Construction ● NEA to explore further ways to manage noise, including use of quieter equipment

The Straits Times

|

December 30, 2024

We thank Mr Loong Chik Tong for his letter "Minimise construction noise for better HDB living" (Dec 20).

- Tan Li Yen

The National Environment Agency (NEA) recognises that excessive noise can impact the quality of life of residents in the neighbourhood of construction sites.

For this reason, construction sites near homes, hospitals, schools, and other noise-sensitive areas are subjected to more stringent regulatory noise limits.

To monitor compliance, NEA requires contractors to install real-time noise meters and continuously record noise levels at the nearest affected premises.

Trump in the spotlight, Asean in the shadows

Mr Trump and Asean operate differently. Ms Susannah Patton, deputy research director at Australian think-tank Lowy Institute, said in a commentary that he is “a leader who emphasises his own unique deal-making genius to reshape international affairs”, while Asean “prioritises consensus and incremental cooperation”. One thrives on command, the other on compromise.
