Singapore to develop Delhi to a smart city?
Nov 15, 2014 - Many Indian cities including Delhi may be aspiring to be “smart” but that’s easier said than done. Singapore which is now working towards positioning itself as the first “smart nation” has done it through meticulous urban planning to use land, water and power most efficiently. Masagos Zulkifli, Its Masagos Zulkifli, minister in home and foreign affairs who met Indian journalists on Friday as part of media visit organised by Singapore International Foundation (SIF) said Indian cities first need basic planning to make lives comfortable for people.
Zulkifli said Singapore government is open to developing Delhi as a smart city but it depends on the Indian government who they finally choose. “Singapore can help the new government led by PM Modi short circuit the process of becoming smart....

The above article was posted in TRE. I hope we are not insulting the Indians by telling them that they need to build smart cities and they can’t do it and must need out help. I am sure India has many super talents that could easily build all the smart cities they want. They have built rockets to the moon, to Mars. You mean they don’t have talents to build smart cities? Who is kidding who?
What about all the talents that India is sending here to help us to grow our economy? What about all the super India talents being appointed to CEO positions in Singapore because we could not find such talents among Singaporeans? What about all the Indian recruiters saying they could not find Singapore talents and must go back to India to recruit talents to work in Singapore? Did these things say how good Indian talents are and how lousy our talents are? Or our talents are only good in building smart cities and nothing else?
What if India turns around and say, ‘Hey, we will build smart cities for you. Just give us the money will do. And don’t think too highly of yourself. You think Indians are stupid ya?’

I don't know if the Singapore model can be simply "transferred" to Delhi.
However, Singapore does indeed posses the talent and resources to make smart cities.
Ask most expats and you'll discover why they like Singapore so much: EVERYTHING WORKS!
"What about all the talents that India is sending here to help us to grow our economy?"

Ya lah, but that is only one way mah. That's why the other way is we go and develop smart city there lah.
Always remember, such things are always 2 way one hor. Wu lai wu ke. Got come got go.
India Got Talents
India is never short of talents.
All over the world Indians are holding top top positions.
Give them the money.
They will built for you cost effective world-class smart city.

Cheers.
Its like a small mouse thinking of marrying an elephant. P.S. I just maen to be less vulgar.
India does not need us. They have a billion people, 200 times more than Singapore. Where to find talent in Singapore where we have to import talents from other countries including India. What talking Cock is he?
Hope the gov will not screw up again this time (last time in china) and make taxpayers pay for their mistakes thru holding back cpf and low cpf interest return.
Should question why SG is considered a smart city. We burn gas and rubbish for power, and generate the most CO2 per head in the world. 80% of us live in pigeon holes made up of four walls. Where's the smart in these?

Because PAP govt is smart mah. If not, how can they rule SG by winning election after election, u tell me lah?
They burnt cars after 10 years of use. Bloody wasteful policies.
I don't understand how PAP can help Delhi become a smart city ...
PAP Ministers are always saying PAP needs Foreign Talents to create jobs in Singapore.
can the PAPigs lurking in this blog please clarify?
Of cos SG is a smart city - the people has very little and the rulers have more than they ever needed/wanted for at least 3 generations. Who says not 'smart'?
India can learn how to coe, erp, hdb, cpf, ns, foreign talent, gdp at all cost, pwp, grc, etc etc. India can be a smart country too by learning all these!
Some people don't even know that they are obsolete. China and India have the talents and technology to do what they want. India may not have the funds for luxury projects, but China can throw money into their faces.
Want to teach them how to F....
