They still have the intention to increase service and conveyance charges despite with so much town council funds on hand.

Eh Busman, u forgot THEE most important one:
*Every citizen counts*

My tagline: Money speaks louder than anything on earth …….and yes even hell!

Cheers

Would anyone be able to ascertain this, Forgive me I might be ancient in thought.

If its private, they should share their business objectives and business priorites, or then again its PRIVATE.

As in most business, we want to maximise profit and minimise costs. it would be good to know the yearly financial targets versus actual performance.

SAFETY ASPECT

Also with regards to safety, how do we ensure a certain cabin is not overpacked ?
Like in the clubs, they only are allowed to accept a certain number of people in, to prevent overcrowding, as this is a safety concern.

Is that such a measure in place ? or they are going to form a commitee later on when something happens to study, how they can improve and move on.

Just to share, we all have a choice right now. The internet has brought us all together and the awareness is starting to enlighten Singaporeans on how their country is being managed, with issues like the aging population, retirement, Medical costs and minimum wages still ongoing with no balance or end in sight,

I can say we can do 2 things.

1)Exercise your vote wisely, nothing will change if we don’t make the difference
2) Share the TOC website with your friends and family.

Am not a balls carrier, but TOC will be a good starting point for alternative news to enable Singaporeans to make informed decisions.

The PAP’s solution to almost everything is to PAY and PAY, and the infamous quote for it’s citizens are

1) GST to help the poor
2) People are homeless by Choice
3) We made cards affordable, so now to regulate traffic we need more ERP
4)No one is left behind
5) Dont think of retirement
6) Your wifes and sisters will be maids in other countries
7)Pay more to prevent corruption

Attacking the character and qualification of the person behind the post and not the logic behind the post is a sign of immaturity. We should all refrain from this, regardless of one’s age and achievement. In multi-stakeholder case such as public transport, consensus building is more relevant than seeking approval from elders.

Singaporeans need not have a flash back of the past to appreciate the present.
What Singaporeans need is a working system that takes care of Singaporeans.
This in return will solve many mysteries (CPF, GST, Minimum Wage,NS,PUBLIC housing, PUBLIC transport, and the list goes on) that the current PAP can’t seem to resolve and are coming up with really lame reasons.

A matured alternative, first and foremost they have to admit that they have run out of ideas, and not pass the buck to the people.

In the grand scheme of things it has to do with 2 things.

1) Policy formulation
2) Singaporeans

The cost of things don’t just increase by itself, and this has nothing to do with inflation ,period

The correct question, in my opinion, is not “Must we teach Airbus aerodynamics or avionics?” but “What circumstances require us to teach Airbus aerodynamics or avionics?”. I am not familiar with the aerospace industry but there are many examples of complacent incumbents who failed to reinvent themselves in the automobile industry and subsequently became obsolete. As a result, their employees went out of work and had no retrenchment benefit to tide them over. A recent case would be Chrysler in the USA. Out-dated designs and poor manufacturing practise had led to poor sales and high cost. Chrysler workers are still contemplating whether they will have a job tomorrow, whether someone from the White House will save the Chrysler pension deficit. Isn’t Chrysler an obvious case of “we must teach Airbus aerodynamics or avionics”? Is Singapore not in a similar situation too?

The word affordable seems to be a key word for the PAP govt.

What we need is to vote them out and get a real govt that will work for its people andl pass savings to its people and not the other way around.

We are all paying their sky high salary and if they dont meet our expectations, please get another better player. It has nothing to do with other countries having good or bad transport systems. What we want to see is a transport system that can get us everywhere ontime with decent conditions.

How to do it ? Well I leave it to the million dollar brains….but please don’t tell me the only way is to pay more money…. thats an excuse as it does not solve the woes of transportation.

just a tip, maybe the elites should all be taking their very own medicine and have a feel of the WORLD class transport system. Please join us in the morning squeeze and please take the bus to work.

Another tip, please consider TOC’s feedback as this is as real as it can get.
MSM is old school with lots of costmetic and plastic sugery to look youthful and hip.

You are leaders, please lead by example.

Referring to your#37, we are not rude lah. In Singapore, you do not stand a chance to be really rude and too way off the line. At least, we are very controlled already lah – only engaging in words only. We do use stick to drive our point across.

“Tired of all these rubbish lah.”

I do not think that you are feeling tired lah. If you are really tired, why waste your time coming into site and ever bother to do the fire fighting work and getting yourself even more tired. Am I right ?

“I think when you’ve raised 2 kids and sponsored them to post-grad strudies (one local, one o’seas)”

Your own past achievements are commendable in your own rights but it should not be used as a benchmark to decide who is more ‘qualified’ to discuss issues which are affecting us. Our environment keeps on shifting, sometimes frightening so.

There are people facing real problems – e.g buying a house, giving birth, etc. It may not have been caused by you but you are defending them.

Just to pluck some examples, big big names (darlings of the past) in the financial world are slowly facing deeper and deeper problems. Past achievement is never guarantee of future performance.

Like you, I mean well. For your information, please do not mistake me for Donaldson who uses a fixed name, I think.

Donaldson: Ans your Pt A Pt B first. When roads in Singapore existed AND also disappeared, I suspect u were still in planning stage. Point A – Point B still same distance? I think when you’ve raised 2 kids and sponsored them to post-grad strudies (one local, one o’seas) and know what your 1st million dollar feels like, we can talk on level playing fireld. Till then, I rest my case and wish you all the best at UofC. I’m a “been there, done that guy” (sorry for the cliche).Tired of all these rubbish lah. Hey I’m also aware of the thing called Pseudo Logic. So please, please, please refer to #37 above. I really meant well. Cheers!

Well, the distance from point A to point B ten years ago is also same distance today. While the distance does not skrink, I notice that the prices have regularly lenghtened (oops should use the word increase). What say you, Michael. Please please, please do not use the Airbus analogy on me.

I did not know that a simple discussion on fishball noodles could aggravate to “Airbus aerodynamics or avionics”. People who are Airbus like you should have no problem comprehending a lot of things. Anyway, for prices of fishball noodles that you may find unhappy about, CASE is always around the around.

“What seems to be generally the vibe here is the general dislike for anything that is “connected” to govt or its “extensions”.

This is precisely the problem that they have to unravel. Let me give you some clue. If you are so dominant and all encompassing in almost areas of people’s life, you have unwittingly set yourself up as a very BIG BIG target which is not too difficult even for BoBo to miss. Hey, please do not use the Airbus analogy on me also lah.
