(1) Singapore is bless - because as a little red dot - it is easier to protect the Country with sea barrier unlike bigger Countries.

(2) Singapore is bless - because on the north, we have a big land mass shielding us from rising sea level.

(3) Singapore is bless - because on the south - we have another big land mass shielding us from the rising sea level.

(4) Nevertheless, the sea gap between Singapore and the land mass with the south is quite wide - and if sea level rise - we still need to protect our coastline.

(5) Hence, we start by elevating the coastline in Changi Airport and next in Tuas Mega Port - are the right 1st step.

(6) In future when Pasir Panjang, PSA ports etc move to Tuas MegaPort - we will need to elevate our Southern coastline - and this will prevent the whole Singapore from flooding.

(7) The cost of sea wall - is not that costly if we plan properly.
