Ans: The place in Singapore I like is Gardens By The Bay. It is very beautiful and it is like an imagination paradise when you are there because the atmosphere will significantly change and you can experience a whole new place in Singapore with modern infrastructure. This leads to the LTA Master Plan 2040 with the new cycling and walking pathways.]]> 2023-02-02 14:17:47 UTC https://padlet.com/isaac_low_wee_teck1/ejkwkz5zky08brf3/wish/2466189164 isaac_low_wee_teck1 https://padlet.com/isaac_low_wee_teck1/ejkwkz5zky08brf3/wish/2467149154 Qn: A place outside of Singapore which brings meaning to you.
Ans: The Eiffel tower brings me memories because it's very tall. Its super tall and reaches an extraordinary height.

Ans: My chosen park is Gardens By The Bay. It is a park that spans across 101 hectares (250 acres) which stretches around the Central Region of Singapore, also adjacent to the Marina Reservoir. It is split into 3 regions: Bay South Garden (Marina South), Bay East Garden (in Marina East) and Bay Central Garden (in Downtown Core and Kallang). The Garden is about 11 years old as of 2023. 1 Million plants exist in Gardens By The Bay.

Qn: How has COVID-19 impacted the people and nature?

Ans: The pandemic has left everyone an opportunity to be able to explore nature's surprises. This has led to people in other countries, including Singapore, to do ways to conserve the precious nature and preserve the environment. The people can then explore greater environmental aspects of the country so that they can appreciate the natural environment around them unlike others who take it for granted. Those people cannot appreciate the nature because they take it for granted and destroy the natural environment. So we should really appreciate the nature flora and fauna around us so we can treasure these living matter which benefits us.]]> 2023-02-26 09:35:42 UTC https://padlet.com/isaac_low_wee_teck1/ejkwkz5zky08brf3/wish/2495171598 isaac_low_wee_teck1 https://padlet.com/isaac_low_wee_teck1/ejkwkz5zky08brf3/wish/2495172879 Qn: Which park is your preferred one in your opinion?

Ans: A day spent at Singapore Quarry can be an awe-inspiring experience, with its clear blue waters and lush green surroundings providing a picturesque setting for a peaceful day out. Walking along the trails around the quarry, one can observe the varied flora and fauna that call the area home, with birds chirping and butterflies fluttering around.
Reflecting on the day spent at Singapore Quarry, one might feel grateful for the opportunity to experience a very natural beauty and appreciate the efforts taken to preserve it. Also serves as a reminder of the importance of protecting the environment and the need for sustainable practices in our daily lives.
My experience at Singapore Quarry was a very memorable experience. The experience on the trail definitely did not feel like Singapore and feels surreal because the atmosphere is very much better and the natural environment there is very good.
Overall, a day at Singapore Quarry can be a rejuvenating experience, allowing one to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of city life and reconnect with nature.]]> 2023-02-26 10:36:21 UTC https://padlet.com/isaac_low_wee_teck1/ejkwkz5zky08brf3/wish/2495193824 neo_rayyang1 https://padlet.com/isaac_low_wee_teck1/ejkwkz5zky08brf3/wish/2495764897 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYu4la7WZLI

--Reflection--
-SG is trying to reduce the Wild Boar's natural habitat by modifying their habitats and taking action against people who do interact with them.
-Despite working out flawlessly, it is also on the rise that humans are having more interactions with them which could potentially get them harmed by the wild boars.
-They have installed 30 cameras to watch out for endangerement in the Central Catchment Natural Reserve. It is also growing while located in Bukit Batok, Tuas, Punggol, etc. 
-There is insufficient studying in the wild boars' lives so that is why they still harm others.
-Situations and problems like emerging wild boar clusters and birth rates of the wild boars affect the public's lives. They also take people's food even though the general public have already stopped feeding them.]]> 2023-02-27 04:07:35 UTC https://padlet.com/isaac_low_wee_teck1/ejkwkz5zky08brf3/wish/2495769446 isaac_low_wee_teck1 https://padlet.com/isaac_low_wee_teck1/ejkwkz5zky08brf3/wish/2496022171 https://padlet.com/isaac_low_wee_teck/my-sense-of-place-hhi8cpqiiiqw3grl]]> 2023-02-27 08:51:46 UTC https://padlet.com/isaac_low_wee_teck1/ejkwkz5zky08brf3/wish/2496022171 isaac_low_wee_teck1 https://padlet.com/isaac_low_wee_teck1/ejkwkz5zky08brf3/wish/2500597107 https://coggle.it/diagram/Y-m2ovQAxOlH08_H/t/-]]> 2023-03-02 05:33:53 UTC https://padlet.com/isaac_low_wee_teck1/ejkwkz5zky08brf3/wish/2500597107 isaac_low_wee_teck1 https://padlet.com/isaac_low_wee_teck1/ejkwkz5zky08brf3/wish/2500604309 https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/13-MhfQ35-Rb8eE0k9Y-fnQcD0gVKVgEcnmmZy_DERsE/edit#slide=id.g126c1565b16_0_18]]> 2023-03-02 05:42:59 UTC https://padlet.com/isaac_low_wee_teck1/ejkwkz5zky08brf3/wish/2500604309 https://padlet.com/isaac_low_wee_teck1/ejkwkz5zky08brf3/wish/2521672859 In parliamentary sittings, MPs debate and discuss about major issues such as proposed legislation, government policies, and national affairs.

Countries with larger GDPs will have a larger amount of goods and services generated within them, and will generally have a higher standard of living. For this reason, many citizens and political leaders see GDP growth as a crucial factor of national success, often referring to GDP growth and economic groth vice versa. Due to various limitations, however, many economists have argued that GDP should not be used as a proxy for overall economic success, much less the reputation of a society.
