I see that many Singaporeans using packets of tissue papers or other items to place on tables in a food centre.
I think by placing these items on the tables, it is meant as a signal that the particular tables have been reserved by the individuals who have placed the items. Why do we need to show this signal? Is it a sense of being ‘kiasu’ (afraid to lose)?
I wonder if these people have the rights to reserve the tables. Is this an ugly side of Singaporeans? Do the people of Hong Kong have the same habit too?

Tembusu Tree

Featured on Singapore’s $5 note – illustrate Singapore as a “Garden City”

Tembusu tree is “highly robust and can grow even in poorly drained, clayey soils". A symbol which shows that the people of Singapore can be resilient like the tree.

Natural site
Important places for migratory birds and more of a natural, conservation place where Singaporeans can observe nature in its true form.
Is protecting the reserve important? The land in Singapore is scarce. Why do we still want to protect the reserve? What are the advantages or disadvantages to keeping Sungei Buloh?

*Teachers can lead students to think more about Singapore’s greener urban planning through conservation of natural plots of land. Clear vision set by the government in creating a clean and green city.

I see an interactive bus route

I think the bus route provides us with information so that we can plan our trip better.I think that way because I check SGTransport app at home before making my way down to the bus stop.

I wonder Where does the information about the bus come from?

*MyTransport.SG is one of the apps of Smart Nation.SG.

A lot of man-made items Create an attraction for tourists and general public.

Focus on the interaction between technology and visitors.

How ecological friendly is the park? What is the purpose if a lot of man-made structures are put in place? More for Leisure and Entertainment.

Teachers to guide that the wetland park was put in place to compensate for the ecological lost due to the Tin Shui Wai New Town development. Purpose of wetland – raise public awareness?

I see that it looks like our Bus in Singapore. It has the same amenities: eg CCTV, Ergonomic seats, Bum Rest, LED panels display tram stop names with loudspeakers broadcast.

I think the Tram is an representation of great engineering design.Focus on the use of modern technology to benefit users.

I wonder if we should we have a bus map route installed nearfront stairs for passenger information?

Teachers to guide that the Tram route map is already implemented for MRT systems.

*Extension for students
(Why does Singapore buses not have a route map?)
