage outlets, a gym, a clinic and childcare services.
JTC, which has started to engage companies in discussions, expects the building to house some 20-30 firms, largely SMEs.
Carlos Pereira, co-chairman of BMAC and site head for Novartis Singapore Pharmaceutical Manufacturing, said: "The response time is going to be faster and also the ability to network by sharing some spaces is going improve."
BMAC, which represents companies located in Tuas Biomedical Park, expects to use the facility as well, which could lead to greater exchange between vendors and biomedical firms. Thirteen global biomedical players are based at the 312-hectare Tuas Biomedical Park in Tuas View, including Pfizer Asia Pacific, GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals and Wyeth Nutritionals.
The Biomedical Park, which was set up in 1997 to support the Republic's biomedical sciences industry, enables firms located there to leverage on common utilities and services for greater economies of scale, reducing costs and the amount of upfront capital investment needed.
Manufacturing output from Singapore's biomedical industry has increased almost five-fold over the past decade, from $6 billion to $29 billion. The industry employs some 18,000 people, up from 6,000 previously. At $977,000 per worker, the biomedical industry has the highest value-add among the manufacturing clusters in Singapore.

ドンク(兵庫県神戸市)は12 月 2 日、シンガポール西部・ジュロンイースト地区に開業する郊外型商業施設「Westgate」(3 Gateway Drive)にベーカリーブランド「Johan(ジョアン)」のシンガポール1号店をオープンする。

 ジョアンはドンクの展開する店舗ブランドの一つで、1983年に銀座三越に日本1号店がオープン。「ジョアンが創る世界のパン」のキャッチフレーズの 下、パリ郊外の名店「ローラン・ジョアン」のエスプリと味を引き継ぎながら、フランスだけにこだわらず、世界の代表的な食事パンをそろえる。現在、日本全 国に16店舗を展開する。

 シンガポール1号店は同施設内に開業する「Isetan Singapore Jurong East Shop」に入居。同施設はMRT東西線・南北線Jurong East駅やバスターミナルそばに開業することから交通アクセスが良く、郊外からのファミリー層の集客増加が見込めるという。

 商品は、日本の店舗でも人気の定番商品「バゲット」から、日本橋店限定販売の「日本橋黒糖ロール」まで約100 品を用意。約120平方メートルの店舗内には、店内に厨房(ちゅうぼう)を構え、焼きたてのパンを販売する「インストアベーカリー」の店舗形態を採用。 「シンガポールのお客さまに向けて日本のジョアンのクオリティーのままのサービスと商品を提供したい」と広報担当者。

 同社は、1985 年の主力ベーカリー「ドンク」での香港出店を皮切りに、中国や台湾など東アジアを中心に現在海外24店舗を展開。シンガポールでは昨年 5 月に「ドンク」 1 号店を出店し、売り上げも堅調に推移しているという。ジョアンブランドでの海外出店は上海に続く 7 店舗目(海外25店舗目)となる。

Singapore – Westgate (西城), the premier family and lifestyle mall located in Jurong East, will open its doors to shoppers on 2 December 2013. It will assemble an exciting array of fashion, lifestyle and F&B offerings under one roof, bringing brands that used to be the exclusive domain of shopping malls in town to the west of Singapore.

The seven-storey mall from Basement 2 to Level 5 houses more than 250 brands over a net lettable area of 410,000 square feet (“sq ft”), similar to Raffles City Singapore’s retail area. It is strategically located in the heart of the up-and-coming Jurong Gateway precinct, and is the only development with direct connections to both the Jurong East MRT and bus interchanges.
On the fashion and accessories front, premium brands opening at Westgate include Kate Spade Saturday, AƖX Armani Exchange, COS (Collection of Style), Giordano Ladies, Sacoor Brothers, GISELLAblu and Pandora. Global Work, a casual fashion brand from Japan catering to men, women and kids will be debuting in Singapore at Westgate.

In the beauty space, French cosmetics brand Yves Rocher, a pioneer in the use of plants and other natural elements in beauty products, will mark its Singapore debut at Westgate. Another popular French brand L’Occitane, will open its first store outside town at the mall.

About 25% of Westgate’s retail space has been set aside for F&B, presenting diners with a wide selection of about 60 restaurants, cafés and food kiosks. Popular F&B outlets opening their first branch outside the city at Westgate include Ippudo, Tonkatsu Ma Maison, Tsukada Nojo, Osaka Ohsho, Ryoshi Sushi Ikeikemaru, 4 Fingers, MK Steamboat and Royce. Huang Ji Huang, the popular stewed pot restaurant with about 400 outlets in China, will open its first overseas restaurant at Westgate. In addition, Tim Ho Wan, the popular dim sum restaurant from Hong Kong, will open a new branch at the mall.
Fans of Japanese cuisine will be delighted with Westgate’s significant cluster of Japanese restaurants. Excluding the Food Republic food court, about 30% of the mall’s dine-in F&B outlets are Japanese. These include new-to-market Kinoshita, the Osaka restaurant credited with igniting the teppan nabe (“hot iron pot”) food craze, and Robata Robata, a robatayaki grill concept developed by Singapore’s Shin Group.

