Hi guys,

I lived in Singapore since 1975 (more than 44 years ago & witnessed its transformation. I have also stayed in Penang for 2 years & visited Hong Kong as a tourist

And these are my observations

A TALE OF 3 ISLANDS IN THE SUN

HONG KONG ISLAND

Islands are expensive! And Hong Kong Island is one of the most expensive places on earth. The other is Tokyo

I visited both Hong Kong & Tokyo and stayed in their hotels. When I stretched my right hand upward I could touch the ceiling!!

The ceiling is only about 8 feet from the ground!

That speaks of huge scarcity of space in Hong Kong

Why so?

Because Hong Kong for the most part is hilly. And the Rich owns much of the prime lands. These hilly lands are kept as they are by the Hong Kong Govt. The rich have no interest to release their precious landbanks. So that scarcity cause price to be elevated and constantly going up

See Hong Kong hilly terrain

AS A RESULT THE PEOPLE OF HONG KONG ARE LIVING IN A PRESSURE COOKER

FOR OLDER POORER FOLKS THEY LIVE IN IRON CAGES

What is he thinking? What kind of a future living inside a cage?

In other countries animals live in cages against their will

Here in Hong Kong people willingly chose to live inside a cage?

THE DEPLORABLE FUTURE OF 250 SQ FT FLAT COSTING RM3 MILLIONS HAVE MADE HOUSING OUT OF REACH FOR MANY IN PRESSURE COOKER HONG KONG

NOW PEOPLE IN HONG KONG ARE PROTESTING 

NOT SINCE THE DAYS OF THE FRENCH REVOLUTION IS THERE SUCH A TOTAL REVOLT BY THE MASSES

2) PENANG ISLAND

HAPHAZARD DEVELOPMENTS BY VESTED INTEREST OF PRIVATE INDIVIDUALS

NO CENTRAL PLANNING

LIKE A PASAR? OR KUMPUNG MENTALITY?

NO WONDER PENANG ISLAND EXPERIENCED FLOODING

HOW COME?

PENANG HILL & SURROUNDED BY WATERS?

WHY?

ALL MAN MADE

BETTER MIGRATE TO ISKANDAR HOR!

3) SINGAPORE

IN YEAR 1975 I WATCHED FROM MT FABER. AN ENTIRE HILL CALLED BUKIT MERAH (RED HILL) IN SINGAPORE WAS UNDER EXCAVATION

WHOA!

THEY BULLDOZED AN ENTIRE HILL?

FOR WHAT?

NOW I KNOW

THEY DID 2 THINGS

CUT DOWN HILLS TO MAKE WAY FOR BUILDINGS

SEE BUKIT MERAH (GOT NO BUKIT TODAY)

AND AFTER CUTTING RED HILL WHERE DID THE SOIL FROM THE HILL GOES

AHA SEE BELOW

SINGAPORE USED THE SOIL CUT FROM HILLS ALL OVER THE ISLAND TO RECLAIM LANDS FROM THE SEA

VERY CLEVER HOR! THIS SINGAPORE GOVT?
