“I’d be very slow in stipulating (to operators)
how best to run the concession policy.”

We have been too slow in booting you out!
Lemon Lim has been slow in everything. Been thrown about since the “If it’s in the Yellow Pages, govt won’t do” suggestion he made when still a newbie minister got poo-pooed on by the old-bird ministers and perm secs. Now in a worse situation at Transport as he has a newbie CEO in LTA.
Should replace this guy with a Harvard educated scholar
Very slow ?
This clown is not productive ! Where is the minister’s version of “better, faster and cheaper” ? Or is just to lesser mortals only ?
This clown reaffirm the fact that been the one of the top 30’s most expensive minister in the world doesn’t make him any productive , only make him lazy, useless and daft !
You mean this chap finally realised its too slow??? or someone just kicked his ass to do something about it before they lose more votes this coming election.
Disabled and the elderlys are minority lot, so no need to fight so fast and hard for them. Their votes or they don’t even have the ability to vote are not going to affect MIW very much that calls for his slow stance.
look at our roads, it’s in a mess
To speed him up, maybe his car should be taken away. Why should we accept a Transport Minister who himself doesn’t take public transport, both practically and seriously as an issue?
What I cannot grasp is the fact that so many kuching-kurap MPs had repeatedly asked the minister to look into extending concessions to the disabled and elderly but have all been met with Hansenmobia … “I am rich, young and educated, you’re old, useless and uneducated trash”.
His reply sounded as if he was pushed to the corner with no way out except to concede to the kuching-kuraps. And to show his displeasure, he deliberately stated that he’d take very slow steps – which is equivalent to ‘no-steps’ in PAP terminology.
The games these MIW are playing with Singaporeans these days .. sigh!
I wonder why S’poreans still have faith in the system self checking itself.
If not for the nearing of election, this f**ker would not have made cosmetic changes to the system.
slow? that’s an understatement.
This is very common for pap, when it comes to giving “concessions” to the people, but they can’t act fast enough if it is giving money to themselves..
public transport price increase is almost always near instant de ler…
When Lemon Lim takes a bus and train to work, and home after a hard day’s work, everyday for one month. Then he can talk.
When he makes his Perm Secs and all the million dollar salaried directors of MRTC and Delgro take bus and MRT for a few month, then ask if
instead of the performance bonuses they regularly award themselves thoroughout the year,
the commuters should not be taking a vote on the size of the “failed-performance deduction” of their salaries instead.
I am currently seeing so many people excited about “Getting into bed with Jack Neo”.
Back to the transport issue. So what if they do give the concessions? They will jack up the cost of something else later on. Thank goodness they can’t put a price tag on the air we inhale or we’ll all turn into the colour of smurfs and expire.
How come sometimes my comments can’t get posted?
I am currently seeing lotsa TOC readers excited about “Getting into bed with Jack Neo” :O)
Back to the transport issue. So what if they give concessions? They’ll jack up the price of something else later on. U can’t fight city hall
We knew that for a long time.
why is our MM Lee so silent on his son’s complacent ministers of late? no wonder resort to comparing themselves to countries that are much less developed to make themselves feel good.
tell me the downward spiral has not yet began…
No surprise at all. Merely reiterating what many of us have all along understood to be so.
Lim has been slow in realizing (and owning up to) his slowness.
