There are local brands that have expanded overseas such as
SingTel and Robinsons. Other local brands such as Gongcha have
not expanded overseas mainly due to its age in the economy. The
MBS has to depend more on services in order to open up to the
world and improve tourism and provide jobs. These help ensure the
economic prosperity of Singapore.

Innovative structures like motion sensor fans help to conserve the
usage of energy by switching itself off when no movement is
detected
Another example of innovative structures or rather idea is the
planting of trees along the pavement
The MBS worked with local as well as foreign investors to set up
shops in the MBS.

By anticipating change and staying relevant, our government has
implemented the installations of devices like the motion sensor
lights and fans in school toilets. This helps save energy and in turn
save costs and resources. Electricity is also generated through solar
cells found at the top of the fan and thus reduce energy usage.
12. Good governance(III)
Through ‘A stake for everyone, opportunities for all’ ,the
government considered the thoughts and feelings of locals and
acted accordingly by implementing these measures…
