Fake Talent, Fake Degrees, now Fake Beach. Good job Fucking PAP

[Papsmearer]

DBS got so much money can spend millions of $ on a fake beach? Fucking PAP GLC. Is there no sinkie student that could have benefitted from a scholarship from DBS instead of this beach? What about old folks and feeding them? DBS so free with taxpayer money, just so some tourists can watch a 3rd rate sporting event at a beach?


SINGAPORE - Visitors to Marina Bay in June will get to enjoy a pop-up urban beach complete with palm trees, deck chairs, and a beach bar.

The initiative by DBS Bank is part of the DBS Marina Regatta. Tapping on the growing trend of urban beaches across the world, DBS aims to transform Singapore's new financial district and to bring more people down to the bay to watch the 28th SEA Games races.

The beach will also serve to present a fun, relaxed yet innovative side of Singapore to SEA Games visitors.

Measuring 50 metres by 50 metres, the beach will be located at The Promontory@Marina Bay during the third weekend of the DBS Marina Regatta from June 13 to 14, 2015. The beach will also feature a 25m by 15m pool where a host of activities including stand-up paddling and stand-up yoga will take place.

Said Ms Karen McGregor, Senior Vice President of Group Strategic Marketing and Communications at DBS: "Urban beaches have proven to be a popular concept around the world, transforming urban landscapes in major cities such as Paris, Berlin, Prague, Brussels, and Toronto - and now Singapore.

"With this year being Singapore's jubilee year, and having the 28th SEA Games Traditional Boat (Dragon boat) and Sailing races take place in conjunction with the DBS Marina Regatta, we wanted to celebrate this landmark occasion by igniting the bay with even more transformative experiences.

"Ultimately, we want to ensure everyone has a good time at the regatta. The urban beach is just one of many exciting new possibilities and experiences that the DBS Marina Regatta is bringing to the bay this year."

A logistical feat

The task of creating a man-made beach in the heart of one of the world's leading financial centres will be no mean feat as organisers bring in 28,000kg of sand in an operation that is expected to take up to 300 man-hours.

The sand will be laid onto a protective ground sheet that covers the entire area of the beach. A raised edge will help to contain the sand, and grass lining the perimeter of the beach will ensure that the sand remains within the beach's boundaries.

don't lose sight of the past of the evil British using Singapore as the port for their monopoly opium trade in SEA.

China and SEA were rich and peaceful countries before the British turn them into drug addicts to poor nations to fund their industrial revolution back in UK. We now know where the British find money to control 1/3 at the world at the expense of Chinese with their monopolized opium trades.

New Markets
As China tightened her borders, Britain pinned her hopes on her other Asian colonies. Opium production in the Straits Settlements (Singapore, Penang, Malacca, Labuan) rose from 353,938 pounds in 1916 to 370,688 pounds in 1920, in spite of Britain’s promise at the Hague Convention to limit opium sales. In 1918, 60% of Britain’s Asian income was derived from opium sales. In 1925, opium accounted for 48% of Singapore’s revenue, and 100% of North Borneo’s. At the 1923 Opium Conference, Mr. Campbell admitted that the British Indian government was determined to maintain high levels of both internal consumption and export, and that they,

“controlled the production, distribution, sale, possession – every possible practical question which could arise in connection with opium—in the strictest possible manner—They had built up a complicated and highly efficient administrative system which started from the time the poppy seed was put into the ground, and did not relinquish control of the drug until it was in the hands of the consumers, or till it was actually exported.”

British are main culprits to blame to turn Far East China and the Asia region into poor countries and opium smokers.

We must remember this history from 1750-1940 WW2 and tell them to apologize to Asian countries like the White Australian Kevin Rudd apologized to the Oz Aboriginal.

[Froggy]

Why news like to sensationalize by reporting it requires 28,000kg of sand why not bloody say it requires 28,000,000g of sand or zillions of grains of sand.

Its less than 6 truck loads for goodness sake.
