In the article “How can Southeast Asia’s clean energy transition be sped up” (Daubach, 2019) addresses the issues faced by countries in the Southeast Asia region, possible solutions and the dire consequences of not taking the issue seriously. Southeast Asia is the only region that has not achieved low carbon emissions level but instead is increasingly contributing to it globally. For example, Singapore can apply nuclear fusion or the implementation of hydrogen as a “greener “fuel. However, such technology comes with a cost. The demand for power will not decrease due to the economic success in the region, and as such the policymakers and businesses have to seize this opportunity to make a change through “building an energy infrastructure”, improving quality of life as economies advance. Failing to do so will have an adverse impact on both the climate, region and world. Based on the article, it shows that the region’s effort is lacking and substantial at most.   To ensure that the ...

Style 1: Traditional Linear Outline Summarized Article’s Main Idea + Thesis Statement  (Level I Controlling Idea):  Southeast Asia’s transition towards clean energy is slow although solutions are available, efforts made by the region is underwhelming and insufficient to make an impact in the contribution to a “greener” world. I. First Supporting Idea - (Level II Controlling Idea):  Southeast Asia enjoys an abundance supply of renewable energy resources yet the region still lacks behind in transitioning towards clean energy to help support its booming economies.                 II. Second Supporting Idea - (Level II Controlling Idea):  Southeast Asia is the only region that has not achieved low carbon emissions level but instead is increasingly contributing to it globally III. Third Supporting Idea - (Level II Controlling Idea):  The demand for power will not decr...

In the article “How can Southeast Asia’s clean energy transition be sped up”, Tim (2019) claims that though Southeast Asia enjoys an abundance supply of renewable energy resources yet the region still lacks behind in transitioning towards clean energy to help support its booming economies.

In the article “How can Southeast Asia’s clean energy transition be sped up”, Daubach (2019) claims that though Southeast Asia enjoys an abundance supply of Renewable energy resources, the region is still lacking behind in transitioning towards using clean energy to help support its booming economies. Implementation of a conventional solution would not be able to meet such demands; therefore, countries should first look towards decreasing emissions and implementation of solutions that will tackle specific challenges faced uniquely by them. For example, Singapore is able to substitute its dependence on fossil fuels through nuclear fusion or the implementation of hydrogen as a “greener “fuel for transportation. However, such technology though available comes with a huge price tag. Daubach (2019) urges countries to be aware of their energy consumption and look for better alternatives to better tackle the challenge of decreasing energy consumption . The Southeast Asia compared with other...

Subject: Self-introduction Dear Mdm Fazilah I am Tan Yih Chyuan from Effective Communication Tutorial Class 3 (SIE 2016). I graduated with a Diploma in Mechanical Engineering from Ngee Ann Polytechnic in 2017. What drove me to Engineering was the question “Why?”, I have always been fascinated by how man and machines compliment on another to achieve remarkable feats through the advancement of technology and ideas. I chose Sustainable Infrastructure Engineer (SIE)(Land) as it was a multidisciplinary programme encompassing several fundamental engineering disciplines. And the Railway Engineering specialised curriculum will expose me to the various railway companies providing me with extra industry insights and unique opportunities. One of my communication strengths would be confidence. It shows others that I believe in what I am saying and that I will follow through on it. Through National Service, I was able to work on my communication skills as it was vital in ensuring that...
