In a bold move to stop itself from sinking, Singapore is planning to build its very own Long Island, an epic 800-hectare man-made haven. With rising sea levels threatening the city, this audacious mega project is more than an infrastructure-it's a lifeline. Defying nature's onslaught, Singapore embraces innovation and resilience, rewriting its fate. So, how exactly will the Long Island save Singapore? Stay tuned to find out!

You Are Absolutely Spot On Bro ✋ Hi 5
Aside from the danger of drowning from sea level rises, Singaporean government is also constantly worry about potential flood contributor from the second most populated nation visitors 'unstoppable' spit habit on their public spaces, so far, its mega project not just take 'drowning' but also 'flooding' into consideration.
Note to the Environmentalist , Sports and Recreations body and Retail Shops Associations and more. Survivorship takes precedence over anything in Singapore including sports and recreation and so forth. If Singapore sinks, there won't be any surfers, kitefoiling boarders around, let alone retail shops etcetera , 80% or more mainland Singapore will be underwater if no drastic action is taken to mitigate the sea level rise. We are as good as dead if this come true. Just remember, Singapore is the 20th smallest island country existing on earth, there are limited options Personally, I am not worried about it cause I won't be around to witness the sea level rise and many of you who are in your 60s will not live to see it. Its only our generation of youngsters that are of concerns just like generation before us worried will we survive after WWII..
*MAJULAH SINGAPURA* ❤❤❤
*HATERS HATE BECAUSE WE ARE WINNERS 🏆.*
Yeah.... yeah... if not because of this video I never thought that it still exist....we don't hate Singapore... frankly speaking...only being kiasu ...
The evidential FACTS prove U & your acolytes wrong. u DARE hold public inquiry into Lee Hsien Loong & HO Ching's UNMITIGATED disasters, which even LKY had forecasted but of course not to the scale as eventuated? Heard of LKY saying about SGP being in the "HUMPTY DUMPTY" stage? & where is the so-called oppos?
I work at the Changi Airport (cargo side) & noticed the changes along our coastal area... Well done Singapore foresight to global warming & rising sea level... Thank you...
It’s better to bite the bullet and move ahead with new strategies to protect the country than to just sit and watch and cry in years down the road.
Jakarta met her fate....😂
The global mean sea level has risen significantly over the years due to climate change and Singapore isn’t the only country in the world to be affected by it. The Marina Barrage and the embankments along Singapore’s coastline are some of the measures taken to cope with the global phenomenon. The “Long Island” when constructed will also have costal protection features.
Absolutely! And this video focuses on how the Long Island is intended to protect Singapore from the rising sea level.
Climate change was Nazis globalists hoax to push engineered global chaos .. the so called long island crap by sucking off tax payers money was more of deterrent measures in feature to curb threats against it's sovereignty rather than anything to do with the sea level, Singapore was beyond repair as a matter fact .. PAP the ruling Zionist dictator has always been cryptic and abhorrent at work
Climate change sea level rising fear p0rn...
if the water is rising -how do you prevent water from coming from Woodland and Tuas???It more like property development & expansion of real estate on the southern coast of Singapore in the name of climate change@@worldknowmore
wat a genius singapore is ...instead of saying he wants 2 INCREASE THE LAND AREA he came up with the bright idea of fighting the sea level rise in 100 years...that's why singapore is so successful... blocking any future problems
It is no news how Singapore's average land and coastal height being too close above sea levels. This is why since independence from 1965, Singapore employs Dutch engineers advisors being stationed to help building dams including artificial islands. Singapore's flooding crisis is not much less than Maldives!
Rise in sea water does not mean Singapore is sinking. Dumpass
Exactly. We're not pumping ground water. There is no ground subsidence here.
SG on it Agency, and it's populace deter minarion😂🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤😅😅😅😅
When SGP talks about reclamations, our neighbors politician are rubbing their hands and their eyes would be spinning like a jackpot machine.
if u dont reclaim where got more space for new $ingaporeans? everyone is hand-rubbing not just neighbours
The unhappy ones are those from PISA below average nations 😢
One such example has 90000 students failing SPM Math and 52000 students failing SPM English. LOL!
You all never stop being kiasu aa...it's okay...its okay..only that If things worsen come to us...forest city of Johor can accomodate the whole of Singapore...it's vacant... really...but pls leave the MERLION where it belongs...it will survive I believe...at least somebody must safeguard the watery grave...
Oh, boy, I do appreciate your sarcastic sense of humour, I really do! These shots at 11:13 and onward... What a... Ah, "sweet memories" - of me doing OW dives (part of scuba diving course i took there), and those lovely December mornings of '94 at Pulau Hantu... Where the visibility is... erm... wait, lemme consult "Training Records" section of my logbook... Yeah, found it! - the whole... TWO METRES.
Yep, you read it right - not "twelve", and certainly not "twenty". Just TWO. But then I have to add it was on a "good day" - cuz on the other day it was 1.5 m.
And as far as the "marine life" there goes - oh, plenty. On one dive you coud see as much as few dozens of... hydroids, aka stinging sea ferns. Huge beasts, each at least 10 cm long... OK, OK, "almost 10 cm", but still. And then some of "the other marine life there", and some people say this is where this islet took its name from - floating little ghosts, that looked suspiciously similar to plastic bags. Some even carried the NTUC logo on them... Still, scary like hell, ayam tellin' you...
