Title: Are you proud of Jewel?
Post by: Keeptrucking on Oct 17, 2024, 02:23 PM
actually I am, i see tourists first thing they do when they arrive is to walk over and take pics.

and reviews of the place have never been negative, i think.

yeah it is fake and ex... but honestly, singapore is so small we really have to bank on such gimmicks to attract tourists. we don't have many natural sites or steep cultural places.

and if you go on weekday afternoon Jewel can be a relaxing place to just walk around aimlessly and have a cup of coffee.

No. Its an expensive vanity project for visitors. An airport is an airport just
to arrive from and depart to overseas.  Just like countries trying to outdo each other
for highest building. It never ends.
A park for sinkies can be used frequently and is better for the soul.

hmm i get your point but i guess this is one way we can make a difference from other countries? we are really lacking in a lot of attractions.

also, there is a park there. The jurassic walk. not your usual park but yeah lol.

and if we built a park there, it will prob be another GBTB.

Why are we wanting vistors? Do you home lack vistors? A home is a home, a country is a country. The ppl living inside is more important. A sanctuary for the people not for visitors.
The money collected had not helped sinkies in all these years. One project after another like renovations at home. Why do you need a bigger garden? If really rich, no need borrow from bank, collect more gst, then ok. But need to keep on working to build better garden/collect taxes for airport/memorial park. It is never enough and we are paying for it.

See post #17. We are sharing spaces, infrastrature...look at eg of visitors at NUS. The uni is for current students to study peacefully, gain knowledge. Now you want foreign students to takeover the places? Where will our sinkies get knowledege? Run overseas with huge expenses from parents working their  butts off? It is vanity, like wanting to be better than your neighbours.
