4. MARINA BAY SANDS
10 Bayfront Avenue
Singapore 018956
Marina Bay Sands is one of two
winning proposals for Singapore's
first Integrated Resorts, the other
being the Resorts World Sentosa.
The two large-scale resorts were
conceived to meet Singapore's
economic and tourism objectives for
the next decade.
The Shoppes At Marina Bay Sands
is Asia’s premier shopping
5. Also, the casinos at the two integrated
resorts serve as a physical jackpot for
Singapore’s already prospering economy.
These casinos are what sparked off
much debate amongst fellow
Singaporeans-and are also what
resonates good governance in Singapore.
6. LEADERSHIP IS KEY
Pragmatism; Doing what is right rather than what
is popular ;if the government does only what is
popular they might not have the resources to
deal with all the constraints and vulnerabilities .
Therefore, while there has been much heated
discussions involving the welfare of fellow
Singaporeans after the construction of the Marina
Bay Sands area –mainly the casinos -the
government decided that these casinos would
benefit the country greatly and thus was the right
decision.
The learning journey showed a prospering Marina Bay
area and this shows what the government has done
is right and benefits the people.
7. ANTICIPATE CHANGE AND STAY
RELEVANT
Foreseeing
developments in the future
based on current trends and
development and taking active steps
and measurements to deal with future
development .
The Marina bay area has been highly
developed into a business district with great
scenic views. This integrates luxury with
diligence to combat the increasing pressure
on Singaporeans these days.
8. Land around the Marina
Bay area has been
reclaimed for
development .Much has
been done to ensure
the smooth and proper
reclamation of land.
This shows foresights
and effective steps
taken.
Having been on the
learning journey at
marina bay I think that
the Singapore
Government has much
foresight and effective
measures have been
taken.
9. REWARD FOR WORK AND
WORK FOR REWARD;
Through meritocracy, self-
reliance; encouraging fellow
singaporeans.
“Reward for work and work
for reward” The construction
of Marina Bay Sands has
resulted in greater
employment rates and job
opportunities. These
employees are encouraged to
work as hard to recognize
their full potential, thus
benefiting both the society
and themselves.
10. Many of the staff we met on the learning
journey were friendly and enjoyed their
respective jobs. This shows good
governance through foresight in
planning and an effective meritocracy
within Singapore's job arena.
11. A STAKE FOR EVERYONE,
OPPORTUNITIES FOR ALL
giving everyone a role to play in society
decision making and giving opportunities
for all to realize their full potential.
A Stake for Everyone, Opportunities for all” This
gives every Singaporean a role to play in decision
making. Every single person young or old has rights
to make a decision. For examples, the construction
of the Marina Bay Sands area and consequently the
casinos at the Integrated Resorts were not decided
amongst only the government but also among
singaporeans. Educated or uneducated, each were
given the right to decide and an opportunity to
speack and voice their thoughts. Having the right to
decide in the development of marina bay ensured
cooperation amongst all and mutual agreement.
This gives citizens a sense of responsibility that they
have to contribute due to collective responsibility.
12. The marina bay area; thoughtfully planned and constructed.
13. REFLECTION
I believe that the Singapore government is a
good one and that their many choices have
proved that their actions are just and beneficial
to Singapore's social and economical scenes.
Also, I believe that having been brought to the
marina bay area serves to showcase the many
displays of the governments correct choices.
This has been greatly exemplified by the many
luxury boutiques present at the Shoppes at
Marina Bay additionally supported by the
forecast earnings of $6.4 billion this year. This
shows the rewards reaped from government
decision, and thus proves that MBS resonates
good governance in Singapore.
