And this income has never offsetted or lowered the SMRT fares since time imemorial. Instead it ended up as the part of the profitability of SMRT.<br /><br />See how public money is used to shore up the profit of such companies. Just wonder who are the real beneficiaries of such privatisation. And if we indeed have professional journalists who have enough integrity, maybe we can also dig out a mystery as big as the News of the World scandal, who knows ?Alan Wongnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8772491888812684500.post-31963226878248753452011-07-13T11:28:20.677+08:002011-07-13T11:28:20.677+08:00I think they not only thought that singaporeans ar...I think they not only thought that singaporeans are DAFT, but also has short term memory....... <br /><br />http://theonlinecitizen.com/2008/12/transport-fares-not-linked-to-oil-prices-really/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8772491888812684500.post-47049004662847415612011-07-12T19:25:27.887+08:002011-07-12T19:25:27.887+08:00I say, nationalized the SBS & SMRT !

Just a month before election his team claimed that our SBS/SMRT are all running on tracks, yada yada. But the truth is otherwise, and have since been tested by MP Lim & Tuck Yew.

Not forgetting the newly opened circle lines. So, SMRT /SBS must be making profit<br /><br />2) FY2010 profit is $168mil. Really, which transportation company in the world has an IPO, is a listed entity with the aim to make profits from its citizens? Yes, only UNIQUELY in Singapore. <br /><br />3) The CEO was paid $1.8m last year for her salary. This is running a public service, not brain surgery or rocket science. Why does she deserve so much ? Becoz SMRT GLC forms part of Temasek "portfolio" to maximise earnings/profits so that the CEO & PAP Cabinet Leaders are awarded for their "bonuses" as part of their "stock options" plans. <br /><br />4) SG's ranking in 2011 #18 on the journey experience. Look at the crammed-sardine in MRT and buses. Despite these crappy experience on the ground, they have the audacity to ask you to pay for more?? What kind of justification is this?!!!! <br /><br />Ms Saw has the easiest con job in the entire civil service(GLC) in the whole wide world I can tell you that!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
