3. 4 Principles of Governance
•Leadership is key
•Anticipating changes and Stay Relevant
•Reward for work and Work for Reward
•A stake for everyone, opportunities for all
4. Leadership is Key
•MBS is developed to support the existing offices in Marina
Bay
•TheGovernment planned Marina Bay Sands with extensive
pedestrian network to ensure good connections
•MBSis made vibrant by having a soul stakeholders
community.
5. Leadership is Key
•Leaders do what it is right by building MBS even
though many people were not happy with the
decision.
•The government is very honest and incorruptible
as they have built a well-known shopping centre
and casino in Singapore.
6. Anticipating Changes and Stay
Relevant
•Our leaders are very forward-looking.
•The MBS was developed to increase the
employment rates and attract tourists.
•It also attracted many foreign investments from
global brands like Gucci and Chanel to open
shops in MBS The Shoppes.
•This will boost Singapore’s economy
7. Anticipating Changes and Stay
Relevant
•Our leaders have also known that
social problems such as gambling
addiction may increase if casinos were
opened in Singapore.
•They try to prevent this problem by
requiring all Singapore Citizens to pay
$100 to enter the casino.
•This would discourage Singaporeans to
gamble and less people would become
gamble addicts.
8. Anticipating Changes and Stay
Relevant
•Singapore has limited natural resources
•The Breeze Shelter in Marina Bay Sands is
powered by solar energy.
•It will only function when a person is detected
under the shelter.
•Therefore, no fuel is needed and it will save a lot of
energy.
9. Anticipating changes and Stay
Relevant
•Singapore also has limited land.
•The government had to plan the use of our land
carefully to ensure that there are spaces for both
buildings and recreational activities
•Underground shops were also built to maximise
the spaces underground.
10. Reward for work and Work for
Reward
•The surplus from Singapore’s growth has been
shared among all Singaporeans as a form of
reward for their hard work.
11. A Stake for Everyone, Opportunities
for all
•The government are open to feedbacks from the
public in the construction of MBS.
•This is to improve the MBS and understand the
concerns of the people.
•This can also minimise the problems we might
face after the building of MBS.
