In Singapore the National Parks does a wonderful job, taking care of all public plants, trees and landscapes to the fullest. There should be a national movement to promote the love of nature to Singaporeans, and in time to come, the national landscape of the country could be a national icon of beauty to its people.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1134927702478343838.post-74763969490941974232007-04-28T01:24:00.000-07:002007-04-28T01:24:00.000-07:00Talking of holidaying in Japan, I was on a look-ou...Talking of holidaying in Japan, I was on a look-out for litters on buses and trains, but I hardly found any, the same went with Kyoto, Kanagawa, and Wajima.

I went across to some shops, still no rubbish bin in sight. Finally I saw a bin just inside a shop entrance and I threw it in. I was wondering to myself, why is that there are many rubbish bins located in public areas in Singapore but not in Tokyo? I believe the authorities want the Japanese to be more disciplined and responsible when disposing their waste items, not to rely on the govt too much.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1134927702478343838.post-76273630811564639902007-04-22T18:17:00.000-07:002007-04-22T18:17:00.000-07:00In earlier years, Singapore used to locate its pol...In earlier years, Singapore used to locate its police force in big district stations. Later on Singapore implemented the Koban system, the Japanese way of decentralising the police force into small police posts. It spreaded to all HDB housing estates, not only enhancing the security of these places, but also improve rapport between the citizens and the police.

I was astonished by the cleanliness of it, toilet bowl sparkling, walls, floor, spotlessly clean and flushing cisterns in top condition. I thought to myself, it must be those a one-off thing, until we went to a small fishing town called Wajima. Because of the Winter, the wind from the Japan sea was really biting, we all went into a convenient stall to take cover. Again I need to go the store toilet to ease myself, and I found the toilet condition absolutely clean, as good as the previous one in Kyoto. There was no suprise this time around. This is no co-incidence, cleanliness is part of the Japanese way of life.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1134927702478343838.post-58304605117538999762007-04-19T08:00:00.000-07:002007-04-19T08:00:00.000-07:00I was conducting some 5S trg at a local co. when t...I was conducting some 5S trg at a local co. when the boss shared this with the class. He said that when Japanese housewives sweep they front porch, they sweep the dirt inwards, i.e. towards their house. And they will even sweep the public road in front of their houses.

After a heavy rain, water from the pitch would gush down a drain from the field, down the slope, and finally ended up into the sea. One day one of our technical officers observed that the water draining into the sea was in actual fact very wasteful. Out of his own initiative, he arranged with the environmental people to collect the water from the barricaded drain to water plants and trees in public areas on daily basis, but before that he persuaded the department to build a small barricade to dam the water before reaching the sea. His effort won recognition from the Port for saving a valuable resource - water.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1134927702478343838.post-55497640293919856712007-04-18T02:36:00.000-07:002007-04-18T02:36:00.000-07:00A few years ago, I was helping a friend to send so...A few years ago, I was helping a friend to send some documents to an insurance company at Middle Road. I managed to locate it and found that it was a small company. When I entered it, I was very impressed of its layout - office spotlessly clean, tables with PCs neatly arranged in a row, manager's office tucked in the rear overlooking clearly when customers came in, arch files uniformly grey, of same size, lining neatly against the wall. In short, the office was a model of good 5S management. When I left the office, I noticed a small coffee table with a large fake golden frog, placed on it, at the same time facing the main door. I had the impression the boss was not only good in his 5S management, he was also a keen fengshui practitioner.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