;-)
Instead of just sand/soil ‘Long Island’, the ‘reclaim land’ part of the areas nearer to the shore could be prefabricated using reinforced ‘culvert like’ individual structures with multiple levels of 2 or even 3 levels of ‘interlink land space’ placed towards and beneath the sea instead of just 1 ‘land area’ using the conventional land filled method.
Imagine just like the ‘Tuas Mega Container Port’….but having the interlink/3 levels Caissons (Mega Culverts) nearer the shore placed horizontally instead of vertically beneath the sea.
Does not compute because the expected rise in sea water (> 5 meters) does not just flood to the eastern side of Singapore Island only. It’s simply a deceptive ploy to fool its neighboring countries (Malaysia / Indonesia) as they are very wary of Singapore’s sea landfill to extend its land mass.
You put are ice cube in a cup of water ..when it melts the level of the cup of water stayes the same . Because the the mass and weight of the ice cube is the same it doesn't change ..it storms and weather and sealife growth ..
Nice video, quite informative!😊
LOOK IT UP. one degree C will not make the seawaters swell that much. Or if I am wrong, can yu please tell me what you base that statement , that 1 degree celcius ausd that degree f siking? Sinking is real but it is not necessarily caused by globa warming, I think.
This video is a propaganda from someone that is jealous of Singapore success Viva Singapore !!! Viva LKY!!!
Singapore, part of Indonesia and Malaysia, Singapore, Malay land, Singapore formed by the British, independent Singapore, assisted by the British
@anwarsofian354 Singapore was never a part of Indonesia and was expelled from Malaysia in 1965. The Malaysian government was predominantly comprised of Malays in the past and continues to be the case today, their decision was to separate Singapore from Malaysia, thereby invalidating the claim of Singapore being a Malay land. Modern Singapore was founded by the British but the path to Singapore's current success was defined by the late Mr. Lee Kuan Yew, who shaped the first quarter-century of Singapore's independence. It's time to learn your history from reliable sources instead of TikTok.
@@anwarsofian354 You just proved why Malaysia's intellectual level is way far behind Vietnam and Cambodia. 🤣🤣🤣
Video consistent with SG Government’s Bad Habit of Covertly Driving Agendas thru New Laws & Policies without Revealing True Agenda … just like how many Scandals Covered Up 😊
@huggybear441 They are not the sharpest tool in the shed and to top it off, they are extremely malas.
My friends. This video channel lies. I am putting it on my Do Not Recommend list.
How so? Seems like praising leh
@keffinsg: No lie No $$$ lah , LOL!! If U Reply me I'll tell U who is the Top Notch Lier to Singaporean!!
Hey WKM, why aren't some of my factual comments being displayed? Anti SG much?
Why someone so jealous about this tiny island ??
BS, another spin doctor.
If one is aware of Singapore's history since independence, all that future reclaimed land costing billions of dollars will end up becoming county clubs with golf courses for the rich and elites. Singaporeans will happily sing along to "four legs good, two legs better."
Another possible solution....to this matter...dont forget to save the containers from the ports...it could come in handy...anytime...😊
the rising sea levels would course the golf stream to stop resulting in a new ice age in the atlantic region with arctic and polar winds continuing despite the stopping of the golf stream causing a permanent winter across Europa and likely also other streams that push hotter waters north in asia heating the east asian coastal regions
while people generally think of global warming now and global cooling then the change in the fareast would be one from temperate in east asia to a more siberian like climate for china and a more temperate climate for the tropical southeast-asia
in the short run sea levels will rise however in the long run the rising sea levels stopping the golf stream and several others like it will cool the earth in the polar regions causing more water that comes down as rain or snowfall to be locked up in ice shelfs and snowcovered regions that do not melt in the summer lowering ocean levels exposing more land (a perfect opportunity to build up this newly reclaimed land with barriers at the coast to hold in the added sand and earth to keep it from going back under the sea onces the climate naturally reverses again as it has done many times the last ten millennia)
a few things out of our control is also contributing to this for once the weakening of earths magnetic fields coronal solar activity changes
changes to the solar as well as potential future solar flare and in fact we are behind schedule for a coronal shedding of the sun something that happens on a three million year schedule as well as a polar switch (north south the poles are drifting and it is possible this may instead lead to a polar switch through shifting north and south)
a good portion of volcanoes are also expected to increase or restart surface activity (a geological origin for potential future atmospheric effect )
lidar research indicates that several jungles are actually and artificial manmade phenomeno not of natural origin (and the high strain such forestry has had and continues to have on the soil is a ticking time bomb for future desertification same goes for the current amerikan agricultural industry)
You know my only observation is: have you ever looked at a cockroach colony in a septic tank and see what congestion and constriction affects ???
Will there be a new beach like today where the public can enjoy the beach sand & water? If no, then it means it'll be privatised to benefit just a few residents. Then the project should not proceed until a public access to sand beach & sea water like today is incorporated, not deleted.

