Happy 2010! In this first month of the first year of the new decade, keep your eyes peeled as we plan to introduce newer stories and fresher content to MND Link. But before that, let us recap how 2009 ended on a dazzling note for the Singapore Botanic Gardens, which wrapped up its 150th anniversary celebrations with a magnificent light-up in Palm Valley.
Looking ahead, 2010 should be a delightful year for those who like having a quiet moment while still staying in the city area – check out the opening of the new community space at the field above the Dhoby Ghaut MRT station.
And for those who have heard of green buildings but are not clear how the technologies work, be sure to read about BCA’s roving public education exhibition. It was launched in City Square Mall, Singapore’s first eco-mall. Meanwhile, HDB takes Singapore’s efforts towards environmental sustainability a step forward by sharing it with an international audience.
Before you go, get an insight into what the younger generation think about Singapore, as a university student shares her impressions of the country and its development after a three-month internship at the ministry.
Have a good read, and best wishes for the new year!
