- Опубликовано: 2 сен 2021
- Singapore, one of the world’s most advanced economy is yet again increasing its presence in the shipping industry. According to the world bank, Singapore is the 2nd busiest port just behind Ningbo-Zhoushan port where China’s leading foreign trade happens.
Correction(s):
Tuas mega port will be constructed in four phases, don't three.
The completion date is in the 2040s not 2040 specifically.

Summary Script
With the state of the current global world shifting to a more online presence, the need for shipments has been skyrocketing. This opportunity presents a better economic advantage to Singapore, as it holds such an important shipping lane. It is, in fact, that in the past, the wealth accumulated early on within the region was because Singapore hosted one of the world’s most important seaport hubs.
Today, however, the maritime industry presents several challenges to the world and Singapore in terms of technological advancement, labor shortages, and more. It is such a necessity to find innovative ways to navigate in the world we live in today, and that is why Singapore came out with a $20 billion Singaporean dollar massive plan to create the world’s largest fully automated terminal.
This is the Tuas Mega-port project, Singapore’s plan to lead the world’s maritime industry. This grand infrastructure plan will be like no other. With automation being the key centerpiece, it is expected to be powered with 1,000 automated cranes and 1,000 driverless vehicles to ensure that it becomes as efficient as it can. There will even be state-of-the-art smart sensors to detect piracy products, and the usage of data analytics to combat traffic congestions. To ensure that Singapore is targeting a green environment, it is incorporating the use of the Internet of things or IoT to help deliver sustainable solutions.
Singapore’s government has also taken into account the need for better marine tech-focused businesses in its country, enough for it to justify a massive $15 billion dollar framework for funding to start-ups that operates in green, data processing, and cybersecurity companies.
This investment will help businesses operating in Singapore to help with international transactions, as this is a port there will be a lot of shipments, then the necessity to have good communication, good security, and efficient use of data is such a vital key point for the usage of its port. Cybersecurity is such an essential industry with the years to come, especially knowing that this infrastructure will be operated with the use of technology. It poses a risk for cyber attacks. Hence, Singapore’s investment in better security is an excellent move.
The size of Tuas mega-port will be twice that of Ang Mo Kio New Town, this means that it will have a total capacity of over 65 million twenty-foot equivalent units, which is, more than the current 50 million capacity of current terminals combined. It will even have 8.6 kilometers of wharves and infrastructure to accommodate the world’s largest container ships in the world. It will also construct 21 deep-water berths that will have the capacity to handle 20 million standard-sized container units a year.
The estimated fully operational date of Tuas mega port is still quite a far away, which is the year 2040, the construction has started in 2015. However, this will be constructed into 3 phases, the first phase which will have 294 hectares, and the second phase of about 387 hectares, both of which will be reclaimed land.
The construction of the Tuas mega-port will increase Singapore’s economy to a new level, it is known that over 7 percent of Singapore’s overall GDP was because of the maritime sector, and even more so that it contributes to over 170,000 workers. With the creation of this mega-port, even though it will take away several other jobs because of automation and artificial intelligence, it will still create newer jobs for people who function in the technology world, this is especially important as Singapore is shifting to a more technology stance.
Once the completion of Tuas mega-port has finished, it will finally end the long-running operations of the current PSA city terminals and Pasir Panjang Terminal, which started way back in 1819. This means that Tuas will be the only port Singapore will have.

