You sure you know what really happened in Tibet? You sure the riot caused by the protesters?

I think you failed to realise the fact that public transport companies are profit oriented organisations. Making a neat profit explains their existance. However as public transport is a service which all classes of citizens use. Therefore they are bonded by the need to address the needs of the poor.I have seen many hitting on the fare hike. But why is there no one coming forth to praise them about the money they donated to various government bodies to be distributed to the genuine poor to cushion the marginal increase of the fare?
We should look at things from both sides of the coin.
You mean like the "public transport voucher"? The increase is permanent whereas the "help" is temporary and come with lots of red tape.

this i agree. if people really want to solve this hike issue, go and file for petition. get 200,000 singaporeans and ask them to sign a petition; file it to the Prime Minister's office, send a copy to Straits Times or even overseas newspaper. make it a big "news" and see where it leads to.
i don't believe SBS will not "hear" your petition if you have 200,000 strong support. if 200,000 not enough, get 1,000,000. we have 4.5 million population here.
There was many petitions before. Like there's one against GST increase, and the GST still increase, didn't it?
You think the gov or SBS will care even if you managed to submit one with 1 million signatures?
You can go ahead and send a million copies to Straits Times, chances of them publishing your petition is lesser than striking TOTO.

This is getting no where... You guys can talk all you want... My job is just to make sure no riot will ever happen in Sg...

A lot of simple minded Singaporeans around, easy for the P4P to cajole around like little kids yearning for lollipops.
Riots?

Are you trying to imply that you are from the force and you rather not do your job of handling riots, if it happens, and instead will support despots oppressing the people?
Just quit if you are a coward, you are in the wrong job.

What public Transport voucher? You still don't know what you are talking about. Please write in to SBST corp comms and find out about their distribution of the aid funds to help the needy family.It is a waste to explain to you if you are absolutely stubborn and refuse to discuss.

The life of the HDB peasant isn't SUBSTANTIALLY SPEAKING, any different from the peasant in feudal china. As long as the powers-that-be keep the economy rolling, the country safe, the sun shall shine, hay shall be made and oxen shall grow fat. They do not care for disorder, nor will they rise up in revolt as long as this status quo is maintained. They will do as they told as long as there are goods to be sold. Freedom of speech, democracy, human rights, and all that jazz are for the bourgeoisie and the petit bourgeoisie, or the intelligentsia, or the chattering champagne socialists. The peasants don't care, nor do they want to care

Oh really? If that the attitude you have, then I see no point talking to you too.

It is said that there are members of the PAP whose jobs are to go online and tracked popular blogs and forums to "see if there is anything they can clarify" on controversial issues such as the impending hike in the goods and services tax (source from PAP internet offensive).
Nice job, good pay. Maybe MohamedF can recommend me also?

Ah~I don't have such a detective and presumptious mind that keep thinking there are terror around me.
So I dount I have that kind of aptitude to investigate only-God-knows-what-you-are doing kind of job.
Have fun worrying!
P/S:I hope your job covers occupational hazard that include high-blood pressure, depression and the other related diseases.
