[Straits Times] Enhance public lighting

AS SINGAPORE aspires to become a "smart" nation, one of the projects that would benefit most people immediately is the enhancement of our public lighting system ("Keep HDB corridor lights on until 7.30am" by Mr Markus Christopher Ruddock; Sunday).

Street lights and those for public areas like HDB corridors, walkways and parks should be programmed to switch on or off automatically, based on the prevailing level of natural illumination and not solely on the time of the day.