For those who mention the kra canal are missing the point.
This port is precisely to mitigate the risk of the kra canal.
Today Singapore port competes by being the most efficient and convenient. But the new port will compete in terms of effectiveness and capacity. The new port will have the technical infrastructure and water level depth to accomodate the supertankers and dutch megaships that only a handful of ports can accomodate today.
Singapore will go from that convenient stopover by the way to become the high tech place you will go out of your way to visit.
So the kra canal idea will definately impact Singapore, but it will not be the killer blow.
In fact the kra canal will have a larger negative impact on other ports in the region first than it will have on the new Tuas port.
Thanks for your input! You have great insights. I too believe the same as you, Singapore has a upper hand in terms of its efficiencies and it will be a long way til the Kra Canal can keep up with Singapore's technology advancements.
The Kra Exchange is simply too expensive just for the saving of 2 days of sailing, hence is unlikely to get an investor; though the Arctic Route can lure the mega-industrial might of China, Japan and Korea away from the Malacca Strait - Suez Canal route. This shorter route can save 10 to 12 days of sailing time plus the saving of fuel. Though with the expansion of the the ASEAN's industrial output especially by Indonesia, Tuas may prove to be still attractive. Otherwise, the 3rd or 4th phase may not take place!
@@pahatpahat9566 On the flip side the Arctic route has fewer ports of call along the way so shipping demand will be lower, & it also raises risks for ships e.g. if they break down (which is probably also why Russia insists on escorting ships along that route with icebreakers). For the Kra canal what might be more realistic would be the "land bridge" that's proposed by Malaysia's ECRL rail project, but it's capacity will be lower than ships, so there'll still be some demand going to SG I guess. Of course we don't want to be complacent still
@@lzh4950 , if shipping lines take to the Arctic route, they will concentrate on goods from China-Japan-Korea to EU, they don't need any transshipment ports along the way. Imagine 10 days of amortized cost plus fuel costs and they may be able to do 10 round trip per annum. As for ECRL to offer such service ? Really? just do some costing and time required!
@@lzh4950 , ECRL as land-bridge, would you pay the rate? Land-bridge for what cargo? Kuantan will close shop, once ECRL runs PROPERLY though I will take a pinch of salt on it!
Who would have thought we would be now 50 odd years ago. Singapore can rise with rightful pride and claim her place in the world stage. She is the pinnacle of the region. All the best favours to you Singapore!!!

Informative and fast-paced video. Enjoyed it :) But there’re some inaccuracies - It is built in four phases not three phases and it will be completed in 2040s (not year 2040 specifically)
Thank you, I have checked and you are right! We will update that.
Pasir Panjang will be the last existing port now to be closed (around 2040) as it'll be the last to have its operations merged into Tuas Megaport. In fact it still underwent expansion projects a few years ago I remember

Yup,from sand smuggling and bribing the Malaccan state government
bois malaysian and singaporean business is booming
That is for TTP, as US exist $20B is too expensive now.
As a Thai citizen myself, the Kra Canal project seems illogical. First of all, the project is mostly considered to be cost-ineffective. Next, superpowers would aim to dominate the area (and Thailand's politics and economy), destabilizing the sovereignty of Thailand and ASEAN as a whole. Southern Islamist segregation movements are also a major issue. Therefore, landbridge is preferred by the current government and many economists.
Kra was mainly a Chinese attempt for an alternate to malacca choke point which is under discretion of India to open or block but Thailand(More) and Singapore would have suffered the most from the Kra.
dont worry, the kra canal wont be build, the integrity of thailand is more important
Thailand is already struggling from international interference UK US politicians creating the latest protests with Penguin and Arnon working because they want to go against Chinas Belt. They should purge its south and tell Malaysia to take back its own people. They always threaten Thai Buddhists when they are in Thailand a Buddhist country which they won’t allow. Thailand has to have a Peace Treaty with the Muslim leaders in its southern borders how mind boggling. However if they do anything they would be considered like Burma China and India lol.
The Suez canal host 110 vessels on an average day, the Panama canal much less. The more than 1200 vessels ply the Singapore Strait per day. Do the sums and move on
@@NewmaticKe are you saying that it must be built ?
Jurong Port will remain. Ports in the city will move to Tuas. So proud of you Singapore 🇸🇬
WOW!. Belt and Road is starting to become a reality!.
Time to revisit the Kra Canal project?
no chance that will happen
I imagine if make a small train that the container when open, to put the small containers on it, to a store location that the one in charge of container maybe have delivery company to split locations to send them?
The strategy location make Singapore an attractive international sea port in the world.
Tunngu segenting kra nanti bro...jangan ckap besar temasik 🤭
benefits for whom? no one will put their goods in Singapore anymore bro .. nowadays every neighboring country has its own massive port for example Indonesia is a larger economy in ASEAN they will do direct export and import shipments without stopping in Singapore because it is very profitable free from tariffs transit instead.

