Will Vivian overspend 3X overbudget for anti-flood measures to cost $2.2billlion?

[Confuseous]

Actually, that's the worrying part. This is the guy who was given $104 million to spend for YOG and ended up with a bloated $387 million expense. Of which $79.8 million was parked as "Other Costs", an accounting entry that was not even picked up for query by the Auditor General. Yet the then 50-year-old, who was heading the Ministry of Community Development, Youth and Sports (MCYS), insisted that his team "did not overspend or waste or squander the $387 million budget" allocated to the project - note the sneaky slight of hand here, actual $387m amount expended (per report card presented in parliament) equals exactly the revised $387m budget proposed (supposedly figure approved by PM Lee).

Those polymer linings, can they really work? The PUB engineers should not take the Expert Panel word for it. The canal is quite large compared to the laminar layer. They should do an actual laminar flow calculation.
