The MBSThe Casino helps Singapore in her economic growth because it has attracted a lot of foreigners and Singaporeans to visit the Casino. Not only does it generate income through gambling, it boosts tourism in Singapore. For unemployed workers in

Singapore, MBS has create job opportunities for Singaporeans. The workers will hence have a chance to work to sustain their own living. The system ‘Work for Reward, Reward for Work’ is also used to encourage workers to deliver the best quality of their service and have a positive attitude in their work.

When quality service is provided, it will bring about an boost in tourism as well as consumerism of the foreigners.

THEREFORE,TOURISM GROWS!GOODS&SERVICES CONSUMED GROWS! ECONOMIC GROWS!

FROM LITTLE RED DOT to CENTRAL OF ATTRACTION!

How has it helped Singapore to sustain its growth?

• The government has anticipated changes and stayed relevant as it has made the necessary changes to accommodate to the growing population and to increase the quality of service to have a place in the tourism industry in the world.

These above discussed has demonstrated how the Singapore government anticipated change and staying relevant! The government improves its

infrastructures and attract foreign investment which is important for Singapore because it is heavily dependent on the world for economic development.

The Marina Barrage

Together with two other new reservoirs, the Marina Reservoir has increased Singapore’s water catchment from half to two-thirds of the country’s land area.

The freshwater lake created has 1.boost Singapore's water supply2.acts as a tidal barrier to prevent flooding in low-lying city areas, and keeps the water level consistent3.offering a venue for water-based activities in the heart of the city.

The Marina Barrage

•The Marina Barrage is the result of former Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew’s vision nearly two decades ago when he envisaged damming the mouth of the Marina Channel to create a freshwater reservoir. •Hence, not only does MBS displayed the principle of anticipating changes and stay relevant, it also showed that leadership is key.

Singapore has been very dependent on other country for water resources. However, with the increase in water supply, it is more sustainable now and can afford to spend more resources in other areas such as education, which is also essential for Singapore to remain competitive and sustainable.

Eco friendly solar fan• The eco-friendly solar fan is designed

to conserve energy, hence less resources is used. In this current world, resources is becoming more scarce, hence the implementation of this fan has demonstrated the government of being relevant, always planning for the future development.

In conclusion…

• Marina Bay Sands has demonstrated the 4 principles of governance. It has various infrastructures and programmes implemented and has helped Singapore to overcome many challenges, such as water shortage, unemployment and economic recession. Hence, Marina Bay Sands is a model of how the 4 principles of Governance have been deployed to sustain the growth in the 21st century. Lessons learnt from this model can be applied into other areas too.
