DAY 25 - WHAT AND WHY SINGAPORE DO NOT HAVE STEEL MAKING OR FIBRE OPTIC CABLE MAKING INDUSTRY?

Day 25 in Wuhan

The fible optic cabel wire making company

The Changfei fibre optic cable making company, here is our "quan jia fu" with every LSCT and MDE students!

THe leader of this fibre optic making tuor is explaining the making process of fibre optic cable, with a poster/display board that visualising the making process in diagram and words


~heeheh~! this is me and satay!!!! Er... His name is actually Satish, but that is super hard to memberise it so i'll just call you satay ok??? I met a lot of new frens there from the Aroespace course!

This is the raw material, silicon, the perform of fibre optic, and one this 15 cm long silicon tube can make up 200 meters long of fibre optic cable wire


Ta,xinhui,me,and wei guang! we cant stand anymore and quickly take a group photo eventough there are lots of people behind/blocking of us; and they are actually taking group photos like us too!

And so this is the final product of fibre optic wire and it is labelled and coloured with different colour.

Optical fiber (or fibre) is a glass or plastic fiber that carries light along its length. Light is kept in the core of the optical fiber by total internal reflection. This causes the fiber to act as a waveguide. Optical fibre is very applicable in fiber-optic communications, which permits transmission over longer distances and at higher bandwidths, the data rates in faster speed. (Data reference to web ) The process of making fibre optic cable wire is started form purifying and making a huge silicon tube. It will then go thorugh the process to be melted to tiny, hair thick of 'fibre line',and then painted/coated with protect layers. The mechine will be used to add in cable layer to optical fibre, then roll with another machine and cut to the length as according to customer order.

Everyday i'll pass by Tuas industry area back to Johor Bahru my home in Malaysia, and watching those factory settup near by. There are Calsberg beer factory, fair price warehouse, Nikkon japan paint, coca-cola firm and many more plants/company at Tuas. Why Singapore do not have any heavy industry and super high technology industry? For this wuhan trip, I have been to the steel making industry and optic fibre wire making firm, i found that those 2 industries are not available in singapore and why?
'
'
Singapore government has actually implied some control over the factory/industry build. This is due to land authority planning and avoid over competition of overseas company to local production. Unlike China, Singapore has limited resources, manpower, land, and water. Singapore governemnt has to make sure that the land is first used to build housing and facilities other than industry area. For this exmaple, building up steel industry will cause heavy polution, used up wide area of land, and heavy labour cost. A single air polution can make up the whole Singapore suffer form bad air condition. On the other hand, building up an optic fibre plant needed advanced technology but SIngapore is still lack of talent and the industry knowledge on achieving that. Optic fibre making plant is fully-outomated, high security, and needed high fixed cost on facilitites.
'
'
However, I think that Singapore is still very potential on exploring on the market of making optic fibre. Singapore fits on making optic fibre as it require on techonology and less labour force and she just need the knowledge on making optic fibre and talents to build up this new industry, especially talent from overseas to assist it. Because of limited resources, we are not producing on steel, weapon, hydroelectric, water, and many other, we must think of what will happen if we run out of steel/weapon/water, people can survive without taking food or steel but not water. Thus, Singapore have to make sure they will have constant supply, assist, and good partnership from other country form getting the sources. We shall appreciate those countries that made reliable partnership to Singapore and supply us the resource that Singapore lack of, and the people of Singapore must learn how to protect their country and maintain the prosperous that ancestors has build up for Singapore.


The Third NE Messages
We must ourselves defend Singapore. No one else is responsible for our security and well-being. Singapore poeple loves their country and they must learn how to protect their country well. It is not just on the matter on army forces and defensive protect from weapon attacking, they must protect and defend their international trading and partnership with others countries well so that the there are constantly supply on the required resouces (like water, cemen, sand, steel and so on) to their poeple and the daily life of Singapore wont be affected. THis is very very important and the future generations must learn to be responsible, and capable to defend Singapore.


Invited by local students, Joey the sweet cute girl, and first day to homestay at Jin Men 荆门

Yeahh~~this is Joey on the left and ye ye on the right! We have a total of seven students went there and homestay for 3 days in jin men!

This is how crowded in train station. However the environment is actually quite clean and better than how i imagine.

Every passenger have to check and verified their train tickets before 10 minutes of train arrival. Joey tell us last time she got rejected to aboard on train because she reach train station late adn never check on the ticket before 10 minutes. However, our train to jin men was late and delay to 30 minutes and we waited a while for the train.
