HDB and Condominium are adapting to vacuum waste removal system. It is a mature technology used in commercial projects. The below is an overview on how the system can link up a cluster of flats.
The main advantages that you will see is pest like cockroaches will not be crawling out of your common bin chute. As it is vacuum, there is negative pressure within the chute system. Everything inside will be suck towards the main dumpster. This also increase the productivity and waste removal cost.
The disadvantages is user must cable tie the trash bag. There should be no exposure where the waste will drop out of the trash bag. Else the system will choke up and increase the maintenance cost of system for town council and managing agents.

It is not easy to find the traditional street shoe cobbler who can repair your leather shoes and sport shoes with the most economical cost.
My shoe cobbler had its own station at one of the HDB void deck. He had help me to replace both my soles, touch up the bottom wear out front part and polishing for just $12. I definely can’t get this price at the HDB shop or shopping mall.
Traditional shoe cobbler with his own station.
The cobbler help me to reuse my leather shoes and not end up in a rubbish dump. If the cobbler is from the shopping mall, I would give up repair and buy a new leather shoes due to the cost of repair. 40% of the cost they charge actually goes to the rental that they need to pay. We shall treasure all these cobblers as they will disappear from the street once they reach their retirement age.
Singapore does not allowed these street cobblers from an economy point of view. The other business owners who rent shops in HDB or shopping mall will not like it as they pay rental while they are rent free. But they do not disturb these street cobblers as they are more than 60 years old and earning a living for themself.
If it is a young cobbler in the 30s or 40s, I guarantee the authority will come down to advise him to close shop.

Vesak Day traditional three steps one pray and the Chinese called it 三步一拜. It is a 2 hour event held at temples across Singapore.
The buddhists are lining up the street to get ready for the three steps one pray. I will not be able to provide you the picture as I am in the event also.
This is to cleanse our bad deeds that we may have committed over the past year. It is a testament of our endurance as we walk three steps and then kneel on the floor with the head down.
You may visit any big temples in Singapore to watch this procession carry out by the Buddhist followers. It is usually carry out in the late evening or at night.
It is the Bukit Batok by election cooling day. The voters will consider seriously before going to the polling station tomorrow. Is Dr Chee and SDP going to be the 2nd opposition party to run the estate for the next four years?

The usage of Near Field Communication (NFC) for payment is a convenient method. But this innovation technology is going to fail once again even with the pushed by IDA.
WHY?
The reason is simple and boiled down to dollars and cents and others as highlighted below.
1. Consumers will not be paying $37.45 to purchase a NFC Sim Card to use the contactless payment.
2. The e-wallet had a validity of 5 years only. Isn’t this a scheme to made more money from the consumers
3. Payment of $5 EZ Link registration fee. But I believe most telcos will wave it off.
4. Limited number of NFC smartphones to support the application.
In view of the above reasons, the project will not going to be a successful. But if NFC Sim Card are provided free of charge to consumers, then it will be a viable project. Our telcos will not absorb the charges unless the government paid for it.
EZ Link cannot even made its current app to work on all NFC enable smartphones to check their EZ-Card value. I am not confident on how they are going to made this a success. They still have a lot to learn from how HongKong partner on the Octpus Card.
We will update the feasibility of this project in a year time.

The ERP Gantry System had been managing the road congestion by charging a fixed price set down by LTA. This had been in place since 1998. It is going to change in 2020 with the award of the tender by LTA to use the satellite system.
The new system will remove the limitations of the physical gantry. It will made use of the satellite to track your vehicles and charges according to the distance driven on the congested road.
LTA will have the capability to easily identified a congested road and deploy the charging system within months. It is now all seamlessly done as no gantry need to be fixed up. They will just need to add enforcement cameras or beacons for underground travel.
The on board unit will replace our IU unit and the fee will be borne by the government. Now the government can track all the movement of our cars anywhere in Singapore. It is like playing Big Brother.
