Singapore is a tiny city-state 137 km north of the Equator, at the tip of the Peninsula of Malaya, strategically located at the cross-roads of Southeast Asia.
Singapore’s anti-pollution laws have been effective, as they are part of an efficient legal and administrative set-up coupled with comprehensive land use planning and a sound environmental infrastructure.
Thus, the 1980s saw the cleanup of the Singapore River and Kallang Basin, the 1990s saw the construction of a new off-shore dump-site, and the year 2000 saw the commissioning of a new, state-of-the-art incineration plant and the start of construction of a deep tunnel sewerage system.

 An Interview With Fred Pearce, Author of When the Rivers Run Dry
When a river is in flood, it will naturally tend to deposit water in wetlands all the way down its course.
And heavy rains may be delayed from reaching the rivers themselves by the intervention of wetlands.
At any rate, when the war ended, Israel was in charge of the river for most of its course, including the headwaters on the Golan Heights and has retained them tenaciously ever since, virtually emptying the river before it flows into the country that bears its name.

 Singapore Angle - Looking at world and local issues from a Singapore perspective
Likewise, Singapore blogs spontaneously choose to obey the law because their authors decide (for whatever reason) that they want to, not because some authority figures are breathing down their backs, watching their every move and delivering instant and painful punishment if they don't.
But this assumption is not true: the term "Singapore blogosphere" at best describes the transient, nebulous association of cross-referenced, internetworked blogs that nominally claim some affiliation with Singapore; like all emergent phenomena [3], there is an inalienable quality of intangiblility and ineffablility to the very concept of a blogosphere.
The KTM agrees with Bart that what we currently have in Singapore is not so much a struggle of the "elites versus the ordinary joe", but the "ruling elites versus the wannabe elites" (or the new elites in "non-elite underdog" skin, to borrow from Bart's analogy).

Singapore -- more than 30% of the species found in the 1930s have never been recovered since that time.
And in terms of, you know, lists of extinct things -- I mean, Ian and I have found ourselves becoming really rather like the Grim Reaper, when we discover that, you know, we've found an extinct species -- and then somebody finds it somewhere.
As Ross has pointed out -- Ross and Clare have pointed out in their sort of listing of extinction -- one of the big problems really is our lack of understanding of the taxonomy and systematics of various groups.

Under the agreements, Singapore is allowed to draw 1.277 million liters daily from rivers in Johor for a price of less than 1 cent per 1,000 gallons (3,800 liters) until 2011.
After Singapore was kicked out of the Malay Federation and became an independent nation in August 1965, the island republic felt vulnerable enough to register the agreements at the United Nations Charter Secretariat Office in June 1966.
Two years ago, Singapore announced a breakthrough when the country's water authority, Public Utilities Board, was able to collect all used-water (in a country which is 100 percent sewered) to produce NEWater -- a popular brand of bottled drinking water.

 Geylang   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Geylang is a neighbourhood of the city-state of Singapore east of its central business district area.
The neighbourhood has been the center of Singapores Malay community since Malays and Orang Laut settled there after the British authorities dispersed their floating village at the mouth of the Singapore River in mid-19th century.
Partly untouched by urban projects and developments and so far spared by the gentrification process that has changed the face of Singapore since the 1970s, Geylangs combination of shophouse scenery and hectic day and night life (including a red-light district, foreign workers quarters and KTV lounges) provides an alternative view to the modern Singapore.

Subject: suggestions (Re: Zorn List Digest V2 #670) I've found the Zornlist to be a really friendly place, with great "advice", almost like a suggestive map of strange new territory, even if that "strange" territory is some subverted familiar, like, say, Caetano Veloso.
While these folks bring an amazing quality to the list, they might be well-served by a semi-standard FAQ listing some must-have records by some of the "luminaries", or labels at least.
A non-digest (direct mail) version of this list is also available; to subscribe to that instead, replace all instances of "zorn-list-digest" in the commands above with "zorn-list".
