Recently, a friend opened up on his life in South East Asia. He says he has been to Singapore, China and Tokyo in the past few months. He says of all the places he enjoyed his stay in Singapore.
The country is 1/8 th of Srilanka which means that it is smaller than our smallest state of Goa. The state is unbelievably clean and they have building laws which requires every building in the country to be maintained and repainted in 5 years. He said that in the Airport, there is a sign board which says that Singapore is a FINE city. FINE is written in RED which means that the people are required to pay fines to make the city fine. Even Chewing guns are banned in the country. Smoking is also banned and there is a limit on the amount of garbage to be generated per capita. The local languages are english, chinese, malaya and Tamil. There are sign board even in Tamil.
He told about Tokyo construction that labour costs are pretty high in Japan that they opt for mechanised construction. This has to be the scenario in Kerala, India also. They should mechanise construction and also the house hold activities in order to cope up with the ever increasing labour charges. He mentioned on the demolition process in Japan where in a building is brought down using hydraulic jack.
