~MARINA BAY SINGAPORE
Done By:
NG SI XIAN (13) 3S1

2.  Question:
 Explain how Marina Bay
serve as a model to the
Principles Of Governance
deployed to help
Singapore sustain its
growth in the 21st
century.

3.  Marina Bay
 Located at the Southern tip of Singapore,
Marina Bay was designed to expand
Singapore's downtown district as well as
further sustain the growth of the country
with the aim of being a major business and
advanced financial hub in Asia.

4. Principles of Governance
 The following
principles were shown
through Marina Bay
developments:
 1) ‘Leadership is Key’
 2) ‘Anticipate change
and stay relevant’
 3) ‘A stake for
Everyone,
Opportunities for All’

5. Building of Marina Bay Sands
 To begin with, the principle of
governance, ‘Anticipate change and
stay relevant’ .
 There were good governance, the government
had anticipated change that Singapore would
need to improve further so as to compete
against other countries in aspects of
development in this advanced 21st century.

6. Thus, the Marina Bay Sands was built,
helping in the globalisation of
Singapore.
This contributed greatly to the country’s
developments, as tourists were
attracted into Singapore as well as the
foreign investors. Due to the, economic
prosperity as well as high quality of life
and vibrancy.

7. One example is, in the
‘Shoppes at Marina Bay’, which
included many global brands and
companies.
It provided more investments
opportunities for investors.
Also, providing more choices
for place of attractions to tourists
for them to go to.
The Marina Bay Sands is The Marina Bay Sands had
another place which improves also raised the international

shopping mall.

~These structures helps preserve the limited resources in
Singapore. Such as:
~Less fuels would be burned to produce energy, thus saving cost
to buy the fuels.
~More spaces would also be saved in the relatively small sized
Singapore.
So that there would be more resources left for the other uses related to the
growth and development of Singapore or for the next generations, thus it also
helps in the sustaining of the growth of the country.

10. Principle of governance’ Leadership
is key’
 However, without the guidance of the
capable leaders in the country, the plan of
building the Marina Bay Sands would not
be able to succeed.
 Thus, this shows the importance of the
roles of leaders.

11. Principle of governance ‘A stake
for everyone, opportunities for all’
Based on my contextual knowledge, Some people were
not in favour of building a casino in Singapore, as they
were concerned about the social impact caused by it.
However, through the feedback sessions, the leaders did
the necessary actions to ensure that problem gambling
was well controlled.
This showed that there would be a chance and part for
everyone to play in. Without the public’s feedbacks and
response to the issue, the government would face greater
difficulties in curbing the problems.

12.  Finally, the Marina Bay Sands indeed
resulted to economic development,
and helped Singapore turn into a city
which flourish in arts and
entertainments.
