CROSS ISLAND INVESTIGATION DRAFT 2

According to Neo (2018) the article states that “Nature Group Seeks More Information on Impact of Cross Island Site Investigation”, nature group wants to know about the environmental impact caused by the drilling works from the Land Transport Authority(LTA) and welcomes the public to submit any queries about the impact to the LTA. The drilling 16 boreholes were done to find a suitable condition for the line to be structured tunnel under nature reserve or skirting around it. Environmental impact assessment is done after the drilling work and it shows moderate impact if alleviation measures were taken. When being questioned whether the statement is true, LTA remains quiet. LTA also fail to provide frequency of animal sightings before and after the work done. As LTA fails to provide sufficient information, it worries the nature group thus questions are being compiled and hope LTA will provide assurance and address their concern.

I fully agree with why nature lovers are compiling questions to the LTA, due to the lack of information provided by the authority. LTA did not provide sufficient details regarding about the cons or impact it caused to the environment. Hence many are questioning whether LTA will be transparent to the public.

Formal letter assignment

Subject: Introduction of myself Dear Prof Brad, I am writing to you today to let you know more about me My name is Cheng Feng and I graduated in 2017 with a diploma in engineering with business in Nanyang Polytechnic. The reason for choosing this course was because I'm unsure what I was interested in. Basically the course structure is 65% engineering and 35% business which allows me to have some fundamental knowledge and understanding about the both sectors. Throughout the whole 3 years in Poly, I realised my main interest was in engineering because I enjoy problem solving and understanding the needs and the purposes of engineer in the real world. Thus I would like to further my studies in SIT to further enhance my engineering skills which is needed in the real world. My strength in communication is that I’m confident in what I want to say and how I want to present it to the audience with logical thinking and answer. For example back in polytechnic days, my team ...

"Employers identify communication as one of the basic competencies every graduate should have, asserting that the ability to communicate is valuable for obtaining employment and maintaining successful job performance" By: Sherwyn Morreale, Michael Osborn & Judy Pearson, Professors of Communication (2000)

CROSS ISLAND INVESTIGATION DRAFT 1

According to Neo (2018) the article states that “Nature Group Seeks More Information on Impact of Cross Island Site Investigation”, nature lovers are keen to know about the effects of drilling works in Machritchie forests and welcomes the public to enquire to Land Transport Authority (LTA) if they have any. Question includes monitoring of animals for up to 6 months before and after the drilling of boreholes, would be made transparent to the public and projected outcome of moderate impact from the assessment is accurate if alleviation measures was taken. One volunteer claims that details of mitigation measures were not enough and some are worried about how the monitoring are being handled. Volunteers are hoping that LTA can promise them that dealing with environmental impact must be thorough and careful to minimise the impact caused.
