SINGAPORE - Tampines residents may enjoy a cooler living environment in the near future under a pilot project that will see some 130 Housing Board blocks painted with cool paint - a new type of paint that reflects the sun's heat. The aim is to reduce ambient temperature by up to 2 deg C. The collected data will be analysed to determine if using cool paint on building facades and pavements could be rolled out across Singapore, said the Housing Board on Saturday (Aug 7). The large-scale pilot project comes under a 10-year plan, the HDB Green Towns Programme, to make existing HDB towns more environmentally sustainable and liveable through cooling them, reducing energy consumption and recycling rainwater.

SINGAPORE (BLOOMBERG) - Almost a decade ago, the son of Singapore paint tycoon Goh Cheng Liang set his sights on gaining control of Japan's biggest paint maker. He finally succeeded, and that's been a boon for the family's wealth. Their Wuthelam Holdings took a majority stake in Nippon Paint Holdings in a US$12 billion (S$16 billion) deal that was completed last month, according to filings this week. That's boosted their fortune to US$24 billion from about US$16 billion before the alliance was announced, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. For years, Wuthelam and Nippon Paint operated a business with joint ventures in countries including China, India and Malaysia. In August, Nippon Paint struck an agreement that allowed them to buy out the joint venture and take over Wuthelam's wholly owned Indonesia business. In turn, the Gohs' increased their stake in Nippon Paint to about 58 per cent. "The growth will continue," said Bloomberg Intelligence analyst Horace Chan, who estimates the alliance could lift Nippon Paint's net income by about 64 per cent this year. "It will help the company in terms of simplifying the corporate structure, which will allow more efficient allocati...
