Ptolemy's Almagest is the only surviving comprehensive ancient treatise on astronomy Babylonian astronomers had developed arithmetical techniques for calculating astronomical phenomena; Greek astronomers such as Hipparchus had produced geometric models for calculating celestial motions Ptolemy however claimed to have derived his geometrical models from selected astronomical observations by his predecessors spanning more than 800 years though astronomers have for centuries suspected that his models' parameters were adopted independently of observations. Ptolemy presented his astronomical models in convenient tables which could be used to compute the future or past position of the planets the Almagest also contains a star catalogue which is a version of a catalogue created by Hipparchus Its list of forty-eight constellations is ancestral to the modern system of constellations but unlike the modern system they did not cover the whole sky (only the sky Hipparchus could see) Across Europe the Middle East and North Africa in the Medieval period it was the authoritative text on astronomy with its author becoming an almost mythical figure called Ptolemy King of Alexandria the Almagest was preserved like most of extant Classical Greek science in Arabic manuscripts (hence its familiar name) Because of its reputation it was widely sought and was translated twice into Latin in the 12th century once in Sicily and again in Spain. Ptolemy's model like those of his predecessors was geocentric and was almost universally accepted until the appearance of simpler heliocentric models during the scientific revolution, The government also has encouraged firms to invest outside Singapore with the country's total direct investments abroad reaching $39 billion by the end of 1998 The People's Republic of China was the top destination accounting for 14% of total overseas investments followed by Malaysia (10%) Hong Kong (9%) Indonesia (8%) and US (4%) The rapidly growing economy of India especially the high technology sector is becoming an expanding source of foreign investment for Singapore The United States provides no bilateral aid to Singapore but the US appears keen to improve bilateral trade and signed the US-Singapore Free Trade Agreement Singapore corporate tax is 17 per cent, The Singapore government also owns 90% of the country's land as well as housing in which 80% of the population lives.

The history of common water supply in Singapore began with the construction of the MacRitchie Reservoir which was built by the British in 1866 The Lower Peirce Reservoir and the Upper Seletar Reservoir were completed in 1913 and 1949 respectively in order to supply the rapidly modernising colonial city with sufficient water In 1927 the municipal leadership of Singapore and Sultan Ibrahim of the state and territories of Johor in neighboring Malaya signed an agreement that allowed Singapore to rent land in Johor and use its water for free The Municipal Water Department under David J Murnane began importing raw water from Gunong Pulai in 1927 and filtered water on 31 December 1929 The water filtration and pipeline capacity from Gunong Pulai was doubled in 1939. Another pipeline was built to return a smaller quantity of treated water to Johor.[citation needed] During the Battle of Singapore in 1942 the Causeway that links Singapore with Malaya and that carries the pipeline was blown up by retreating British troops thus unintentionally destroying the pipeline which left Singapore with water reserves that could last at most two weeks.
