Another intro........

Have you been to Singapore? Then you should have heard of Orchard Road. Orchard Road is one of the premier shopping streets in the world and it is know to some Singaporeans as the heart of Singapore. It is visited by huge flocks of tourists every year and there has been a lot of positive feedback. It has been a factor for all tourists that want to come to SIngapore for a vacation. If you were the Singapore government, would you give Orchard Road a new facelift? How much would you spend? In an effort to make Orchard Road a better place, the Singapore Tourism Board (STB) has announced its plan of a $40 million makeover for Orchard Road. However, I feel that the ridiculously huge amount of money pumped into this expensive project has not been put into good use because this project has a minimal impact on tourists and may even backfire. I will show that there are more important priorities for Singapore instead of a lavish Orchard Road facelift, and that the project will have a minute impact and what it achieves will eventually contradict its aims.
