Government ministers and MPs have failed to look after people's interests?
They were unable to justify corporatizing essential government services and set up all kinds of panels to justify or help corporatized GLCs to constantly raise fees and double charge on land costs and infrastructure costs previously paid by taxpayers.
PTC and NWC should be disbanded so as not to continue to justify public transport and public sector cost increases or giving elites working therein 8 months' ironricebowl bonuses by way of allowing more competitions from private sector or non-critical government outsourcing (e.g. administrative, legal, computerisation, finance, police, judiciary, public relation, HR, keeping only defence and parliamentary function)
Mr. Bhavani has to reply to such criticism on unfair and monopolistic practices adopted by MM, SM and PM before lambasting Mr. Brown.
Forumers are awaiting their replies to substantial criticisms of wrong NKF-type policies from the past as posted in this and other forums.
If they cannot reply or feel too shy to be exposed, then they should hold on to more cost increases and reverse out all the double charges on lands and infrastructure costs and lower their CEO/MD/GM million-dollar salaries as in civil or public service such Chiefs are only required to collect and spend taxpayers' or consumers' monies and are not that high in calibre to be entitled to such pays which cause high costs of living.
When buses and train compete with each other, fares can be deregulated as the bus and rail op will try to get passengers but it's unlikely undercutting of fares will occur
Protect monopolies??? If you split up SBS, and back to days splitting of areas, can, lack of connectivity will come in... Also when big operators such as SBS bus buses in bulk, they are likely to get loyality + bulk discount unlike smaller operators to keep cost low