Where to get sand for reclamation?
where there's cash, there's sand
You can buy or find sands from nearby islands
Sinkapor even bought sand from China. Got money anything can talk. No money just tiam tiam
All these land expansion is not sustainable, build to fail. We are paying premium and pray that it will hold itself.
The island is not sinking but sea level is rising due to climate changes.
Hello how the import of sand invoke the wrath of neighbours. You talk as if Singapore get it free of charge. If neighbouring countries does not sell to us, we can always buy from other countries.
with the creations new islands, does it mean singapore has extended its boundry to indonesia? i hope singapore n indonesia will not start quarelling. and by the way where does the raw materials, that is sand come from?
No all inside Singapore borders
What's with these ferris wheels?
At the 9th minute it was mentioned a growing population? I wonder if that's a correct narrative.
I do have to ask these.
Does the maritime boundary start from the new shoreline or the old?
And where are the rocks/sand coming from?
Cambodia?
cash is king
Our teritorial waters are all claimed, so reclamation doesn’t even change the border+ we share our eez with our neighbours to prevent disputes
Too many high rise buildings is partially to blame unfortunately. Just look at Jakarta, it is sinking.
Jakarta is sinking due to a combination of over building and over-extraction of groundwater.
Singapore isn't sinking like Jakarta, it's preparing itself against rising sea levels, get your facts right
Singapore will not sink because the country has invented technologies to clean sea and used water into 100 percent drinkable water and to prevent flood. The proof, the water we drink from water cooler are tap water. Just look at the water cooler pipes being connected to normal pipes. Who will want to travel far just for the beach. Sorry if I have written 2 or more than 2 comments because one my screen, the previous one was not uploaded.

