Response: No, although they claim to have cleaned the bacteria, you wouldn't eat a random worm on the ground , unhygenic.

you wouldn't want to eat an insect that looks spiky and disgusting

Response: it is already a big food source in thailand, it has the potential to be more of a snack in Singapore

it's too small, you would have to eat a high amount just to obtain the same amount of nutrients, and to feel full

some people will focus on the positives but some (like me) will still view it negatively

No. According to studies, students will lose 40% of their knowledge during the school holiday as most of them tends to game a lot and not revise what they have learnt in school days during school holidays. Students will miss their friends during the school holiday and although they can call their friends virtually. It is better for their eyes as they will spend less time on their gadget and friends can be a good teacher or counsellor when they are in school or need help.

What is the purpose of mentioning the importance of limiting negative impacts on wildlife after mentioning the two kingfishers' deaths?

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
While Singapore is moving onto the next phase of clean-up of the Pasir Panjang oil spill, there might be a time-lag when it comes to its impacts on local biodiversity.

It will thus take time for the government to assess its long-term environmental impact, Minister for National Development Desmond Lee stated during a press conference on Jun. 24.

The government has taken preventive measures like the deployment of booms to protect biodiversity-sensitive areas such as Chek Jawa Wetlands at Pulau Ubin, and Coney Island Park as well as Pasir Ris Park.

These areas have thus far been unaffected by the oil spill.

Volunteers have also been deployed at East Coast Park and West Coast Park to aid National Parks Board (NParks) staff in looking out for oil-slicked wildlife.

Wildlife, kingfishers in particular, drenched in oil were spotted when the oil spill first occurred.

Unfortunately, two of the four oil-slicked kingfishers rescued have died.

Nevertheless, Lee added that "prompt action and close cooperation with the nature community" has limited the impact of the oil spill on Singapore's coastal and marine biodiversity and habitats.

Long-term effects on sensitive species

Lee added that the oil spill situation "remains dynamic", and some of the impacts on biodiversity and habitats may only show up later.

The effects on sensitive species such as corals, seagrasses and sea stars may only become visible weeks or months later, such as during spawning periods.

Lee recalled the last major oil spill impacting Chek Jawa in 2017, and noted that while Singapore's habitats are "relatively resilient", recovery still took a few months.

In the case of an oil spill in 2010, seagrasses and coral reefs at Tanah Merah started recovering after a year.

Conducting surveys to monitor impact

Lee revealed that he recently held a closed-door discussion with representatives from 30 nature and community groups, organisations and Institutes of Higher Learning, together with Baey Yam Keng, Senior Parliamentary Secretary in the Ministry of Sustainability and the Environment and the Ministry of Transport.

The government will be working closely with these partners in the next phase of managing the oil spill.

Intertidal and subtidal surveys, and biodiversity impact surveys, will be conducted at affected sites.

Marine experts as well as volunteers from the Friends of Marine Park, along with NParks, are involved in surveys on St John's Island and Lazarus Island to track the impact of the oil spill on biodiversity.

Additionally, experts from the National University of Singapore, Nanyang Technological University and St John's Island National Marine Lab, have commenced surveys at the Southern Islands and Labrador Nature Reserve.

Meanwhile, Mandai Wildlife Group, Singapore Veterinary Association, Acres, and the S.E.A. Aquarium who have a pool of veterinarians will be supporting wildlife rescue and rehabilitation efforts.

The Bird Society of Singapore and Otter Watch will also help educate the public on the dos and don'ts when spotting oil-slicked wildlife.

"We will sustain these efforts jointly over the next few months, and check-in regularly with our partners along the way to take stock of our progress and our findings," Lee said.

In a beautiful, remote part of Mexico, a huge crocodile gave a swimmer the shock of his life when it chased him to shore. He frantically tried to reach the beach while the massive animal stalked him.

Above on Boca Panila Bridge, panicked tourists watched in horror as the man made a beeline for dry land. A quick-thinking onlooker threw a big object into the water that stopped the snapper in his tracks.

People think that a man named Manuel Carrea may have filmed this and he hoped that the footage would advise tourists not to feed the local wildlife. They certainly might think twice about it now!

Mr Wong will also have to do this with an acute sense of how to communicate these changes to the public, especially potentially unpopular or contentious ones.
He and the 4G team have tried to signal that they have their ears to the ground with the Forward SG exercise. He also said recently that they will engage the public to explain the government’s thinking behind policies.
If successful, this will translate into a more open and two-way communication between government and citizens.

Beyond these bread-and-butter issues, the 4G will also be heading into their first election facing a more vocal population, a stronger opposition, more diverse concerns and an uncertain geopolitical environment.

Externally, there will be difficulties in navigating the uncertain environment. But Mr Wong has assured Singaporeans that he will respond to these challenges while also finding opportunities for Singapore to continue to excel.

Domestically, it may no longer be enough for the ruling party to introduce policy with minimal public engagement, regardless of how well thought-out it is. Changing social norms, a more politically mature public and a more active citizenry online and offline mean that public opinion will become an increasingly important aspect of political and policy receptivity.

A platform for views from different quarters to be aired and considered would be productive. This is especially since Mr Wong has stated that the new leadership is prepared to re-examine all assumptions in refreshing Singapore's social compact.

In his speech at the handover ceremony, Mr Wong promised to serve Singaporeans with all his heart, to never settle for status quo, and always seek to make tomorrow better than today.

After May 15, the stage is his, and Singaporeans will have front row seats in seeing how he will lead us in building a Singapore where "everyone can be the best possible version of themselves".
