Bangkok should take green leaf from Singapore’s book

Bangkok should take green leaf from Singapore’s book

Re: “More parks and recycling: a wish list for Bangkok”, Letters, April 5.

I wholeheartedly agree with Chuk Dee. The Bangkok government should rule that new construction projects consider these points to gradually shift to a greener, more liveable environment. Singapore requires all new buildings within the inner city to strictly adhere to a list of eco-friendly policies. I worry, however, that people’s obsession with cars will continue to create traffic snarls. With the opening of the new MRT lines, inner-city tolls should be levied to direct road traffic efficiently, similar to the ERP gates in Singapore. I hope the Bangkok government will step up to the task.
