Singapore is a country run like a company - everything the gahmen do, its about costs and returns. Just look at the reports - everytime there is announcements of gahmen's plans and policies, there is a mention of costs - eg: gahmen spend 400K to intro butterflies to Orchard. Why the fuck mention 400K? Why can't just report - Gahmen plans to intro butterflies?

We laymen don't fuck care 400K is spent...what is the message here? Telling us how much gahmen is spending?



Again the report is

<!-- story content : start --> THE PUB is spending $25,000 to install five debris-trap gratings at Stamford Canal to prevent future floods. All five will be in place by Friday. Last week, massive floods hit the prime Orchard Road shopping belt because of a clogged drain at the canal, which is meant to clear water away from Orchard Road.

After the flood, the national water agency said it would install more of these grates along Stamford Canal and step up maintenance checks at the canal to once a month, from once every three to six months. The PUB is spending $150 million a year for the next five years to upgrade drainage infrastructure, it said last week. Gratings are placed in strategic areas picked by PUB engineers who model the water flow in canals.

The five new zig-zag gratings, which catch debris without stopping water flow, are in open drains (for easy maintenance) at Camp Road, Napier Road near Minden Road, Nassim Road, Grange Road and Tanglin Road. They add to the Marina Reservoir catchment's 100 existing gratings and 26 float booms (to catch flotsam) at the mouths of canals.
