Thoughts on Doctor Goh Keng Swee

After reading many articles on Doctor Goh K.S. , I've really gotta hand it to him. Without him, there won't be Singapore today, such as :
- The proper education system
- The Jurong Industrial Estate
- Underwater World Singapore
- Singapore Zoo
- Jurong Bird Park
- Singapore Symphony Orchestra
and many more.

He has raise the standard of living in Singapore tremendously and hence affecting positively on the quality of life of the Singaporeans. Without all those projects that he was responsible, Singapore's economy growth would not be as great compared to the previous years. I really look up to him as he's good in his academic since young which allows him to achieve the University of London scholarship and also his perseverance when he was almost fired from his job before he helped out Singapore in politics.

Pros and Cons of having NEWater

Advantages :
  • Singapore would not be dependant for Malaysia for water anymore as Malaysia may threaten to terminate the contract in order to comprimise in their favour. And also, be independant.
  • The design of NEWater is good because it saves space and is energy-efficient which means unesscessary money is wasted.
  • It will be a good avenue for young singaporeans to be innovative in.
  • NEWater can help other countries that have water shortages
  • Other countries are learning and/or buying the NEWater's technology, which means NEWater will be able to make a profit

Disadvantages :

  • Many singaporeans may not support NEWater because many aren't used to the water made my NEWater.
  • The cost and materials required for NEWater's technology could be expensive
  • The product of NEWater is costly.