Further enhancing the Japanese theme is anchor tenant Isetan, which will be opening its first supermarket outside Orchard Road at the mall.
The upscale supermarket will be the first in Singapore’s west to sell Japanese wagyu beef. It will feature a number of new concepts, including Johan Paris bakery, a popular Japanese bakery known for its traditional French breads; J-Dining, a Western delicatessen serving take-away meals; Nagomi Deli, a Japanese delicatessen counter; Coffee Station by UCC, which sells premium coffee beans from the top Japanese coffee factory; Fuji Flower Style, a Japanese florist; and Juice Bar by Yaoya, Singapore’s first Japanese fruit juice shop. At Bacchus, the wine store operated by wine specialist Don Tay, Isetan will introduce a sit-in counter that will allow customers to enjoy wines with ham and cheese from Tierney’s. Over at the department store, shoppers can look forward to popular Japanese fashion and lifestyle brands such as ans accessories, ladies wear labels Nice Claup, Majestic Legon, Cochinillo, Remind Me & Forever, and more.

More lifestyle offerings are available at anchor tenant Samsung’s largest and first triplex Samsung Experience Store in Singapore spanning about 6,000 sq ft.

The special standalone triplex store enjoys vantage visibility from Jurong East MRT station. Consumers will be able to enjoy interactive hands-on experience with the devices displayed in the store and trained Samsung Ambassadors will be on site to share tips relating to product usage and content applications across Samsung’s wide range of products including smartphones, tablets, cameras and selected range of after-market and original Samsung accessories. This is the first Samsung Experience Store that incorporates a bistro and beer garden, thus allowing consumers to grab a bite or have a drink while immersing in the Samsung experience.

In addition, book lovers can seek solace in Borders, which will be returning to Singapore under the management of Popular Holdings with an 8,000 sq ft store on Level 4. Fitness enthusiasts can visit Fitness First Platinum, which occupies 14,000 sq ft of space on Level 5.

For a limited time only, Westgate will be featuring pop-up stores showcasing local designers and more. Fashion designer Alfie Leong will be bringing back his well-received multi-label pop-up store Workshop Element (W.E.) at Westgate. Local designers participating in this showcase include AWOL, Womb, Ling Wu and Mash-Up. The Emporium, a multi-disciplinary collaboration between two homegrown businesses – Triologie (womenswear) and IndyK (womenswear, bags and shoes), together with brands such as Stones that Rock (ladies jewellery), Desti Saint (ladies handbags), furniture store Galanga Living and The Emporium Home – will also operate a pop-up store. In addition, local online shopping website Modajar will be holding a temporary showcase of its multi-label collection of designer men’s and women’s apparel, accessories and footwear sourced from Europe, United Kingdom and South Korea.

Engaging the community with social spaces and the arts
Beyond its retail and lifestyle offerings, Westgate seeks to promote family and social bonding with purpose-built community spaces.
These include Westgate Wonderland, the mall’s signature 11,000 sq ft thematic outdoor playground on Level 4, which will be open to the public for free. Shoppers who accumulate a minimum spend at Westgate can also redeem their children’s free admission to the Kids Club on Level 5, a supervised play area with a 4,600-sq ft outdoor playground and an indoor clubhouse. Both outdoor playgrounds will open in early 2014.

The heart of Westgate will be The Courtyard, a low-rise dining precinct which is built to resemble a vibrant shopping street with community spaces for people to meet and socialise. Shoppers can enjoy a unique idyllic dining experience amidst a garden setting at The Courtyard, which houses F&B outlets such as Paul Bakery, Brotzeit, Café Crema, Poulet, Miam Miam and Skinny Pizza.

Shoppers are welcome to take a pleasant stroll in The Courtyard along the Westgate art trail, which includes four sculptures installed at different spots. Taking pride of place at the mall entrance is The Panda Family sculpture by French pop art artist Julien Marinetti, who is known for using his bronze sculptures as three-dimensional canvas. The specially commissioned art piece features a family of four pandas in a sitting posture. The panda subject hints at the proximity of Westgate to the Chinese Garden, whose pagoda and pavilions have long been prominent in the landscape of Jurong. The other three sculptures are caricatures by Belgium artist Kirk De Keyzer, who gave his signature playful twist to snapshots of mundane daily activities, namely The Loudspeaker, The Walk and The Tightrope Walker.

Adding to the convivial atmosphere at The Courtyard will be performances by endorsed buskers under the National Arts Council Busking Scheme. In fact, Westgate enjoys the distinction of being the first mall in Singapore to feature such endorsed buskers within its premises. This sets it apart from other shopping malls, where busking currently takes place at the public pedestrian areas outside the malls.

