    TOO often, we are pressured to find the next investment that can turn out to be the next ten-bagger but having a simple investment process can actually do more wonders in the long term.

    A few weeks ago, a trip to Sentosa led me to see something interesting. A lady speaking in Korean to her child, based on what I can understand from my limited exposure to K-dramas and K-pop songs, was picking up debris scattered at Tanjong Beach. They were doing their part to help clean up the plastic bottles and other debris, and it may well be a scene you may also have witnessed.

    The issue of environmental protection has gained more prominence in recent times locally. In his recent National Day Rally speech, Prime Minister Lee spoke about the urgency for Singapore to tackle climate change and concrete vulnerabilities such as rising sea levels as it is a multi-generational issue (which could come with a price tag of S$100 billion or more in the long term) which has long-term implication on our welfare, as well as our future generations.
