20111029 Drop the Old  Feeble  Moral Education - Lively Effective way is here http://bettersingapore.blogspot.com/2011/10/20111029-drop-feeble-old-moral.html Background Drop the boring Moral Education. It has been tried by mothers and teachers, saints and emperors,  for thousands years, it did not succeed. Often it devolves into teaching of courtesy  礼, which many knows most comprehensively prescribed by Confucius. Courtesy 礼 is  perceived by Lao Tze  (the originator of Tao, whom Confucius went to seek his teaching)  as the indication of thinning out of Loyalty and Trust, also courtesy is the heading into chaos.   夫礼者， 忠信之薄，而乱之首。 Confucius' teachings therefore were severely criticized   occasionally in Chinese history . How can there be any valid reason moral education of old can succeed in today's very real, very materialistic world. Material is about survival, about comfort, about enjoyment, they are more real...

Floods at Shenton Way today  2010 09 08 http://bettersingapore.blogspot.com/2011/10/20100908-floods-at-shenton-way-today.html http://www.sgpolitics.net/?p=4273 September 8, 2010 by  admin Filed under:  Current Affairs and Politics   08 September 2010 There have been floods at Shenton Way this morning. This is the umpteenth time this year flooding has happened in the city area and the outskirts as a result of heavy rain. Clearly the Marina Barrage has not been effective at all in preventing flooding. If anything, flooding has actually increased dramatically after it was put in operation. Sgpolitics.net calls for immediate ACCOUNTABILITY on the part of the PAP Government. We need an explanation why flooding is happening so frequently and what the authorities are going to do about it. Since the first floods struck the Orchard Road area a few months back, the government has had ample time to prepare and make adjustments to their monitoring of the drainage system. Clea...

20111027 Shenton Way Flood - Its Deeper Implications http://bettersingapore.blogspot.com/2011/10/20111027-shenton-way-flood-its-deeper.html Two Points and Three Wisdom from Founders' Drainage Design Codes Point One Photographer reported at the Asia Sq , one side of the rd the water was flooding fast but the opposite side across the road the water subsided very fast also This shows that one of the drains is totally choked. Our floods subside very fast, even before rain stop. One logical explanation is the high water pressure, caused by flood, push away obsticles in the drains, silts, leaves, rubbish. Our water way therefore has enough capacity. Our water way is too complex, costly to monitor, cleanse. Point 2 Massive floods comes only after ABC Projects swing into place . A $2 Billion dollars over the last decades did not include recent investment in  massive ABC projects, Bishan, Dawson, etc. http://bettersingapore.blogspot.com/2011/10/20101018-pu...
