So, we have these 3 statements.

1. From Yacoob that flood is one in 50 years. Hence, there's no need to do anything about it.

2. From LKY that it is not technological possible to prevent ponding. Hence, I assume, there's no need to do anything.

3. From Vivian that the relevant govt. agency needs to look into the issue and do something about it.

Clearly, there's some contradictions here and at least one of them is wrong.
1. Always wait for the setup. NO SETUP; NO TRADE

2. The trend will END but I don't know WHEN.

As sea levels rise, airport to expand on higher ground

THE upcoming expansion of Changi Airport will take place on higher ground to guard against rising sea levels, said Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong yesterday.

The reclaimed land on which it will stand will be built up to provide a buffer that will withstand more than the projected 18-inch (46cm) rise in sea levels in the next 100 years, he told Singapore reporters.

Mr Lee cited the move when elaborating on what Singapore will do to mitigate the threat of climate change, a key point of his address earlier in the day at the ASEAN-Republic of Korea Commemorative Summit.

As a low-lying island state, Singapore takes climate change seriously and will do its part to ease its impact, he told leaders of the 10 ASEAN nations and South Korean President Park Geun Hye at the summit in Busan.

Mr Lee urged all sides to work together to tackle this threat as well as diseases, natural disasters and terrorism. These "non-traditional security issues" required a global response, he said.

Hence, for the United Nations climate change conference in Paris next year, when 196 nations will meet to sign an agreement, Mr Lee wants ASEAN and South Korea to join hands in advancing negotiations at the meeting.

"(Such cooperation) will help to ensure a stable and peaceful region that continues to prosper for the benefit of our people," he said.
