He committed suicide by drowning himself in a river to protest against corrupt politics. Every year on his memorial day, people throw rice balls into the sea, which is said to attract fish and sea monsters to prevent his body from being eaten.

When Qu Yuan threw himself into the river, the fishermen desperately rowed their boats to rescue Qu Yuan. Their behavior at that time has evolved into today's Dragon Boat Festival activity - dragon boat racing. In Singapore, the most exciting part of the Dragon Boat Festival celebrations is the International Dragon Boat Invitational Race in East Coast Park. (World Invitational Dragon Boat Race)! In this annual festival, dragon boat teams from all over the world gather here to compete.

Sentosa Sentosa is located in the southern part of Singapore's main island, half a kilometer away from the city center. The Malay name of this idyllic resort island means peace and tranquility. It was transformed from a fishing village into a British military base and later into a resort island in 1972.

The island is lush and green, with fascinating adventure parks, natural trails, museums and historical sites, etc., making people escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. Those who love the sea can enjoy relaxing water activities along the beach.

Merlion Park Merlion Park is the smallest park in Singapore, covering an area of ??only 0.0071 hectares. It is located at the mouth of the Singapore River, and the theme of the park is the Merlion statue standing next to Anderson Bridge.

The Merlion was designed in 1964 by Brunner, the former director of Van Cleef Aquarium, and was also the former logo of the Singapore Tourism Board. The Tourism Bureau later commissioned the deceased famous sculptor Lin Langxin to sculpt the 7-meter-tall Merlion statue according to Brenner's design at a cost of $165,000. It was placed at the mouth of the Singapore River in March 1972. . In addition, there is also another small Merlion statue in the park that can spray water.

However, the Merlion Park has begun to become obsolete after years of baptism. The Merlion also stopped spraying water due to damage to the water pump in 1998, and the small bricks on its body began to discolor and peel off. Moreover, the vast view of the Merlion is now blocked by the Marina Bay Bridge. Even if visitors go to the Merlion Park to admire it up close, they can only see its back.

In addition, the Merlion Park is small and cannot accommodate vehicles and tourist buses. There are no shopping stores, restaurants or other recreational facilities in the park.

The Tourism Bureau has decided to spend NT$6 million to relocate the Merlion Park. The new Merlion Park is expected to be completed in mid-2002. It will be relocated from its current location on Elizabeth Trail to the riverside diagonally in front of Fulton One, and the baby Merlion will also be located near the Merlion.

1. Singapore’s experience in economic development

Singapore’s traditional economy is mainly based on commerce, including re-export trade, processing exports, shipping, etc. Now, with the manufacturing and service industries as the twin engines of economic growth, the industrial structure is continuously improved. In the 1990s, special emphasis was placed on the information industry, and investment has been made in the construction of the "Singapore Integrated Network" across the island. In order to further promote economic growth, vigorously promote the "regional economic development strategy", accelerate overseas investment, and actively carry out economic activities abroad. The economy is dominated by five major sectors: commerce, manufacturing, construction, finance, transportation and communications. Industry mainly includes manufacturing and construction. Manufacturing products mainly include electronic products, chemicals and chemical products, machinery and equipment, transportation equipment, petroleum products, oil refining and other sectors. It is the third largest oil refining center in the world. Agriculture accounts for less than 1% of the national economy, mainly poultry breeding and aquaculture. All food is imported, and self-produced vegetables account for only 5%. Most of the food is imported from Malaysia, China, Indonesia and Australia. The service industry is the leading industry for economic growth. Including retail and wholesale trade, hotel tourism, transportation and telecommunications, financial services, business services, etc. Tourism is one of the main sources of foreign exchange earnings, and the main attractions include Sentosa Island, Botanical Gardens, Night Safari, etc. Currency name: Singapore dollar (Singapore dollar for short)

2. Experience in attracting investment

After independence, the government adhered to liberal economic policies, vigorously attracted foreign investment, and developed a diversified economy. Since the early 1980s, China has accelerated the development of capital-intensive, high-value-added emerging industries, invested heavily in infrastructure construction, and strived to attract foreign investment with the most superior business environment.

3. Experience in port and logistics management

Since the 1990s, the modern logistics industry has developed rapidly around the world, maintaining a high growth rate of 20% to 30% for 10 consecutive years. , making it one of the three major sunrise industries along with high-tech and financial industries. With its unique geographical advantages and government policy guidance, Singapore has developed into one of the world's recognized logistics centers.

