The document discusses how the Marina Bay Sands in Singapore has contributed to the country by exemplifying principles of good governance. It helped anticipate changes needed for economic growth, like building a casino to attract more tourists. Leaders took actions to solve problems like creating more land by building up and conserving resources. When citizens opposed casinos initially due to gambling concerns, leaders addressed this by introducing a levy for local gamblers to discourage addiction. The expansion of Marina Bay Sands also created more job opportunities and rewards workers who perform well.

principles of governance

5. This is showed by the planning and upgrading the
MBS to expand the city. One feature in the MBS is
the Govt foreseeing the need to build a casino in
SG as it can help in improving the economy of SG
by attracting more tourists because the change is
very important so as to sustain SG’s growth in the
21st century. Hence , the Govt has anticipate
changes and stayed relevant.
6. A good leader has to be honest , capable and able to
foresee and solve the problems of SG. The leaders
knew that SG has limited resources hence taking
action to solve this problems by building high rise
buildings and underground infrastructures to save
land , Marina Barrage and NEWater to conserve water
and Eco-friendly fans powered by solar panels to
conserve energy. Hence, SG’s Govt has the leadership
to lead SG.
7. When the government first wanted to build a
casino , citizens were concerned about people
being addicted to gambling, therefore the leaders
heard what the citizens said as they believed
everyone in SG has a say and solved the problem
by introducing a levy of $100 for local gamblers.
Introducing the levy forces poor gamblers to not
be able to gamble frequently at the casino hence
decreasing the number of addicted gamblers.
8. Expansion of MBS provided more job
opportunities. If the workers work hard to get
promoted, they will also get rewarded by getting
higher pays which strives them to always do better
in their job. As a result the MBS will be more
successful and it will increase the number of
investments on Singapore.
