Currently I am working in Singapore at a nursing home. Originally from Sri Lanka. I feel shamed of my own country when I see how far this little country is thinking in to the future for the generations to come. How creative they are in forming new opportunities and whatsoever that the people would look for. And the discipline within the nation is beyond expectancy even though there are some bitter incidents in time to time. But, overall, the whole country is very positive thinking and well mannered. Those people back in Sri Lanka have lot more to learn from this small country. I am really proud how Singapore thinks for their own people and their future.

As a Singaporean, I don't think Sri Lankans have anything to be ashamed about. We were fortunate to grow up in a country that gave us opportunities. We were lucky that the smartest people in the land were inspired to go into government in the post-colonial era -- the smartest people would not go into politics today. My grandparents were simple villagers who were lifted out of kampungs and poverty. They worked hard, even if it was the sort of labour most city people wouldn't consider important work. In short, every family who lived in Singapore during the last few decades got lucky. Sri Lankans have so many difficulties to contend with today, and it is by no fault of the ordinary people. Someone who hustles hard to provide for their family cannot be considered ill-disciplined in the first place.

Several discrepancies about TBM's. The TBM would move an elephant hahaha. A TBM would move a herd of elephants and several herds of cows + the farmers. The TBM costs a $1,000,000 hahaha. Maybe a very old and used TBM. A 6m mixshield TBM, as featured here, would cost at least $10,000,000 approximately. Depending on the size (diameter) and type of TBM they can cost much more. The 6m mixshield TBM featured in the video would advance at 3m an hour hahaha. This is not possible with this size and type of TBM. It leads you to believe that a 900m tunnel would be excavated in 300 hours or 12½ days. The truth is a 900m tunnel would take about 6 - 8 months depending on geology/breakdowns/dependability of supply of usables. I have work on tunnels in Singapore on 3 occasions.

Yes everything is there, shopping centres and everything, but you need to hold a good job in order to earn good money, an above average income, which equate to a 'happy' life. If not you'll be bunking in an ordinary pigeon style pigeon hole style flat dwellings which endlessly dotted the hinterlands of the island.

In Malaysia they are boring tunnel towards Bank negara.

Sharp edged aggregate should result in stronger concrete. The aggregates resist shear I'm guessing. This applies directly to asphalt where smooth rock will result in roads that constantly shift. Sharp rocks keep everything locked in place.

Those shafts are going to make great surge tanks for storm drainage as well. These infrastructure works are going to be key tasks to ensure Singapore can endure thru even more centuries. Like the New York City water tunnel, this is an equally impotant project, just on the other side of the coin......
