The terms First World, Second World, and Third World originated during the Cold War (1947–1991) to categorize countries based on their political alignment and economic status:

1. First World: Western-aligned, capitalist, and industrialized nations, e.g., the USA, Western Europe, and allies.


2. Second World: Communist-aligned nations, e.g., the Soviet Union, China, and their allies.


3. Third World: Non-aligned nations, many of which were newly independent and developing economically.



Over time, the term "Third World" became associated with underdeveloped or developing nations, often characterized by lower economic output, higher poverty rates, and limited infrastructure. However, these terms are now considered outdated and misleading. Modern terminology uses classifications like developed, developing, or least developed countries (LDCs), based on metrics such as GDP, Human Development Index (HDI), and infrastructure.

Is Singapore a "Third World Country"?

No, Singapore is not a Third World country. Although Singapore was considered underdeveloped at independence in 1965, it has since transformed into one of the world's most developed nations, characterized by:

A high GDP per capita (one of the highest globally).

Excellent infrastructure, healthcare, and education systems.

Strong global trade and finance sectors.

A very high Human Development Index (HDI).


In Asia, Singapore is often viewed as a model for rapid economic growth and development. It is considered a highly developed nation by global standards.

While the term "Third World" may be used colloquially or historically, it is inaccurate to describe Singapore as such today.

During the two decades of the Useless Son's reign, many things in Sinkieland have been, to put it mildly, on 'auto-pilot mode'.

It's not just the tangible things that you can see and touch, it's the overall spirit and vibes too. Decline and downward trajectory.

The bike lane is fine because it's not subjected to the pounding from HGVs.

The appearance of potholes on a brand-new cycling track along Changi Coast Road in Singapore could be due to several factors:

1. Poor Workmanship

Inadequate Compaction: The subgrade or asphalt layers may not have been properly compacted during construction, leading to weak spots.

Improper Mixing: Incorrect asphalt mix ratios can result in a weaker surface prone to potholing.

Rushed Construction: If the project was rushed to meet deadlines, quality checks might have been skipped.


2. Inferior Materials

Use of low-quality asphalt, aggregates, or binding agents can result in a surface that cannot withstand wear and tear.


3. Drainage Issues

Poor drainage design or clogged drains can lead to water pooling on the track. Water weakens the asphalt and subgrade, causing potholes.


4. Heavy Vehicles

If construction vehicles or other heavy machinery were used on the track before it fully cured, it could have damaged the surface.


5. Weather Conditions

Frequent heavy rains and high humidity can accelerate the deterioration of poorly constructed roads or tracks.


6. Design Flaws

Incorrect slope or alignment can cause water to collect in certain areas, leading to structural failure over time.


7. Post-Construction Maintenance Neglect

New tracks require some level of maintenance, such as sealing small cracks, to prevent them from developing into potholes.


If this issue persists, it may require a thorough investigation by relevant authorities like the Land Transport Authority (LTA) to identify the root causes and hold contractors accountable if necessary.
