# Merdeka Bridge, Singapore

The Merdeka Bridge (Chinese: 独立桥, Malay: Jambatan Merdeka) is a vehicular and pedestrian bridge located in Kallang in the south-eastern part of Singapore. It spans the river mouths of the Kallang River and Rochor River, which empty into the Kallang Basin. Designed by R. J. Hollis-Bee of the then Public Works Department (now CPG Corporation), the bridge was officially opened on 17 August 1956.
The Merdeka Bridge carries Nicoll Highway, a semi-expressway connecting Kallang with the Singapore downtown.

## Etymology

The bridge was named Merdeka Bridge by Minister for Communications and Works Francis Thomas as Merdeka means "independence" in Malay and to represent the confidence and aspiration of the people of Singapore. It also represents Singapore's freedom and independence after partial self-government was given by the British in 1955.

## History

Merdeka Bridge provides a main link between the east coast and the city via the Nicoll Highway.

## Merdeka Lions

The bridge's only attributes were the two stone lions guarding its two ends, known as the Merdeka Lions. Each lion had its back positioned, facing a tall blue mosaic monument adorned with the crest of the City of Singapore at the top. These sculptures were designed initially by the Public Works Department's L W Carpenter and contracted to Hong Kong based Italian sculptor and stone supplier Raoul Bigazzi. Mr Bigazzi had them made by a student of his in Manila in the Philippines. The identical pair were shipped here, towards the end of the bridge's construction. In 1966, the lions were removed to allow the widening of Nicoll Highway as well as the bridge. As a result, the two sculptures were then relocated to Stadium Walk. The statues were left abandoned at their location for the next three decades. After numerous suggestions from the public to move the twin sculptures to an appropriate site, the Public Works Department took the statues into storage. The PWD later transferred these statues to the Ministry of Defence in 1986. With the intention to install them in the then future SAFTI Military Institute located in Jurong West. In 1995, the two lions were moved by the ministry to the bottom of the SAFTI Tower at the institute, where they have remained since. A pair of exact replicas were made in 2019 and installed at Stadium Roar at Singapore's National Stadium.
# Sodium tert-butoxide

Sodium tert-butoxide (or sodium t-butoxide) is a chemical compound with the formula (CH$_3$)$_3$CONa (abbr. NaOtBu). It is a strong, non-nucleophilic base. It is flammable and moisture sensitive. It is sometimes written in the chemical literature as sodium t-butoxide. It is similar in reactivity to the more common potassium tert-butoxide.
The compound can be produced by treating tert-butyl alcohol with sodium hydride.

## Reactions

One application for sodium tert-butoxide is as a non-nucleophilic base. It has been widely used in the Buchwald–Hartwig amination, as in this typical example:
Sodium tert-butoxide is used to prepare tert-butoxide complexes. For example hexa(tert-butoxy)ditungsten(III) is thus obtained by the salt metathesis reaction from a ditungsten heptachloride:
    NaW$_2$Cl$_7$(THF)$_5$ + 6 NaOBu-t → W$_2$(OBu-t)$_6$ + 7 NaCl + 5 THF

## Structure

Sodium tert-butoxide forms clusters in the solid state, both hexamers and nonamers.

* Lithium tert-butoxide
* Sodium tert-amyloxide (NaOC(CH$_3$)$_2$C$_2$H$_5$), a highly soluble analogue of sodium tert-butoxide

# Ismaël Habib

Ismaël Habib (born 1988) is the first Canadian adult to be found guilty following a trial of a new Canadian law that prohibits people from trying to leave Canada to participate in the activities of a terrorist group. The Canadian law, section 83.181, was created by the conservative government of Stephen Harper in 2013. Habib had gone to Syria in 2013 and allegedly had contacts with jihadist groups fighting the Syrian government of Bashar al-Assad. Upon his return to Quebec, he made several attempts to acquire a false passport. He claims this was to find his wife and two children found in ISIL-controlled territory in Syria. However, the Canadian authorities claimed it was an effort on his part to join ISIL. In a long-running sting operation starting in 2015, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) implicated him in plans to join ISIL. Habib was first detained in February 2016 in Gatineau, Quebec, when he was charged with threatening his girlfriend in a domestic violence case. This led the authorities to charge him with the terror-related counts in Montreal. In June 2017, he was found guilty of attempting "to leave Canada to commit a terrorist act". On 29 September 2017, he was sentenced to nine years in prison including eight years for attempting to leave Canada and one year for providing false information to obtain a passport. The sentences are to be served consecutively minus the time he's already served in custody.
