- 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.

This nations always progressing to become ahead of other country.. As a Malaysian, i envy them for having a wise leader that keep focusing on make country better, less corruption, and care a lot for their country, instead of transferring their assets to offshore account as reported in Pandora Papers.

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!!!
How sustainable Singapore’s economy is. As a Malaysian, I am proud of my neighbor. In terms of stable politics so as to be able to make the government's policy work, different from Malaysia. Politicians are still crazy for positions. Even the government's policy may be challenged. And the Malaysian government is still hesitant to raise the statutory limit of the country's debt. So Sad.

Marvelous engineering work in progress. Mega port in the making, amazing! 🏤🏤
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
Majula Singapura!! God bless Singapore
Jurong Port will remain. Ports in the city will move to Tuas. So proud of you Singapore 🇸🇬
Hooray you're back!
Thank you :)!
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

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! 💯
That's an amazing idea! Think it's achievable within the next decade atleast.
Singapore government is aiming for 2040 to phase out oil/petrol cars. I would say that it is quite likely that it will be the first all-electric country.

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
Fully automated? Battlefield 2042 predicted Singapore
Not really, Battlefield 2042 is based off the existing Brani terminal which has already been automated. Former crane operators are now controlling those automatic cranes from an operation center instead of being on the crane itself
ww3 not far away from us this decade
In my fictional world, Malaysia surpasses Singapore in every area because they have Boboiboy and Ejen Ali
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 !
In my fictional world, this project already finished and successful
That is for TTP, as US exist $20B is too expensive now.
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?
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!
Kra Canal project will be backed by China to secure their shipping lane if conflict with USA goes really bad. Everybody knows thai politician was corrupt. If Singapore can buy them to put hold the canal project, its just matter of times before China offer them higher offers to proceed with the plan.
@@nononsense5786 Can't say I agree. Again, Singapore is adopting a neutral approach and ASEAN as a whole prefers not to choose. So to avoid being being caught in a bind, China could just not "force the issue".
@@nononsense5786 If the US can supposedly disrupt China's shipping lane through Singapore, they can certainly disrupt it through Thailand and the Kra Canal if it is built. Its not about economics, its really about military. China wants to extent its power throughout SEA just like what it is doing through the SCS. It want to manipulate, control other countries by establishing ports but use them as military base. Like what happened to Sri Lanka.
@@nononsense5786 When did Singapore ever pay or intend to pay the corrupt Thai to put hold on the Canal project??
Time to revisit the Kra Canal project?
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😄
I am sure there are contigencies plan. No point having another port. Just like there is no need to have another airport besides Changi.

@@bell-xk5dd Paya Lebar will move in 2030(if not mistaken). The area will be developed, namely for HDBs
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.

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.
Well done & Good job SG!👏

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.

@@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.
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.
Can't be that bad! ASEAN is growing and the Intra-Asian trade will be growing too!
WOW!. Belt and Road is starting to become a reality!.
In modern times people are demanding efficiency, direct shipping will be more demanding.
Most likely entrepot trade will see next to nothing.
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.
Today only a few ports can dock such ships. And Singapore will Be the next one.
@@jayshen84 Yes, thanks to the new port they'll be able to do so. Your input is amazing! That requires deep knowledge of the industry, do you work in a related one?
@@jayshen84
Direct shipments will enable incidental costs to go down, save times and efforts.
@@lngkfan that kind of efficiency the cost would be same as air freight but much slower, so most would choose to fly instead of sail. Tankers go across oceans and call on major cities to offload and load goods, in other words, trade.
We will see the development of which country will become a maritime leader in ASEAN, plans can be made but the reality can actually go wrong.. like the Evergreen property sector in China they said 'too big to fall'', do not underestimate neighbors.
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.
@@namlychoo7601 having been to Thailand many times from South to North. I don't think Thai culture is a predicament for the project.
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.

In my fictional world, Malaysia is more richer than Singapore because they have Boboiboy and Ejen Ali
Wrong description! Ningbo-Zhoushan port is the third busiest after Shanghai and Singapore. Get your facts straight!
If it is pure tonnage, it is No.1!
Few main player has move to Tanjung Pelepas from singapore port .. citing more cost effective.. good luck the new port
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.
Everyone would come to a supermarket where everything/anything needed is available under one roof . . .
@@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. Of container truckers complaining about being asked to pay even before entering the port by 'port mafia' , of ships being asked to wait outside of port for a day or two because 'port is busy downloading uploading containers ' . . .
Just Maersk though mainly MTs, and maybe MTs by Evergreen!
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 basic education system mainly "import from UK" Cambridge GCE O and A Level plus almost 99% information accessible via internet which the education is more open and global in University level. The legal system follow the rules of laws build on the UK legal foundation due to past history .
This set Singapore apart from China "one party system" which we are currently see cracks with the Chinese
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.
@@emancipator5104 golly what are you going on about colony... check UN membership and you know who is or isn't independent country. This is 2021 not 1960
@@superchargerone Vienna Convention shall be abide by all UN member of which how it define independent sovereign.
I'm not against Sabah, Sarawak and Singapore in any way, in fact, I like these 3 States more than Malaya because they are having better racial harmony and not so Islamic crazy.
However, I'm long to be a British and I shall favor British stand on whatever decision, whether to claim or to give independence, until then, I have no influence on the matter.
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.

@@davidanalyst671 Lee Kuan Yew (LKY) is indeed impressive during his era but he is a dictator from the West point of view. Made opposition silence, bankrupt political opponent and gerrymandering election. Singapore is not so democratic but also proof that tiny nation need not be so democratic to thrive equally well.
I favour kra canal and hope it will be build soon. The whole world west meets east bigger picture must be a priority rather than only favors one country.
Kra canal favors China more than Thailand. Thailand will be split into two due to the southern muslim vs northern Buddhist fractions.
Built soon ? It’s been 2 years but yet still talking about it with no sound at all 😆
Well done

Is a small family with 1 child easy to take care of or a family with 5 children ?
That's so random! That very much depends on your financial, social and mental situation.
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.
In Malaysia we have 1mdb. A country run by Chinese is always better. Weldone Singapore.

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.
When mrt station
Indonesia also build new port biger than this
Wow, what's the name of that port?
yeah, ngl indo, sg and mal will soon become trade rivals

i assume they have also factor into their planning sea level rise sudden (worst case scenario) and so on then. No need a port when its 6 feet under water.

Qwi, if you're from Singapore, looks like Singapore is Too big for you. Where have you been all this while? FYI fyi Tuas port has been under development for more than 25 years. It is called planned self funded Strategic Investment.... For the Future which is now today. Notice the difference?

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.
Her shining glory is over.
The intention is for sustainability and not for glory. If the main intention is clear and sincere the rest may come smoothly.

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.

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.