Indonesia juga bisa membuat dermaga peti kemas tetapi pemerintah masih terlalu banyak pekerjaan lain.
Saya yakin suatu saat Indonesia akan menyangi ini.
Reclaim land to increase port handling capacity is inevitable if Singapore want to expand its business and not lossing the opportunity cost for not building it.
Malaysia might've been trying to frustrate that & Tuas Megaport when the city of _Johor Bahru_ extended it's port limits/boundaries to overlap with the Megaport in 2018 (just after Mahathir took power in the legislative elections that year, & he isn't as friendly with SG as his predecessor)
@@lzh4950 , I think PSA plans ahead of most ASEAN countries. That is why PSA bought into the China Container Railway system! Now practically all the top ten container shipping lines are into it! I will wait for the impact when China can run their experimental freight train at 350 km per hour across the Eurasian landmass! For sure, air freight within Eurasian landmass is kaput!
@@pahatpahat9566 Some of us here were meanwhile saying that with the gov't being forward-thinking with our port & airport, hopefully they could build ahead of demand for our MRT (subway/metro) network also. In the past some dense neighbourhoods have existed for up to ~40 yrs before they were served by a station. However I guess something tripped up when the gov't proceeded to build Mt Pleasant & Marina S stations from 2014 before building houses/offices beside them. Back then I thought they might build the houses/offices later, but before the stations' scheduled opening this year, but that hasn't happened yet & thus the stations opening have been delayed
Singapore should become the first country in the world with 100% electric vehicles 🚗, no more gas stations, instead of electric stations! It’s time to set another amazing example! 💯

Where the additional containers throughput volume will come from? Considering the BRI project with the imminent new mega deep seaport at Kuantan (facing South China Sea) connected by land bridge to new mega deep water seaport in Malacca, no one will know the outcome of this investment… but of course $15 bil is nothing for S’pore
Surely they have taken all the upcoming changes in the world before building this. Hopefully it does goes well.
The trains along that "land bridge" still have far less capacity than ships though, so I guess there'll still be some business coming to SG's port. The longest cargo train I've heard of are ~15000' (in the USA), which if double-decker for 50% of its length (since need to accommodate some headroom for bogies, locomotives etc.) works out to 150000/40 (the length of 1 container) * (50%+1) = 562.5 40' containers/train, or 562.5*(20/40)=1150 TEUs. On the other hand a single cargo ship can carry tens of thousands of such containers.
Kuantan's limitation as a seaport for containers is too obvious! Though if Arctic route is active, PSA won't go to phase 3 of their plan!
@@lzh4950 , Based on your argument, those Class A operators in the US would have closed shop! And the China-EU rail freight should close almost immediately it was proposed; but the later is still growing. Why don't you ask PSA as to why they bought 15.5% of the China Container Freight Operator? Surely PSA knows better !

Bydaway hoping Thai's kra channel be open soon 👍👍
It will not matter. You will only understand why if you actually comprehend how global transhipment traffic works.
Asnan, In The Year 2525.....
No need to hope you also can open Thai Kra channel via youtube now.
Kra Canal will never happen. The Thai government will not want to split its own country by giving rebellious southern provinces more reasons to secede from Thailand.
Thai already have deal with British in Anglo siamese treaty. They can't built canal because they have backstabbed british during ww2 for letting Japanese Army went thru Attack Malaya from the north to take Malaya and Singapore. If the treaty is broken Malaysia can take the northern part of it's territory in peninsular as it was taken away without agreement from it's people the malay people from malay encient kingdom.

