cables get hot because they have too much current running through them. heating wires are made to run hot. cables are not. get larger wire
Most electric cables are underground, to conserve space for other purposes, due to shortage of land in Singapore.

Electric cables carry electrical current, which can cause electric shock if touched. They can also overheat if overloaded, leading to fires. Improperly installed or damaged cables can pose a risk of short circuits, which may result in electrical malfunctions or even electrocution.
There is a chance you can get electrocuted.
all cables should be capped
its too costly and less available to manufacture miles long cables.
Optical fiber's main advantage over regular electric cables is that they don't experience electromagnetic interference of any kind, thus allowing signals to be sent where regular cables would get cut off. Another important advantage is that distance affects electric cables' data bandwidth much more severely than it does optic fiber.
