It has been two
months since I have last posted. As some of my loyal readers know, Chinese New
Year (CNY ) shopping tour always takes up all my
time. Well now that CNY shopping season is over, I am back! As promise in my previous
post, a quick write up on Pulau Semakau Landfill.
Pulau Semakau
Landfill is an offshore landfill using a membrane to carve out a section of the
sea using Pulau Semakau as anchor. The landfill is separated into two
phase and phase one is rapidly being filled up with ashes from waste
incinerators in Singapore
Currently,
through application, the public is allowed to visit the island for educational
purpose, tracking along the tide lines and for star gazing.
I have attended
an educational trip that show us the video on the life cycle of waste and the
construction of Pulau Semakau at their visitor center, follow by a visit to the
waste receiving center (Since it is all ash, there is very little or no smell
at all) and a tour around the different part of the island using a mini-bus.
As the Pulau
Semakau is not easily accessible, I will classify it under random places I havebeen.
