racism
poverty traffic pollution
in the world there are so many countries
with
problems it seems like every country and
every person is
filled with problems so
who has the solutions to answer that
question i decided to put my pride aside
and go learn from a country
that has the same problems as all of us
but has managed
to find solutions
because this is the incredible story of
the almost
perfect country of
singapore in singapore
many races live the indians the malay
chinese and eurasians and because people
of different races might disagree and
hate each other
singapore forced all of them to live
together
in buildings on top of each other next
to each other
so instead of enemies they are neighbors
and because of this singapore built a
racial harmony
that many many countries don't have
traffic many countries also suffer from
traffic it's the worst in singapore
they had traffic until they fixed it
in singapore they limited the number of
cars on the road
the number of cars total in the entire
country
can not increase many people instead of
cars
take public transportation and very few
people are stuck in traffic
pollution is another environmental
problem
landfills look and smell disgusting in
many many countries
but in singapore they do not because
they take their trash they burn it
filter out the smoke
collect the ashes and dump them under
water
in a man-made island instead of this
the island looks like this their trash
island is so clean
it looks like a resort
another problem is fresh water so
much of it is wasted
but not in singapore these guys built an
entire system that takes their poo and
pee
water you know this and turns into clean
water that humans can drink
and when you drink water that used to be
poo
you realize water should never ever
be wasted again
when i saw the way they built and do
things from
water systems to air force to buildings
to gardens i
was amazed because all of the problems
above
they solved in 53 years since they
gained
independence and you didn't hear that
from me
you heard it from the prime minister
himself
hi i'm the prime minister this is what
we have been building in singapore for
53 years
and we'll be building it for many more
years to come
don't get me wrong singapore still has a
lot of problems
with no solutions that i know of they
too
suffer from inequality high prices
and tight security many elderly people
still can't afford to retire
many imported foreign workers are very
low paid
and the government can be too
restrictive
even gum is illegal
singapore has many problems but unlike
many
they are trying to fix them that's why
their passport is the strongest
their seaport is the second busiest
water is the cleanest
airport is the greatest landfills are
the prettiest
and people are the friendliest
i arrived in singapore saying i
hate singapore
because i was jealous but now i'm
leaving singapore
saying i love singapore
because there's a lot we can learn from
them if they can solve
so many problems in only 53 years
then why can't we
