This Is Singapore!!!

Fellow forumers this is nothing new
Since the start of the MRT project, the LTA has engaged FT (especially from England) to design, implement, supervise, test and commission it. So this is nothing new.
I wonÂ’t discredit the FT as they had actually brought their experience over here; Experience of designing and managing infrastructure of such scale.
But evaluation of SG public transportation system ??? by aussie ???
There are more cars in aus then dogs and cats combined. Most of the aussie owned a car (legal driving age 16 (L plates)) and with prices as low as $80 you can tow an old car away from an auto auction site in Brisbane. Get it certified and you can drive it on the road. Try doing that in Singapore.
And most of this consultants that are doing up the report drives to work every single day in SG. What sort of report will they produce???
Why not the LTA listen to locals who take the public everyday, WHAT IS THEIR OPINION on the system. And why the hell do we need to spend the citizensÂ’ hard earn money to engage FT to do a job the locals can do ??
Maybe not the public, but what about the polytechnics and universities. Make it part of a research grant and ask the local to research for an answer. These are researches that will help to create better system, just like what DSTA, DSTO, etc are doing for the armyÂ…
SG elites should sometime look for local talents before sourcing externallyÂ…. -
Fully agreed with you. How about organise a competition and invite all the polys and universities to submit their findings and recommedations and select the best proposal.Originally posted by justcooler:Fellow forumers this is nothing new

Singapore is the EASIEST one to navigate for a first timer.
Asking the tourists, HK in their view is 100% better than Sinkapore!!!!
Sorry if u had not taken the MTR in Hk ,pls dont pass comments!!!! -
The way sinkapore is running....The elites of high ranking civil servants were actually getting info, experiences and IDEALS from ground staff. subsequently, they turned it into it was their ideals and claimed all the credits.
This was what had happened in HDB....they had brain storming sessions called QCC, gather all the ground staff experiences, feedback, proposals and improvement of ideals and executions.
Now you see....who claimed most of the credits for themselves? -
Eh.. but you can't just buy the Singapore potato and eat .. must go to the origin of the potato to eat... then the effects will come.Originally posted by NewAge:i did not know eating kan dang have such a great effect

In USA, with a rich background, President Hoover donated all his paychecks to charity.
In PAP Singapore under Lee Kuan Yew, Lee Kuan Yew increased PAP Ministerial salary to become the World's Highest, and squeeze every penny out from the peasants to fund the Ministers' salary.
In PAP Singapore under Lee Kuan Yew, Ministers Lim Hng Kiang, Khaw Boon Wan, Mrs. Peanut Goh Chok Tong (wife of Snr Minister Goh), Mdm Ho Ching (wife of PM Lee Hsien Loong) all SUPPORTED NKF CEO T T Durai to squeeze every penny out of the peasants to relieve the PAP Govt of the worry of funding kidney dialysis operations for the peasants and of course, the GOLDEN WATER TAP.
In USA, Presidents donate.
In PAP S'pore, the Govt and Ministers sucks ! (money from peasants)