I don't think we all should move Pasir Panjang out, we should keep a spare wharf. What if we all kena one fellow like Beirut like that or some contamination. If the situation goes awry we have a whole port shut. Btr we keep one spare one in Pasir Panjang, anyway we are not that desperate for space. The Tanjong Pagar Docks would suffice in provision of space for our development.
Don't worry, one Iron Dome and one Aster will be stationed there😄

Kra canal might be such factor attribute to the downfall but provided the canal is materialise.
@@emancipator5104 You know that to build the kra canal is very difficult due to many problem. Is not the cost, or the way to build. It face the culture which is very very difficult to over come. I think you need to know why.
@@namlychoo7601 what culture is more challenging than Islamism(Egypt)? If Suez canal& Panama canal can be built why not Kra canal. Both Egypt and Panama having greater challenge in terms of culture and politics than Thailand.
South America having highest crime rate and Egpyt is relatively poorer and less civic than Thailand.
Thailand is liberal, open and welcoming foreingers. In fact, Thailand is the most open for foreigners country in ASEAN other than Singapore. Singapore recently got FICA which shut foreigner critics about the country while you can spot Thai King bicycling in Europe.
Culture is definitely not the deterrent for Kra Canal but politics is. Singapore is afraid of it affecting their port business but Singapore port business come with huge expense at Malaysia navy for maintaining the straits free of pirates.
Kra canal can cut down 1,200km journey and this translate a huge saving for 140,000 vessels passing through the straits. $350,000 per ship per trip, not difficult to do the maths for a year total saving. This is economy alone. Carbon emission will be reduce extremendously.
In terms of politics, the kra canal may be built by US, UK, Netherlands or even Thailand themselves. The Thais monarch himself have the financial capacity to build two times. There's no technical problem given so many canal built in the past. This way, China will benefit from lower logistic cost for raw materials and selling price, the west benefit in terms of political control and product from China, Indochina will all benefit from the shipping traffic.
Anyone who can do the maths know if a canal can benefit at least 200 millions people in Indochina alone compare to 5million Singaporean. The impact extend to the rest of 5billion populations between east and west except America.
@@emancipator5104 Yes, Islam to Egypt is very important. But in Thailand south is a problem to the Buddhist country. By the way you say, you don't understand Thai culture. Can't blame you.

South Thailand have Muslim problem that link to Patani but they neither got legitimacy nor capability to separate by force.
Unlike Egypt and Israel, Thailand and Malaysia don't have the same problem.
Don't forget there's Malaya communist in Southern Thailand as buffer, if the Malaysia trying to help the Muslim in South Thailand to fight Thailand then they will have to go through Malaya communist bordering Malaysia-Thailand.
Ideally, Thailand should do some social engineering to dilute the Muslim population in the south that constantly creating trouble to Thailand government.

with polar ice melting thanks to climate change, shipping via polar route is faster bypassing all the ports down south.
ya. so along the shorter way with only ice and polar bears what trade are you going to have? trade with the bears? another reason why people using the Malacca Straits is mainly because South East Asia is full of resources to trade. Ships offloads and LOAD.

Well there are a lot of advantages and disadvantages to megaprojects like these.
Saying direct shipping is the most effective means is like saying the most effective way to travel is by walking insteading of taking a plane, train or bus.
Nope...the most effective shipping is via the dutch type megaships that can travel across the whole world in one go, shortcut through stormy oceans others cant and carry multiple times the average ship in one go.

If Singapore was so easy to topple, Malaysia would have toppled it years ago.
I believe the value add of Singapore's political and economic stability will be something most people would gravitate to.
In many nations, you can't clear your shipment without some under the table money if you get what I mean. Not something that happens in Singapore, unless as a business, that's what you were looking for to begin with...
Cheaper but may be less cost effective. The size, efficiency and connectivity may trump TP.

@@teerificbitch I read of Indonesians criticizing their ports of bureaucratic inefficiency and illegal activity ('under the table' payment.) Of money needed to download container. No money no hurry.

Just Maersk though mainly MTs, and maybe MTs by Evergreen!
For those proponent of Kra Canal, I like to highlight that the purpose of a shortcut must at least cut the distance significantly. Not sure if Kra Canal provides that.
Also, Singapore's port selling point is of efficiency and cost. Something not easy to duplicate because of politics/culture/time.
Good point!

Singapore have a "one party system" like China which can "get things done" approval very fast! the difference between Singapore and China are the education and legal system.

