Implementation of centralized home fire  defense system in residential housing.  1.0 Introduction This report provides innovative solutions in response to the call for implementations and provides the improvements that could be made to the current HFAD system in Singapore's residential housing.  1.1 Background Singapore, a tiny country that is home to approximately about 5-6 million people, is also one of the most densely populated countries in the world. With that, public housing has become one of the special icons of Singapore. With more than 1 million flats across 24 towns and 3 estates, the Singapore brand of public housing is uniquely different compared to other countries (Housing Development Board (HDB), 2020). However, in recent years, fire outbreaks in these public homes are common and on the rise. As these public housing spells home to about 80% of Singapore’s resident population, it will be a major concern towards their safety within the flats (HDB, 2020). For t...

The article “Parliament: Singapore looks to create Newoil by transforming waste plastic into alternative fuel” by Liu (2020), illustrates future and existing recycling plans for Singapore. As stated, Newoil is a process in which plastic waste is chemically reduced into pyrolysis oil, resulting in an increase in the recycling rate of plastic waste which sequentially helps us achieve sustainability demands. Currently, National Environment Agency (NEA) has reimbursed money to citizens for recycling beverage containers to encourage Singaporeans to recycle. In July 2020, NEA requires large companies to record the amount of plastic used for packaging. NEA also introduced Newsand, a project used to incinerate general waste to form ash and slag and then reusing it for construction. Additionally, e-waste is a rising factor in the economy. Amy Khor, Senior Minister of State for Health and the Environment and Water Resources, mentions in the article that by 2022, Singapore will have three operati...

The article “Parliament: Singapore looks to create Newoil by transforming waste plastic into alternative fuel” by Vanessa Liu (2020), illustrates future and existing recycling plans for Singapore. Singapore is implementing Newoil, which uses plastic waste to chemically reduce into pyrolysis oil. This will result in less petroleum consumption which sequentially helps us achieve sustainability demands.

Subject: Me, myself and I Dear Professor Blackstone Good day to you .   My name is  Abdul Bari and I am writing to you this letter to introduce myself as one of your  students  in effective communication.   I am currently  studying in Sustainability Infrastructure Engineering Building Services  in Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT) .    I started my studies as an engineer because   I have alw ays wanted to build something of my own ideas .  After long hours of considerations , I realize that  being an engineer for buildings is what I genuinely want to  start  a career on.    One weakness that I  have   is  the choice of  words to use  in  my speech .  I find it frustrating to always stop and pause in the middle of presenting just to find the correct words to use .  This  often makes me lose interest and lose my  self-confidence.    On...
