SMRT lessons: Look at the positive side
It is not good to be negative. Look at the bright side of things. The recent and past breakdowns of the MRT should not be cause for alarm and depression. We need to look at things positively then we can put on a brave and cheerful front and go about life feeling good.
Just look at those countries that don’t have MRT, count yourself lucky to have MRT to move around.
Look at those countries that have people hanging on the trains from the outside, or sitting on the roof of the trains, aren’t you grateful?
Look at Japan, they have to hire pushers to push you into the trains. Here you wait for the second or third train and sure you will be able to get in without being pushed into it.
And where on earth can you find the best talents, paid in the millions, to manage the trains and run it so efficiently?
Be reasonable. It could be worst if you don’t have the best talents like ours running it, or don’t even have trains to take you around.
Don’t listen to people saying that only poor people take trains and you need to bath the moment you get home to rid yourself of the smell of poor people. Our trains are used by rich local people also. They don’t smell so bad like the snobs said.
Count your blessings. This is as good as you can get. Stop complaining. Wait till you get a rogue govt and mismanagement then you will know how good things are today.
See, positive thinking, I already feel better. Hope you people reading are also feeling better. And with the GE around the corner, things can only get betterer. Even the supply of COEs is more than before. And they have found out that Singaporeans are better for banking jobs also and the banks have started to recruit Singaporeans. Everything is so promising.
And there is a good chance that you may get a whole new train system to replace this ageing system. Now that must be something to look forward to. If we can scrap cars after using them for 10 years, we should consider scraping the train after 30 years and get a new and gleaming one with no problems to run again.
Smile, the sun is smiling.
Lin peh kong swee swee.
