Becoz they want Sg to look good?
gambling dens, opps i meant casinos, ohh.. sorry IRs

, public transport fee rise, COE, ERP gantries, etc etc, why they still continue the projects? did they even want to discuss these issues with its people? discuss as in even the SLIGHTEST POSSIBILTY that the plans CAN be changed?
ok look at it this way.
the gahmen spent so many workhours drafting out a plan, including scripts, media reports, project timeline, location, $$ involved, etc etc all these like showbiz u think for fun? wasted so many resources and time to come up with a show and now u telling them to scrap the whole idea? No way!
Also a change in plans would only show that they are "incapable" or "WRONG" (a big no-no word

) in deciding what issues to look at. Much less the chance of competely throwing the whole project away.
Now u understand why the show must go on?
