I'm not sure if you realised, our habitat is getting worse. The environmental damage & abuse of our already limited natural sources of engery is ongoing everyday, God knows how long we can keep it going.
With global warming & the waning of our energy sources, experts & scientists have predicted that the end is nearing and could happen within this century or the next.
Indeed, we are are still taking things easy. No sign of worrying or scrabbling among us as yet. Of course, that's understandable. The population of Singapore is so sheltered under the "great wing" of protection under the ruling party, PAP. It's no wonder, they are not at all worried or having the jitters yet, until PAP says so.
If we look at how the major blackout last week left almost 3/4 of Singapore in complete darkness, it just shows how vulnerable our small island is. Anyone harbouring the thought of dealing Singapore with a blow to the economy & internationally can just strategise to bring the natural gas supply from Indonesia to a halt & disrupt the water supply from Malaysia. There, we would be without electricity & water. The 2 most fundamentals of our daily essentials.
To think that we have always professed ourselves to be the business/economy hub of South East Asia & a cosmopolitian country. What would we be if we are without the sources of energy & water from neighbouring countries.
Probably it's time for us to ponder upon instead of being just being contented with being the "best" in the region.