Singapore practically still under UK colony because it can not independent from Malaysia when it can not federate with it in the first place. This is because according to Vienna Convention, a country must have independent sovereign before it can decide to federate with others which Singapore was not yet an independent sovereign thus it is still British colony. So is Sabah&Sarawak. Malaysia theoretically never exist and Malaya still Malaya except Kelantan didn't sign the Malaysia agreement may rendered the formation of Malaya in jeopardy because it was part of federation of Malaya.

I never favor colonization but a mature state like Singapore may absorb into UK as part of it, not under it, which means Singaporean might have equal stand with the rest of British. An example is Hawaii where it was under US colony but later become part of US and even got one of the resident elected as President of USA. Yes, Barrack Obama is from Hawaii and he is black.
Queen Elizabeth is not racist. Her majesty is modern and liberal thinking. Singapore having better economy than UK in terms of GDP her capita. Given the tiny population in Singapore compare to UK, it will not be a threat whether in terms of social fabric or culture integration.
Sabah and Sarawak might still under colony until they claim back the oil money Malaya looted from them and become as develop as UK. They will have problem absorb into UK if there's huge economy disparity and social differences.

rem NOL , our state own shipping company didnt survived despite big plans. The challenge is sg consumption is too small , so even with a mega port it cant compete with china. only trying to take away some pie. with the advancement and silk road , the cargo dont even need to stop over at sg port.
The maritime traffic volume geospatial analysis begs to differ when comparing Singapore to China. Not to mention, inflow of cargo doesn't necessarily depend on domestic consumption, it isnt a significant challenge. SG is a manufacturing hub for semiconductors, inflow of cargo could be materials, outflow of cargo is end product which depends on foreign consumption. Silk road project isnt really that negative, no land vehicle can carry the same amount of cargo as 1 ship. Both projects do steal a slice of pie from each other, but end up still the same. Just more jobs for Singapore while China creates more jobs across countries.
China ports are for export, singkie port is for transhipment
Either you die trying to fight and survive or you give up completely and wait for the demise of the nation. Which will you have for your next generation or perhaps you already planning a Chinese passport for them ?
Tell you this, it will always be cheaper and easier to ship things through us. All we need is to do our due dilligence to make sure we don't create any chokepoint in the logistic chain that we can continue to earn their money. We cannot do shipbuilding so be it lor, anyway it is not jobs for us, its jobs for cheap labour. We handle the expensive higher end logistics.
Yeah the Silk Road....i'm sure they use Camels to carry their goods.
Semua itu akan sia-sia jika mereka tak memiliki energi.
I pray to my Lord Jesus that my country Philippines be able to catch up with Singapore.
Yea, Ameen
He will say, better luck next time my child
@@pradhip7272 I love Jesus so much.
Nothing is impossible for the Philippines to progress rapidly, have all the vast lands and seas educated human resources all to support you all, good luck ♥♥
I hope Manny Pacquio has same vision like Singaporean leaders, I think he is good ,smart and highly educated. Most importantly Filipino love him..
Thai and Melaka can easily take over. But unfortunately, recently saw in Melaka they build a bridge that leads to a concrete wall.
This is the reality. Cheap doesn't mean good.
Nobody can compete with Singapore professional services.not to mention the strict rule against corruption.
Malaysia had been trying to do better all the time as what they are saying. Saying is easy but doing it is difficult. I hope they will succeed as Singapore will tap on it and do better. Malaysia do well, Singapore will do better. We need Malaysia to do well. We don't compete with anyone but share with all. Jia Yu.
@@namlychoo7601 Thai Kra Canal surely materialise if China step in. With current geopolitic, China need Kra Canal to secure his shipping lane if something goes bad with US. About the south Thailand, its will be not a big issue because the separatist movement were crush long time ago. Thai southern Malay was more Thai than Malay, most of the young generation speak Thai fluently than Malay dialect. Malaysia also never give support for separatist movement & always cooperate with Thailand to fight terrorism. It will be nightmare for Singapore if Kra Canal were built but through history most citystate will peak & decline in short time frame. Venice was good example.
Dude,that bridge leading to a concrete wall was located in Sabah not Melaka lah
@@nononsense5786 The Kra Canal even if it was build will not spell complete doom for Singapore. Shipping is only a part of even if it is a significant part of Singapore's economy. Singapore is also growing in other areas. Whatever there is in Thailand and the Kra peninsula it will be competition but not substitution for Singapore. Throughout history many ports in Malaysia compete with and try to overtake Singapore but Singapore flourished, over ports in Penang, Malacca, and recently in Johor 's Pasir Gudang and Tanjung Pelapas. Singapore advantage is more than location its expertise, efficiency, reliability, lack of corruption, etc. Just like other countries have bigger, more modern airports but Changi remain one of the best, if not the best in the region and beyond.
@@exs1803 You are right. The Kra canal can be done if China put in the investment. However running a port need expertise. Software is no easy to master. Moreover Thai is also superstition. Cutting the country into two part is no good omen.