Six Characteristics of Singapore’s Logistics Industry

As a free trade city, Singapore has developed and complete sea and air transportation and telecommunications communication networks. On this basis, Singapore’s logistics industry has developed in recent years. fast. As of 2001, the logistics industry accounted for 8% of Singapore's GDP, and the number of employees in logistics-related industries reached 92,000, accounting for 5% of the country's total working population. World-renowned logistics companies such as DHL, FedEx, and Schenker have all set up regional headquarters in Singapore. The modern logistics industry has become one of Singapore's pillar industries. Singapore's logistics industry presents the following six characteristics:

High concentration

The Singapore government has set up a logistics park near Changi International Airport, attracting dozens of large logistics companies to settle in, reaching a relatively high level. Good economies of scale. The high concentration of Singapore's logistics industry has greatly facilitated customer contact business, making it possible to find professional logistics providers in various aspects such as transportation, warehousing, and distribution in the logistics park.

Highly professional

Logistics companies in Singapore have obvious unique characteristics: they either specialize in providing a full range of logistics services for companies in a certain industry, or they provide services to various industries. Customers in the industry provide logistics services in a certain link, such as supply chain services. The specificity of services is an important reason why Singapore logistics companies are able to provide high-quality services. Take Singapore's local Accord Logistics Company as an example. In order to successfully complete the professional distribution services it undertakes for the Swedish skf company in the Asia-Pacific region, Accord has established a dedicated skf warehouse.

Strong Strength

Singapore’s logistics companies are generally strong. This is mainly due to the good development environment created by the Singaporean government, which has attracted the attention of many internationally renowned logistics companies, making them They have set up their Asian regional headquarters in Singapore, including United Parcel Service, the leader in the global logistics industry, and FedEx, the second largest company in the world. The strong strength of these global logistics giants in terms of capital, transportation tools, and management level has promoted the rapid development of Singapore's local logistics industry.

Extremely efficient

Singapore’s logistics industry fully embodies the meaning of "efficiency". This is not only due to the superior geographical location of the Singapore Logistics Park (adjacent to the airport and well-connected transportation), It also lies in the smooth flow of all its links. Taking customs clearance procedures as an example, the Singapore government uses the "Trade Network" to achieve paperless customs clearance.

It is particularly worth mentioning that Singapore is dominated by re-export trade, which means that many goods arriving at international transportation hubs such as Singapore ports and airports are not imported into Singapore, but only stay briefly and then are transferred to other countries. In this process, these transportation hubs have become important places for logistics. Therefore, many logistics companies have set up special warehouses within the airport. For goods that need to be transshipped in Singapore, the company will tally and transship them on the spot in the airport warehouse, which not only improves work efficiency but also saves transportation costs.

Comprehensive services

With the vigorous development of the modern logistics industry in Singapore, the scope of logistics services is unprecedentedly wide and detailed, and the logistics industry has developed in the direction of "tailor-made" . In the past, Singapore logistics companies provided customers with a certain fixed model of services. Now, these companies have turned to "tailor-made" services to meet customer needs as the starting point and final destination, which are jointly studied by logistics companies and customers. Choose one or several of the most ideal service methods, and finally find the solution that can provide customers with the most low cost.

Powerful technology

Singapore logistics companies have basically realized the automation of the entire operation process. They are equipped with high-tech warehousing equipment, fully automatic three-dimensional warehouses, wireless scanning equipment, automatic withdrawal systems, etc. Modern information technology equipment. It can be said that high technology is one of the main supporting forces of Singapore's logistics industry, and network technology is the top priority.

Network technology mainly includes the government’s public network system and the computer technology platform of logistics companies. The Singapore government launched the "Trade Network" system to enable online information exchange between enterprises and government departments. In addition to the public network provided by the government, logistics companies have spent millions of dollars to build computer technology platforms. Through this technology platform, customers can not only place orders and other business contacts, but after the consigned goods enter the company's operation, customers can also know the real-time spatial location of the goods delivered through the company's network at any time, and understand the transportation link of the goods at that time. and estimated delivery time.

Modern technology also ensures the safety of goods. In the specific operations of various logistics companies, barcodes and wireless scanners ensure the safety of goods, enabling tens of millions of goods to be delivered every day with an accuracy of over 99.99%.

The government supports the "one-stop" development of logistics

The modern logistics industry is one of Singapore's pillar industries and one of the country's important economic lifelines. In order to build Singapore into a logistics center in Asia, the Singaporean government has made tremendous efforts.

The Singapore government’s planning for the development of the logistics industry can be traced back to 1997. In July 1997, the Singapore Logistics Advocacy Committee formulated a development agenda. In the same year, the Singapore Trade Development Council united 13 government agencies, including Customs, Economic Development Bureau, Civil Aviation Authority, Productivity and Standards Bureau, Information Development Bureau, Maritime and Port Authority, etc. , launched the "1997 Logistics Industry Improvement and Application Plan".

After the success of this plan, the Singapore government launched the "Logistics Industry Improvement and Application Plan 1999" and the "Logistics Industry Improvement and Application Plan 2001". This series of plans successfully integrates transportation, warehousing, distribution and other logistics links into "one-stop" services. These plans mainly include the following four contents.

