Local times: Exchange Rate The stormwater drainage system in Singapore is completely separated from the sewer system It consists of 7,000 km of public roadside drains and about 1,000 km of major canals and waterways that are regularly cleaned of debris and maintained by private companies under performance-based contracts with PUB. This system has reduced the flood-prone area from 3,200 hectares in the 1970s to about 49 hectares today despite increased urbanization which usually would have resulted in more floods PUB plans to further reduce flood prone areas to 40 hectares by 2013 In the 1960s and 1970s widespread flooding was common in Singapore especially in the city centre which is built on relatively low-lying land. Nevertheless flash floods caused by unusually heavy rains and blocked drains caused damage in 2010 and 2011. Japan Defense Army in 1945 had 55 divisions (53 Infantry and two armor) and 32 brigades (25 infantry and seven armor) with 2.35 million men, Malay Port at Singapore ca 1890 Singapore wants to be water self-sufficient before the 1962 long-term water supply agreement with Malaysia expires in 2061 According to analysis by the Institute of Southeast Asian Studies in 2003 Singapore would already be water self-sufficient by 2011 and "the 'water threat' is less than what it seems to be". However according to official forecasts water demand in Singapore is expected to double from 380 to 760 million gallons per day between 2010 and 2060 The increase is expected to come primarily from non-domestic water use which accounted for 55% of water demand in 2010 and is expected to account for 70% of demand in 2060 By that time water demand is expected to be met by reclaimed water at the tune of 50% and by desalination accounting for 30% compared to only 20% supplied by internal catchments, Cooperation and merger talks with LSE.
. . One way to deal with the foreign exchange risk is to engage in a forward transaction In this transaction money does not actually change hands until some agreed upon future date A buyer and seller agree on an exchange rate for any date in the future and the transaction occurs on that date regardless of what the market rates are then The duration of the trade can be one day a few days months or years Usually the date is decided by both parties Then the forward contract is negotiated and agreed upon by both parties. Coat of Arms of Raffles As the volume of its maritime trade increased in the 19th century Singapore became a key port of call for sailing and steam vessels in their passage along Asian sea routes From the 1840s Singapore became an important coaling station for steam shipping networks that were beginning to form Towards the late 19th century Singapore became a staple port servicing the geographical hinterland of the Malay Peninsula Following the institution of the British Forward Movement Singapore became the administrative capital of British Malaya Roads and railways were developed to transport primary materials such as crude oil rubber and tin from the Malay Peninsula to Singapore to be processed into staple products and then shipped to Britain and other international markets During the colonial period this was the most important role of the port of Singapore; (Dai Nippon Teikoku Rikugun) Economic policy comprises government fiscal policy (budget/spending practices) and monetary policy (the means by which a government's central bank influences the supply and "cost" of money which is reflected by the level of interest rates)! Raffles reasoned that the way to challenge the Dutch was to establish a new port in the region Existing British ports were not in a strategic enough position to becoming major trading centres Penang was too far north of the southern narrow part of Straits of Malacca controlled by the Dutch whereas Bencoolen faced the Indian Ocean near the Sunda Strait a much less important area as it is too far away from the main trading route. Many other possible sites were either controlled by the Dutch or had other problems, Admission to a two-year pre-university course at junior colleges after graduating from secondary school is determined by the L1R5 (English + 5 relevant subjects) scoring system This scoring system is based on the 'O' Level subject grades which range from A1 (best) to F9 (worst) The candidate adds the numerical grades for six different subjects: English (or another language taken at the 'first language' level) a Humanities subject a Science/Mathematics subject a Humanities/Science/Mathematics subject and two other subjects of any kind The best L1R5 unmodified score is therefore 6 for a student with A1 grades in six subjects which meet the criteria, Education takes place in three stages: primary secondary and pre-university education Only the primary level is compulsory Students begin with six years of primary school which is made up of a four-year foundation course and a two-year orientation stage The curriculum is focused on the development of English the mother tongue mathematics and science.