I beg to differ, china road and belt is no threat. It's already crumbling around the world.
On what basis you say that?
@@mengsiongkheng113 , He must be listening to HMV! His Master Voice!
20B on this future port ?
I wish it success but with the Uncertainty between China n US , could it be OVERLY " 天真 " ? To Be Built So Early , What if its Not Viable n China builts a Mega in other Asian country ???
Planning & construction actually started more than a decade ago. Tuas mega port wasn't just to boost capacity, but also mainly to free up prime land in city downtown and southern Singapore (slated to be redeveloped for residential and mixed-used developments). The first phase will be operational this year, and subsequently up to 2040s as the other city ports shift to the new mega port in Tuas.
@@AimlessSky Good for the timebeing. But putting so much n overly spending
On it , what if it Fails ? Just like our National Stadium , An Eyesore Icon that under utilised for so many years after Opening . Well , Tuas is Another for All to See if under Lhl era , Fails or Succeed ?
@@ericlim428 national stadium ? It run by FT. They pay for it. Once lease over. Take back
@@ericlim428 Sports hub is under PPP (Public-private partnership), financial risk would be on Sports hub (private) that's running the stadium. It wasn't underused, they earn from running international events/tournaments not local events (It is definitely more profitable than the old stadium). For Tuas, it is not just about shipping there are plans for other usage including entertainment and mixed-developments. You could read up on urban-planning, that's the interesting thing part of it that land can easily be reconfigure for other usage. By shifting all the ports to Tuas, you free up prime land in downtown area to be developed for housing and etc.
Singapore foresight is far beyond you imagine. No need to worry about Singapore. Singapore is the skipper in this business for half a century.
Please less stock footage! Otherwise good video, thx.
宁波舟山 ？
Singapore is like small China, building port everywhere
All of this plan useless if.........Thailand starting their segenting kra canal plan.
Wake me up after the next 100 years . . .
lol
lol not until Malaysia realize their forest city with 3 more islands on their side.
Hmm, I haven't researched the forest city yet, do you recommend it?
Malaysia Forest City is not a port LOL It is not competing with Tuas.
And fyi Singapore invested heavily in Forest City.
@@jsanon1634 I'll have a look at it❤
Malaysia has their Penang Port, Malacca Port, Ports of Pasir Gudang and Tg Pelapas in Johor. Rivalry for some goes back to more than a century. And the Johor ports were build in direct competition with Singapore's. But that did not stop Singapore from being the 2nd top container port in the world. It takes more than building mere infrastructures to be the best.
A breakdown of our neighbor's incompetence: Malaysia
1. They waste their time building up different Ports.
Right now for Malaysia they have 3 different ports, Port Klang, Tanjong Pelepas, and Pasir Gudang. Bad enough to spread to so many ports, now they're attempting to build Port of Melaka, a Port in Kelantan, and a Port in Kuantan. Frankly what does that do for your shipping? It just create a dizzying number of ports far away from each other, and difficult to use. How do you expect say a Container to change shipping vessel from Melaka to Kuantan? Tanjong Pelepas is the most dangerous hence, so many container are crossing the Tuas Custom to the Singapore Port, and the agglomeration serves as a benefit to Malaysia and Singapore. Right now you Malaysia have a Port Klang and Tanjong Pelapas both half half, you already so difficult to move goods, and you still want to add more?
2. That silly ECRL.
Nothing short of a political tool to woo PAS voters and reward UMNO supporters, the railway being a standard gauge is incompatible with the rest of the KTM network that uses a metre gauge. This simply makes it impossible to join all the ports together such the Port in Melaka, or industries say in Southern Johor like your Segamat Inland Port. With a shipment that takes longer to circumvent Singapore, its simply stupid to have such a botch up bandaged of a plan to try and takeover Singapore's business. Like this, what's the point of investing in your KTM Electrification and Double Tracking for? You invest, and then your network is unnecessarily incompatible. The railway will simply be there to carry Ikan Talang and Keropok to KL.
3. Building in the Straits of Johor.
Of all places, they decide to build Pasir Gudang so deep in that Malaysia has and must use Singapore Waters for the Boats to get in sailing between Punggol and Pulau Ubin. You know how stupid that sounds when Malaysia so big must squeeze until like this? And then you think a crooked bridge will solve the problem? This type of solution from people in KL, make all the JB and Singapore people toes laugh.
And then as if Pasir Gudang was not bad enough, you finally solve it with Tanjong Pelapas. But you mess it up again, don't need Singapore to block you, you reclaim land in the Straits of Johor to sell to china developers. You have a nice Port and you go block it, you go reflect the stupidity.
Conclusion, Singapore succeeds out of the jaw dropping incompetence of just our neighbor. Even with a SGD1 = RM3, they engage in Mahathir mindgame levels of tactics to the point their economy look like their Parlimen. You give the same location, and in fact better resources and locations in Malaysia, and yet Singapore survives. We build our business, y'all do stupid things and get stupid results.
On a personal anecdote, I ordered a parcel once from China. The parcel went through from the Kota Bahru Port, down to Melaka, to Segamat, then to me. Took them 40 days. And y'all go think whether people can compete with Singapore.
Thanks for the opinion, deserves a pat on the back.. Since I'm a malaysian look forward to see you Singaporeans 50 yrs in the future.. Malaysia will still be here