Process Transformation

In order to develop efficient and scientific logistics processes, the Singapore government commissioned expert consultants to conduct a number of studies and encouraged industry players to actively participate in this activity. Under the leadership of the government, Singapore government consultants have successfully completed research on topics such as "Challenges and Business Opportunities in the Logistics Industry", while the industry has completed research plans such as "Pallet Standardization".

Infrastructure

After the Singapore government promoted the vigorous development of the logistics industry, it immediately launched a logistics infrastructure construction plan. After becoming independent from the government structure in 1997, the Maritime and Port Authority has been committed to improving logistics infrastructure: on the one hand, it has introduced high-tech, including electronic entry systems and fully automated bridge cranes; on the other hand, at Changi Airport A logistics park has been opened nearby, attracting international third-party logistics companies to set up new headquarters and regional logistics centers.

Human Resources

In 1999, the Singaporean government introduced the latest developments in logistics technology knowledge in the form of logistics lectures, and launched government-school cooperation, international exchanges, and encouraged other talents with potential Industry talents are transferred to logistics sects and other logistics talent training programs. That year, the National University of Singapore and the Georgia Institute of Technology in the United States cooperated to establish the Asia Pacific Logistics Institute in Singapore and offered dual master's degree programs. In 2000, the first batch of students from Asia Pacific Logistics College graduated and received the "Certified Professional Certificate in Logistics" (CPL).

Logistics Technology

In 1999, the government formulated a science and technology development program for the logistics industry, with the goal of building public electronic corridors and promoting low-cost electronic data exchange in the industry. So far, the Singapore government has built public electronic platforms such as "Port Network" and "Trade Network", and will launch electronic invoices and electronic payment systems for the air transport industry and electronic data exchange systems for the air transport industry.

Aviation Logistics

The representative of Singapore’s aviation logistics is Changi International Airport. This airport is known as the most modern international airport in Southeast Asia, handling more than 20 million passengers every year. It has been rated as "The Best Airport in the World", "The Best Airport in the Asia-Pacific Region", and "The World's Most Popular Airport" for many consecutive years. . The Civil Aviation Administration of China has been studying and formulating the development plan of Changi Airport from time to time to ensure that the airport has sufficient capacity to cope with the strong growth of air traffic in the Asia-Pacific region. Changi Airport houses the Changi Air Cargo Center, covering an area of ??47 hectares. It is a free trade zone that operates 24 hours a day. This one-stop service center provides equipment and services required for loading and unloading air cargo. Every day, no matter what time of day, it takes only one hour for the goods to be unloaded from the aircraft and delivered to the consignee.

Port Logistics

Singapore not only has an excellent deep-water port, but also built 4 container terminals. The Port of Singapore can handle more than 15 million containers every year and is the world's largest single container terminal operator. Singapore's long-term goal is to develop the country into an all-round integrated logistics hub integrating sea, land, air and warehousing. To achieve this goal, the Port of Singapore has recently taken new initiatives. On the one hand, the port management strategy is adjusted and new measures are formulated to prepare to open the port to allow shipping companies to own self-operated terminals in the form of joint ventures, and to welcome international port operating groups to invest in and develop terminals in Singapore. On the other hand, it focuses on technological transformation and improves productivity by tapping internal potential. In March 2002, the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore conducted a pilot program to adopt an automatic identification system in Singapore's seaports to avoid ship collisions and improve the safety of port navigation.

Land Logistics

While Singapore is actively developing public transportation, it also uses a variety of economic regulation methods to control the growth of private transportation, with private cars as the main body. The public transportation system is complete and diverse, including large-capacity subway systems, light rail systems, bus systems, and taxi systems. It is characterized by wide network coverage and fast and efficient operation.

The electronic road toll system is an advanced intelligent highway management system implemented by the Singapore government. It consists of electronic automatic billing gates distributed at road intersections in the central area, IC payment cards installed on-board (all vehicles nationwide), and data Transmission and central control system. Any vehicle entering the central area will automatically be deducted a certain fee when passing through the system.

4. Experience in industrial development and environmental governance

Singapore’s excellent environmental record is due to solid and strong political leadership. Since Singapore's economic development, it has adhered to a strategy, which is to make arrangements in advance, plan ahead, and take a long-term view. He expressed admiration for China's efforts in environmental pollution in recent years. In the 1950s and 1960s, Singapore's environmental problems and the trade on which the country relied for survival could not provide opportunities for the employment population. In order to solve this problem and improve the standard of living, we must To plan. However, in their planning and planning, they carefully invested in basic environmental measures, strengthened legislative and regulatory controls, and strived to use the most advanced technology and culture from other countries. In order to cope with the rapid industrialization, Singapore has carried out extensive environmental protection Plans, including prevention, enforcement, education, and more. He expressed that Singapore is willing to learn from the experience of other countries, including learning from China's experience. To innovate with the help of environmental protection through science and technology, in order to succeed, people must cooperate with the government.
