This means for sure during rainy season we will see floods in a lot of more places. Day by day, PAP is showing some signs of 'tiredness', maybe reflecting the state of condition of Senior Lee.<br /><br />Yesterday while tuning to late night news, I thought something was wrong with my ears when I heard something about asking people not to take the SMRT during peak hours? Is this what the SMRT for ? To cope with heavy traffic during rush hours? The state of the public transport is not able to cope with the population,perhaps they should let go to allow private operators to enter into the public transport sector. Few years back, recalled from Yeow Chow Tong that when the SMRT line that is going to stretched to the greater part of Singapore is completed, some public bus routes will be cut to force people to take the SMRT because they feel that if people or not enough people take the SMRT, this will be a waste of taxpayers' money. But look at the current state of SMRT which is getting quite unreliable with unexpected delays from time to time, if they proceed with cutting down some bus routes, will be big trouble to a lot of us who rely on public transport.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.allaboutlovensex.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Do They Really Know What They're Doing?</a>Ng Eng Houhttp://allaboutlovensex.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8772491888812684500.post-59263094653899332692012-01-11T17:29:06.220+08:002012-01-11T17:29:06.220+08:00In all fairness, Vivien is at least trying to tack...In all fairness, Vivien is at least trying to tackle the flood problem more than his Predecessor Yaacob Ibrahim.<br /><br />If he wishes, Vivien can always quote the old 'expert' that no amount of engineering can prevent flooding and be absolved from any blame.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8772491888812684500.post-48961047002647568112012-01-11T16:57:47.733+08:002012-01-11T16:57:47.733+08:00when there is a will, there is a way.

It seems there are really either lack of experts and talents in Singapore or government listening only to the western experts. Such study is no rocket science. <br /><br />PAP government ought to know how many talented Singaporeans are unemployed or emigrated overseas. The nation building does not depend on foreign experts. History tells you that the country cannot survive if the local expertise is not built up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8772491888812684500.post-44968995669384204122012-01-11T10:58:14.373+08:002012-01-11T10:58:14.373+08:00SALARY - TIME TO ASK THE MINISTERS