@@MrBoliao98 thank you for the comments. It was a beautiful answer
@@MrBoliao98 bro.. No point having first world infrastructure but third world arrogance. Be humble please. Singapore was built up with a humble mind, understanding the the breadth of vulnerability of our condition. No reason for us to ever be arrogant regardless of our status. Remember, Venice fell due to complacency. From a fellow Singaporean here, just stay humble yea.
@@endi4654 nothing arrogant about it. We all know how much effort we put in. Everybody is working 7 days a week to keep the ship afloat, and we all know that. Ask anyone else who can work an extra shift from 9 to 12 after work.

@@khtay8731If they locate at Tanjong Pagar somewhere center of Singapore.
The flow of goods still okay , reach logistical companies faster, the goods that we and industry purchase will reach our door step faster.
Shift to tuas mega port so far, need to setup new logistic companies to delivery goods will take longer time.
They should keep or retain some part of tanjong pagar berth for unloading goods.

Imported cheap labour. But cost cost is too high. Make no sense
Future most of the cargo will move by railway, shipping is a dead industry.
Its just a dream for singapore. The time will be over.
Other countries do not want it to happen.
- Thailand will build a new cannal to build new route for shipping. It's shorter and cost efficient.
- Now Indonesia is building many intergrated ports across Indonesia, to grab new shipping route. Indonesia has many options for new route due to big sea across their archipelago.
- Malaysia also enhance their port to be more attractive and efficient.
Singapore port location is more challenging competing their neighbour countries for port business.
Good luck for singapore port, their time will almost over.
Singapore has an edge when it comes to efficiency, security and political stability over it's neighbours.

Hope that after everything is done, Thailand won't develop the Kra Canal suddenly. But again, Singapore will already negotiate with China for them not to finance a Kra Canal and bribe Thai government not to build it before they build the port. Singapore government is smart and always few step ahead.
Bribe always
Kra Canal is stale topic. Wake me up after another 100 years. (The idea of building the canal is already a 100 year-old plan.) If the canal were to be built, psychologically the land would be cut off from the Thai mainland. Moreover there is an ongoing, though small scale, rebellion there, of PULO/Pattani Yala Muslims who want independence/join Malaysia. Definitely the Thai govt will never allow that.