Ms Wee Su Lin, Development Manager of Westgate, said, “After two years in the making, we are excited to unveil Westgate as the premier family and lifestyle mall in Jurong East. We are pleased to work with established and new entrant retailers to bring city lifestyle to the western part of Singapore, as well as deliver original offerings that fulfill the potential of our strategic location in the up-and-coming Jurong Gateway precinct. We hope that the mall’s extensive retail and lifestyle offerings, together with its shopper-centric social spaces, will anchor Westgate firmly in the community and become the place where families living in the west and beyond, can enjoy themselves and spend the day.”

Welcoming shoppers with opening specials
To celebrate the mall’s opening, Westgate and its tenants will launch a series of exciting events and promotions.

As a start, Isetan will hold its popular Hokkaido Harvest Fair and Sanrio Christmas Fair for a limited period from 2 December 2013. Shoppers who spend a minimum of $30 at Isetan will have the chance to purchase a 7-inch Hello Kitty Garden Plush at a special price of $9.90. Isetan is also slated to bring Japan’s creative lifestyle store Tokyu Hands to Westgate from 6 to 12 January 2014.

Headlining the series of opening performances is stunt troupe Japanese Samurai Gangsters, who will take to the stage at the mall’s Basement 2 from 2 to 9 December 2013. During the weekend of 14 and 15 December 2013, shoppers can catch talent showcases put up by students from mall tenants Yamaha Music School and The Ballet School.

For a magical performance befitting of the festive season, get ready to be mesmerised by the lifelikeness of Bjorn the animated polar bear, which will interact with shoppers in an ice sculpture environment at selected timings from 14 to 22 December 2013.

To thank shoppers for their support, Westgate will be giving away attractive prizes to lucky shoppers. The first 5,000 CAPITASTAR members who spend a minimum of $200 will stand to win one of 300 Taraba crabs from Hokkaido worth $168 each, or a $10 shopping voucher. Shoppers can also take part in the CAPITASTAR Draw Lucky game on Level 2 and stand a chance to win more attractive prizes (www.winwithcapitastar.sg). To encourage shoppers to reduce their carbon footprint, CAPITASTAR members who take public transport to the mall on the weekends from 2 December 2013 to 31 January 2014 stand to receive bonus STAR$ under the mall’s Ride and Redeem promotion.

Bedok mall is pale in comparison to Westgate..


CAPITAMALLS Asia will open two new shopping havens next week, one on each side of the island.
On Monday, the shutters will go up at Westgate in Jurong East.
The seven-storey mall will have a net lettable area of 410,000 square feet, roughly the size of Raffles City's retail area.
The opening of the mall will also mark the return of Borders, now under the management of Popular Holdings, to Singapore. The bookstore will occupy 8,000 square feet.
The mall will have a strong Japanese flavour in its food and beverage offerings. About 30 per cent of its dine-in outlets are Japanese, including restaurants new to Singapore such as Kinoshita from Osaka, a teppan nabe (hot iron pot) restaurant, and a robatayaki grill restaurant Robata Robata.
Anchor tenant Isetan will also open its first supermarket outside Orchard road. It will include Johan Paris bakery, a popular Japanese bakery known for traditional French breads; J-Dining, which sells Western take-away meals; and Nagomi Deli, Japanese delicatessen counter.
Another anchor tenant, Samsung, will open a 6,000 sq ft Samsung Experience store - the largest in the country - which will include a bistro and a beer garden.
Westgate is directly linked to the MRT and bus interchanges, and also has a 20-storey office tower called Westgate Tower.
There are two other CapitaMalls in Jurong. Neighbouring JCube has Singapore's only Olympic-sized ice rink while IMM Building has been repositioned as the largest outlet mall in Singapore.
In the east, Bedok Mall will open on Tuesday. Comprising about 200 shops across three levels, the mall has 220,000 sq ft, the size of Junction 8.
Besides established brands such as Cache Cache, Charles & Keith, Dorothy Perkins, G2000 and Levi's, the mall will see new entrants into Singapore.
These include Sembonia, a Malaysian leather brand that is opening its flagship store, and Korean and European style women's fashion store Roem.
Popular US buffalo chicken wings franchise Wingstop will open its first Asian store here, as well as Guan Chee Hong Kong Roast, which is opening its first standalone restaurant after having found success in food courts.
Bedok Mall is directly linked to the MRT station, while a new air-conditioned bus interchange which opens next year will sit above it.

JLD are not limited to people living in jurong because people from all over Singapore do come to Jurong for work and now to shop. In terms of spending power, Jurong has got one of the highest percentage of middle age residents, and this is the group which high spending power.

Please stop acting and talking like a childish idiot trying to argue something out of nothing because we all know that the western region is the one of the largest employment hub in Singapore providing good and decent jobs to people from all over Singapore and that Singaporeans will travel to all corners of Singapore just to eat and shop.

Go ask your friends and neighbour who have not been to IMM Jurong Point and Jem..
