However, there is one assumption.
That the gah-men maintains control on these companies and they do not forget their purpose.
However, when these companies focus too hard on the bottomline, and forget what they were originally set up to do, we have a problem that looks strikingly like what we have now.
Actually, I don't even blame the transport companies. They are just the most recent ones to get flak for system-wide amnesia.
The customer service in Singtel, has cause some to consider them Stink-tel.
They forget that they do not answer to the shareholders. They answer to the people of Singapore, whose taxes was used to create the company in the first place.
Comfort Delgro forget that they are at core a company that caters to the infrastructure of Singapore.
MIWs forget. That the reason why Singaporeans are so yielding is because when the nation of Singapore was formed, we submitted because of a social contract. One that is not explicitly written, but holds true nonetheless. That we give up the power to do exactly what we like, when we like, and in return the powers that be do what's the best for US, to the best of their ability.
