Read this article "PM says sorry over mistakes, pledges to do better" on straits times online today. In a nutshell, he is basically apologizing for escape of detained terrorist Mas Selamat Kastari and the massive Orchard Road floods and also acknowledged that the Government could have moved faster to address shortfalls in housing and public transport.
1) Escape of detained terrorist Mas Selamat Self explanatiory, if you take moral education, I think that the govt does have a major slip up in this area and they have taken the due responsibility for it. so next!
2) Orchard Road floods Like Daniel ong and his wife Jamie Teo said, even though there is a chance that the the drainage system is clogged, nature plays a bigger part. Ya la, people will say, should have send more people to clear the drainage what?! How often you want them to clear sia? It's like washing your hair, there is only so many times you wash a day right?? For a drainage system you cannot expect people to clear on a daily basis. God knows how big or complex the drainage is and it is so not efficient. You think its like the cleaning aunty that clears your dustbin everyday so easy meh?
3) Shortfalls in housing Short fall has driven the prices of housing up, this is further worsened by the increase in demand, i.e. lose-lose situation. Though economic forces should be left alone and in place to progress the economy, I do not deny and somehow agree that the govt should have implemented some other measures like e.g. limit the COV to a range of 5-10% of the valuation of the flat or some other measure to help. On the other hand, like my previous entry, we should also look at our own circumstances as well. Should we blame the govt entirely or should we also blame ourselves for our inability to afford a roof over our heads?
4) Shortfalls in public transport Other than losing out the BTO thrice, I am also a victim to short fall in public transport. Gotta squeeze like a mad woman and then when the alarm that the doors are closing rings, I also have to fear that the door will not chop of my boobs or my nose. There should be increasing public transport frequencies during office hours.
Old spice commented on the article, "However, like any other good service providers such as MRT and SBS ... are you considering giving a a REFUND for the sub-standard, poor services, unfulfilled promises of yesteryear? "
Hello bird brain, you never take econs ah? if there is more demand, we would need to increase the supply right? If need more supply, you dun need money to pay for the salaries of trains/bus drivers ah? You think everything is like ccl and nel, no need human to function one ah? Just treat it as you pay for better transport in the future la. Cant be same price forever one wad. Also how to give refund, you want them to go and do a mathematical calculation for each an every person who uses public transport and then refund them accordingly ah? That's damn alot of million people. So how to give refund? Also the standard very poor meh?? U wanna go bangladesh and take the rickshaw and get hit on your head on the roof of the rickshaw every minute, then reach your destination donkey years later? And did i say no air con? If you want a refund, go get it from obese people who take up space in the trains or buses and make you cannot get in. tsk.
5) over spent on YOG by $200 million I seriously think what went wrong here was the initial budgetting. They should have taken a more prudent approach and obtained more accrurate estimates for it. If you look at the normal spending for an Olympics event. I think its a pretty decent amount!
It is somewhat heartwrenching that the PM has to apologize to Singaporeans about the slips up. It takes 2 hands to clap but ignorant Singaporeans are only looking to blame the factor which is tangible, e.g. weather vs govt. of cos blame govt, if not blame ti gong / dua peh gong / guan ying ma meh?! sibey funny lor.
Another article "George Yeo wants WP to show plans for Aljunied GRC". Some moron wrote, "Let's be fair ! If the PAP can hang carrots like building more amenities , lift upgrading etc , then the opposition has the liberty to call on voters to first elect them and then they would reveal their plans for the GRC . Why should they reveal their plans during the rally or walkabout , only for the PAP to shoot them down or bombard them ?"
Another bird brainI Everyone is SUPPOSED to reveal the plans for the GRC leh, how can people make informed decisions on who to vote if they don't say what are they gg to do for the GRC? that's bullshit la. It's like telling you I hire you but I dun tell you what job you are going to do.. then end up doing drug trafficking!?!? Freaking nonsense!! BTW if the plan is a lame one, even dog will also shoot down, dun say PAP.
Another one under "Why so reluctant to discuss local issues, asks George Yeo". THE Workers' Party's seeming reluctance to engage on local issues is making the People's Action Party's (PAP) team leader in the hotly contested Aljunied GRC George Yeo 'very uncomfortable'. Local issues like solving the residents' daily problems and improving facilities for them are 'very important things' which he said his Workers' Party opponents, led by Mr Low Thia Khiang, have been steering clear of, focusing instead on national issues, like calling for a 'First World Parliament'.
Two things: - I personally agree with GY. I am an individual and I'm not afraid to say that I care for myself FIRST. If the GRC takes cares of my needs first (which impacts me more directly than indirect national issues) then that's good isnt it? Not that national policies are not important but seriously majority of humanity is not so wei da, don't go and act all Mother Theresa... - Like i tell bestie, I dun want a first world parliament that is so freaking bengish and speaks singlish and hokkien. (anyway, WP go and contest bukit timah for what? all the rich people are cultured and speaks proper english one, no one will appreciate your hokkien) Not saying that LTK is not good but seriously go and contest somewhere else where PAP is lacking a good GRC leader leh. spoil market.
And then there was "Plans to go ahead even if PAP loses: George Yeo". Mr Low had said that voting for the opposition did not mean having to make a choice between issues such as estate upgrading and a desire for greater checks on the ruling party's power in Parliament.
Seriously cant believe this statement by LTK. I went back to Hougang Ave 2 where I used to stay last weekend for dinner. The place looks exactly the same 10 years ago before I moved out. The play ground was the same, the bus stop was the same, even the building color was still the same. "did not mean having to make a choice between issues such as estate upgrading" is so not true. If you vote you are talking about upgrading. And anyway he can bring up such a statement also because look at how well Aljunied GRC has been upgraded? Of cos no need to upgrade any more if WP take over la.. sibei clever.
Anyway I'm having much agitation over the hot seat in Aljunied because 1) I'm going to be in Aljunied GRC at the end of the year but now I have no say who I want to take care of my needs in that estate. FML big time. Worse still, people who are gg to move out of Aljunied are going to bombard my life there. nb. 2) As much as prior to the last election, GY hasn't been doing much for the GRC. Look at how much has changed since their marginal win. It proves that things can be done and done well under him.
p/s: unless we are on the same page, dont bother commenting.