Singaporeans still don't get the message....the reason why hdb made so many high rise flats...and condos too....just in case...we are talking logics here...
Long Island - can house more new immigrants. 10million population is a reality some days, thanks to climate change.
Any maga project done by Singapore sure will bring a lot jealous comment, how sad those people are.😂😂😂
Build more..😊
Malaysia johor has a ready made oval island to protect its shores. Singapore😅
I heard indonesia and malaysia no longer supply sands/earth to Singapore. Buy sand from other country, costly. So Singaporean prepare to pay & pay GST now is 9%
GST ALSO INCREASE ONCE MORE TO 10%
BY 01JAN 25 - I MONEY 💰 NO ENOUGH
To PAP - I HOPE YOU HAVE ENOUGH ,
IF NOT , WE HAVE TO ASK Jack Neo ,
Mark Lee or Henry Thia FOR A BIG LOAN
( 🦈💨 🤢 🤮💦 )
The GST increase is only for 8% in 2023 and 9% in 2024.
The cost of sands n other raw materials raises the BTO prices. And yet many sgp wondered why the cost of bto had increased by so many folds. Sigh.
u mean water CAN just come in ONE DIRECTION?
Consider seawater energy⚡🙏🙏🙏🙏
About 4 minutes of info the title promised, the rest is useless fluff
When the time comes banking could be done on floats or barges...that would be great..that goes to the factories too....for singapore its nothing impossible...as long as the people pay and pay😂
Singapore can afford to buy a larger island or a country. its a matter of $$$ only!
Yeah... Indonesia is selling....tow it and place it beside the nostalgic causeway...that would be a nice view...from Johor 😂😂😂😂
The effort will be similar to polder in Holland: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polder
The most cost effective way is to migrate to places with higher ground that could accommodate more population. The overall effects of rising sea level with climate change is unclear, there would be more surprises ahead and solutions need to be adaptable. There are places in the world still sparsely populated, e.g., Australia, America, etc that can be engineered to make the land habitable. Deserts may turn green again with climate change.
Your narrative is too loaded with big words, Singaporeans are practical and thus please go straight to the point instead of sounding like a high school student trying to impress the examiner marking his A-level essay...
*World Know More?* 👈 (👎👎👎)
Can see the walking sightseeing place(the sea) like have alot of people, unbelievable if imagine like 100 there, then it's a reason of science instead? If walk there "due to a script that existed", isn't it mainteinence of an injuring-movement like an agreed matter to be in that experience? Can't be only target that understand, if people were created to "not look there"?
So we can rule n control nature. Just do something n nature will obey you. Simpletons
there goes our beach .. Bye bye
Expand the cause way...n link it to the peninsular...
The things is, neighbour one by one are banning soil and sand export to them.
Have you been keeping up with the news lately? Contrary to popular belief, Singapore is acquiring sand from neighboring countries.
@@District-X law come in force gradually...
Well, Singapore would not need sand from other countries because the country came up with a solution to solve sand shortage by getting slag which is called 'Newsand' by researchers from trash collected across the country and burn it. The air will be filtered out into cleaner air than outside air while the gas will be use for generating electricity. The remaining slag or called 'newsand' will be use for construction. Based on an experiment, the 'newsand' will form a stronger concrete structure compared to concrete made of normal sands.

Recent developments in Asia, such as China constructing a new port at the mouth of the Straits of Malacca and Thailand engaging in discussions with China to build a canal across Thailand, raise questions about the potential impact on Singapore.
overly dramatic much?
Go learn from the Netherlands
What I worried most is the underground shifted? If its shifted than are we affected? Are we in danger if we are no longer protected by our neighboring countries when there are earth quakes ?

Drowning in money 🤑🤑

Singapore is surrounded by water. How can the proposed islands fronting a small portion of the borders stop the overflowing when sea level raise.
learn from holland how to build dam.
Malaysia dan singapura
They should all move to Hainan, China, the Hawaii of the East. The island is 40 times the size of Singapore with a population density of 10 times less, so it will be able to absorb the whole of Singapore's population of some 6 million. The Malays can migrate to Johore, Malaysia, and the Indians to India if they wish.
China is facing a population decline so I am sure they will consider this proposal, especially young people since they had low birth for a couple of decades.
Throngs of mainland Chinese are leaving China to migrate to other countries and you are suggesting that Singaporeans migrate to China? Your forefathers who left China in search of a better future will be saddened by this. As a matter of fact, the country where the most people will potentially be affected by rising sea levels is China, with 43 million people living in precarious coastal locations. At least get your facts right if you want to promote China.
Nice one .. inventive idea ..👋
Excellent idea. The sinkheh descendants go to Hainan enmasse. The Indians return to India.
. . . the Malays stay put. Singapura betul-betul Merdeka ! LOL
@DaBiggBosz It's ironic and amusing how after more than 5 decades Mr. Mudd and Co are still harping and harbouring sentiments about the ownership of something they willingly and happily relinquished without any qualms. LOL!

