Yeah, Singapore is a small country with a small supply of clear water. Thank God I'm Indonesian :)
But the lack of water then make people of Singapore to have a dream, to always have a clear water everyday whenever they need. As we know, water is a main need in our life.
They have a BIG Dream to consume clear water cheaply, like us. From that BIG Dream, they then make a huge dam in Singapore to keep the supply of water in stabil condition. And on November 1st 2008 it was officially opened. People of Singapore could be happy, they will never feel lack of clear water anymore.
The one point that I love is, from a difficulties, people then can have a BIG Dream then they will make it come true.
Not only a huge dam. Marina Barrage was made for public. The designer want people of Singapore can feel so close with water and have a bond with water. They hope from that bond they will have respect of water. Supported by the discipline of the people, Marina Barrage is still looks beautiful until now. The people feel happy to have a big dam because instead of a big dam, there also a recreation space there, to enjoy your afternoon, play kite, or just for having fun. It was designed beautifully for public.
Marina Barrage was opened 24/7 for people. Whenever you need to refresh your mind, you can go there. It is eco-friendly because its electric resource is from solar. They really have a HUGE DREAM,huh???
one more point that I got, when the Water technician said "Marina Barrag is an implementation of our dream", I know they are BIG People because a big nation made from the people who have a BIG Dream.
At the end of the interview about Marina Barrage, the technician give a warm greet to Indonesian, I think this is why People of Indonesia love this small country -_____-"
He said,"Thanks to come and listen about Marina Barrage and thanks to response kindly. We love to explain about Marina Barrage whenever you need. Just come back to Singapore and enjoy it :)"
Oh God, they really proud of what their country and what they have..
