Some they dun totally mix around...Originally posted by elindra:Seriously sbst. I have friends who are way way richer than they are and I also know people from the Wee family as in related to the very famous and rich Wee in Singapore but they DO NOT behave nor think like Wee Shu Min.
Maybe the rich folks I know all act like normal folks and yes they do take the public transport occasionally too believe it or not and they don't stick their noses in the air, nor do their kids have such snobbish and elitist mentality.
That mix around I mean as in lifestyle

The elevated MRT stn should be fitted with doors! I believe many ppl would go commit suicide in the same manner.... -
This has been brought up before...and SMRT refused. I think they didn't want to spend the money.Originally posted by sbst275:

that's for the public viewing... most have televisions to distract the waiting public..
ours is for INSIDE the office for us
if anything major happens, we know first... and we can record it on the DVD recorder connected to it...
which is why sometimes, we do scanning of things... like in here
information can be found in so many different places, in so many different ways, and if only people who are not stuck in their own delusion are willing to look, and think out of the box, they will find a goldmine of information from lots of places
but alas... they haven't the imagination to even have an idea that such places existOriginally posted by sbst275:I believe most govt offices also have TV tuned to CNA -
The recent caseOriginally posted by av98m:This has been brought up before...and SMRT refused. I think they didn't want to spend the money.
The guy commit sucide, ends up getting so much $$$... He would never earn $500K even in his lifetime...
In fact I heard abt cases that these ppl have been neglected... I heard that the Welfare Dept or whatever wun help if the party has a relative...
I mean in SG, when someone has no $$, the relative would just shun him... -

I wonder about that idiot whatshishername who wrote a nasty official reply/statement over the mr brown article some time back. The twit had no friking idea that most of Singapore know mr brown's real name, and that information is freely available!! Even photos of his face are all over his blog!! -
Replied back
Sent evidence of the bus schedule they provided at the electronic bus guide... They told me they did remind the depots abt the high demand expected for the 2 SBS svs serving Paya Lebar during the Open Hse...
Obviously either they've been lying or the depot concerned simply is bias against the 2 svs... You ask me, I believe it's both... -

What I find most commendable is this article I read in The NewPaper today about this disabled man who is earning like $500 or $700 a month.
When asked why didn't he apply for social welfare, his reply was why depend on others when he can still support himself to make a living. He also took ever chance he has to look for a job and if he canÂ’t, then he approached the government for help to look for a job.
He really puts those lazy youngsters who canÂ’t be bothered to look for a job to shame. Here is a guy with 1 hand who works hard to support himself. He knows that he can never get a high paying job but he doesnÂ’t bitch about it but is happy that he can support himself. -
copied from mr brown's blog :
Not our bus never stop for you, you never flag the bus early
Saw this in the news, "SBS Transit launches 'Flag the Bus Early' campaign"
SINGAPORE : The SBS Transit has placed signs at 100 selected bus stops across Singapore, encouraging passengers to flag the bus early.
This will help bus captains stop at a timely manner and to ensure a smoother and safer ride for those onboard.
The operator has launched the public education campaign after receiving complaints that bus captains drove off from bus stops without picking up passengers.
Its subsequent investigations found that many commuters missed the bus because they often flagged too late.
Commuters can also pick up brochures on safe bus stop practices at 16 bus interchanges. - CNA /ls
So people, it is YOUR fault, ok?
Some forummers from Hardwarezone felt that instead of a "Flag the Bus Early" campaign, there should be campaigns for bus companies like:
"Slow Down the Damn Bus When Approaching Bus Stop" campaign
"Do Not Overtake a Fellow Bus When Approaching Bus Stop" campaign
"Buses Come More Regularly and at Shorter Intervals" campaign
"Buses should brake properly" campaign
"Cut down Bus Hikes" campaign
and of course, this gem:
"Stop Wasting Money on Useless Campaigns" campaign
Feel free to suggest some more campaigns. In Singapore, we can never have too many campaigns. -
At the same time they should start a “Increase the MRT frequency Campaign”
-
The flag down
It's a 2 way traffic..
If not, the driver would think that you wanna board the behind bus, even so, it's pretty dangerous for a bus to brake and turn into the bus bay at the last min esp if there's a car behind! -
Yeah, 9 mins during off peak nowOriginally posted by elindra:At the same time they should start a “Increase the MRT frequency Campaign”
Rather it's the buses getting more frequent now, I bet si gina is laughing now -
coming to work daily, i listen to the BBC.. they've been doing a series about China... i think.. or both days, they were talking about China..
yesterday, they were talking about the moral vacuum which now exists since no one believes in communism and communism destroyed the belief systems which were the traditions in Taoism, Confucianism, and all the other "religions"
which is why there is so much corruption now.. because no one has any values except money... to earn money at all costs no matter what happens..
today's programme, they talked to an official.. who kept insisting that Maxism and Communism is well and alive..
made me think.. what do our youth believe these days?
do they believe in anything? or like someone sang, they don't believe in anything but they'll tell you there are many things to believe in? will they be looking for that? or will they just give up and be apathetic?
it's a scary thought when you look at China.. where the most populous country in the world, doesn't believe in anything and probably will tell you that there is nothing to believe in? -
and a "Make Sure MRT Train's Aircon Can Handle A Full Load Campaign"Originally posted by elindra:At the same time they should start a “Increase the MRT frequency Campaign”

The PAP also believes in nothing but power, money and economics.

China? The only think the youth believe in now is the religion M. They pray and worship money, wealth and power
