Serious "Chiam Slayer" Seetoh: 'Fashionable Among Young Sinkies To Not Own Or Drive Car!' Drive e-Scooter More Sexy Is It?

[JohnTan]

Singaporeans have taken to the idea of a car-lite society, so much so that it has become fashionable among young adults not to own or drive a car, said Government Parliamentary Committee for transport chairman Sitoh Yih Pin on Wednesday (19 September).

Speaking on the sidelines of the official launch of a public engagement exercise for the next Land Transport Master Plan (LTMP 2040) at the Land Transport Authority (LTA) headquarters, Sitoh was asked how Walk Cycle Ride (WCR) modes of transport – a key part of LTMP 2040 – can be made more attractive to Singaporeans.

In response, the 54-year-old Potong Pasir MP noted, “This concept which we floated several years ago about a car-lite society, and today we are talking about WCR – Walk, Cycle and Ride – has very much become a part of the lives of many Singaporeans. In fact, especially when you talk to the young, it appears to me that it is becoming very fashionable not to drive so much, maybe not even to own a car, and to take public transport more…even to walk and to cycle.”

Sitoh is also a member of the 15-member Land Transport Master Plan Advisory Panel, which will advise LTA on recommendations for the next LTMP. The Panel is chaired by Senior Minister of State for Transport Janil Puthucheary, who launched the public consultation exercise with Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong as guest of honour.

Over the next few months, Singaporeans will be able to share their ideas and opinions on the LTMP via electronic polls and focus group discussions. Their views will be incorporated into the LTMP, which will map out the future of Singapore’s land transport system for 2040 and beyond. The Panel will release its recommendations in early 2019.

A Public Consultation Document (PCD) was also released on Tuesday with three broad themes: how walking, cycling and riding can be made the preferred ways to travel, how to make these modes of commuting easier and more inclusive, and how the land transport system can improve the quality of life.

Dr Puthucheary noted that more than a thousand people have already given their views via e-polling. “In those views, we agree…we want it be convenient, connected, faster. But there are trade-offs to consider, there’s a balance between all the different interests and the views of different stakeholders. How do we deal with those issues?”

The 45-year-old noted that one key area of feedback was the transfer time between different modes of transport, which adds to the commuter’s travel time. In this regard, one key strategy in LTMP 2040 is to provide and facilitate more direct means of travel.

Wednesday also saw the opening by PM Lee of the SG Mobility Gallery, which offers visitors a glimpse of the future of Singapore’s land transport system. Lee also graced a ceremony marking the completion of 200 kilometres of sheltered walkways under the LTA’s Walk2Ride programme.

For those with families, car is a must. So gahmen penalise those with kids with punitive car taxes, but at the same time, want sinkies to get more babies, by giving silly baby bonus and small time incentives.
Those who got married and are pregnant with first child should should be allowed to buy cars tax and coe free.

Even I have to admit that this seetoh guy must be drunk to sprout such nonsense.

Girls love guys who drive. A man without a car is like a man without his dick.

Chairman of the Government Parliamentary Committee for transport and Potong Pasir MP Sitoh Yih Pin speaks to reporters at the LTA HQ on Wednesday, 19 September 2018.
Singaporeans have taken to the idea of a car-lite society, so much so that it has become fashionable among young adults not to own or drive a car, said Government Parliamentary Committee for transport chairman Sitoh Yih Pin on Wednesday (19 September).

... “This concept which we floated several years ago about a car-lite society, and today we are talking about WCR – Walk, Cycle and Ride – has very much become a part of the lives of many Singaporeans. In fact, especially when you talk to the young, it appears to me that it is becoming very fashionable not to drive so much, maybe not even to own a car, and to take public transport more…even to walk and to cycle.”
....

This is why we call PAP LEEders as arrogant and manipulative LIARS.
On what basis can this complacent LIAR make an absolute claim that "Singaporeans have taken to the idea of a car-lite society."
His second claim " It HAS become fashionable among young adults not to own or drive a car" further attest to the MP's credibility and capability. LIARS have not shame to manipulate and lie without batting an eyelid. PAP LEEders...unscrupulous...as always.

In present day Singapore, young adults are unable to 'buy and maintain a second-hand/used car'. Many cannot even afford the PAP's extortion paper, the COE. Of course, many do not want to be cheated by the $$elf-$$erving PAP-led Government in having to pay a 10-year rental fee and taxes UPFRONT. These young adults refused to own a rental-car from the unscrupulous PAP-led Government.

 

[Kopi0Kosong]

In view of what the PAP LEEders are stating, I, as a Singaporean, hereby suggest and recommend that:

1] All PAP LEEders not to own or drive a car;
2] All PAP LEEders MUST walk the talk by walking, cycling or using public transport;
3] All Governmental Ministries and government-linked boards, agencies and companies shall not provide vehicles for official/unofficial use.
4] Government shall not provide vehicles for visiting dignitaries and Heads of State.

14 mths bonus for this bullshit... remember that.

Lol.... How much did we pay this clown again?

Chiku talk.,

He should walk the talk by selling his car and getting a scooter.

Walkway, bus stop flooded after heavy rain at Ang Mo Kio

[Posted in wrong thread... but since this post is here]

Bus-stops flooded. Buses diverted.
Walkways flooded and slippery.
Are our walkways, side roads and housing estates safe for walking or cycling every day, every minute? Ask AMK constituents.

Deleted - wrong thread. Sincere apology.

This man is FAT. PAP must have fed him very well. Soon to get health problems if he doesn't cut his weight!

 

[hofmann]

Another instance of ivory tower syndrome.

It's "fashionable" because the young can't friggin afford to drive. Do you think they want to waste so much time on travel and waiting for connecting buses? Why do you think there's a rise in use of private hire vehicles?

These cost of living issues are going to hit the millennials really hard. They'll be wondering why old farts like us get to drive around on our congestion free roads while they have to suck it up and deal with unpredictable delays on public transport.

Idiots like sitoh are detrimental to the development of our society, feeding one sided bull shit to his political masters, whom I hope are smarter than him to see through his Bull fucking shit.

The hipster movement arose becuase the millennials couldn't afford the fancy lifestyle of Gen X. They made it "fashionable" to conceal their poverty and console their egos.

It appears that he did not walk the talk i. e. WCR, the concept which he is advocating.

No money to buy and maintain a car, other reasons are all BS.

buying a car for mid to low ses sinkies is the most foolish financial decision in sg. cars and suvs should be reserved for high ses sinkies only. any cars in sg that sells for less than $369k should be banned.