Long Island strategy doesn’t sound correct. Better to learn from Chongqing of PRC by elevating the living space. Abandon the submerged space.
World wealthiest country, yet the poor cannot afford to get sick and die.??
Completely untrue. Have you heard of MediShield Life and MediSave? In the event that your medical bills are still unaffordable, Medifund, a medical endowment fund set up by the government, is available to provide assistance to Singaporeans facing financial difficulties.
They are poor, they don't have money. That's why the government is providing financial to the poor but it is their promblem if they can't afford to retire since the government is already helping them. In fact, those poor can get money from the government by giving a reason why and explaining what are the familiy issue. Most Singaporeans are rich but somehow, the government still gave CDC vouchers and financial support to them to beat inflation which is good.
Try looking for the poor that’s abandoned on the streets. The social network here are better in many first world countries. Yes, it’s tough but the people are not forgotten and being looked after.
God is the only Creator. its creatures cant never do anything against the Creators will, not even a try to play god. nevertheless the shameless creatures may continue to suck bloods to fund the potentially doomed project tho.

It is not difficult to understand why Singapore is sinking. MRT lines are sooo deep, trains' vibrations surely effect Singapore's foundation. Besides, underground sewerage tunnels share with mrt tunnels. Singapore is quite hollow. Tampering with nature just for the sake of progress could well cause imbalance of our earth.
Singapore is not sinking. The recent plan to build a Long Island to protect Singapore against high rise sea level due to climate change in the future.

The tunnels have no effect to those foundations because they are build strong. If it affect the foundations, the whole building might have just collapesed instead of the land sinking.

If Singapore reclaims 8 square km, it means another 8 square km elsewhere in the neighbouring countries will be flooded. This is not a neighbourly thing to do. It's best the money is spend by building a thick high wall around the island.Singapore needs to sacrifice the beaches to safe their island. For a beach Singaporeans can go to Malaysia and Indonesia.
Why is Singapore's reclamation work within its own borders unneighbourly? Singapore, as a sovereign nation, has the right to act in its own best interest. I don't see Singapore complaining about the reclamation works done by its neighbours so dont judge others with a standard you don't use to judge yourself with. When it comes to beaches, I choose the lovely and pristine ones in Thailand, Philippines, and Vietnam etc. over the substandard ones in Malaysia.
@@District-X Reclaiming land from the sea should be banned. If Singapore reclaims 8 square km from the sea it implies 8 square km of land in neighbouring countries will be lost. If neighbouring countries reclaim 8 square km then Singapore will have to increase the height of the reclaimed land. This is science. What needs to be done is for neighbouring countries to see the geography of the area and decide how land reclaimation can help everyone. Singapore is being selfish. Climate change knows no borders.
@everythingandmore5537 Land reclaiming is not exclusive to Singapore, its neighbors are also doing it. Based on your reasoning, are they not selfish?
@@District-X Yes. Each taking care of itself. They should come together and help prevent more erosion. It should be a collective effort and not a selfish one.
@everythingandmore5537 Land reclamation is understandable for small nations but for much larger nations to do so is simply greed and selfishness.
all imigran to Malaysia
Choose progressions instead of regressions. Considering that there are 194 other countries to choose from, it's hard to see how anyone would want to migrate to Malaysia. As it happens, It's important to know that Penang, Kelantan, Klang, Kedah, and Kuala Lumpur, etc. are “sinking” at a faster rate than Singapore.
@@District-X ... show empirical proof those Malaysian cities and states you yapped are sinking faster than the Republic of Reclamation. List the links now.
