Re: Frequent Public Transportation Breakdown is worst than Hock Lee Bus Strike and Ri
Dear brothers and sisters
frequent public transportation breakdown is getting worst and out of hand and much worst than Hock Lee bus strike and riots in the 50s.
I believe Singapore is getting back to 1950s?

Hock Lee bus problems lasted less than 2 yrs. However, we have been living with frequent public transportation problems for years.
many students who are taking examination are affected by today SMRT incident
Sorry, don't mean to hijack your tread....but bus woes aside, it is very right that we are regressing backwards to a backward Singapore, the pace of which has accelerated in the last 10 years or so.
You and every bro know why!!!
As the Chinese saying goes ....' When the top is not straight, the bottom will be crooked...'
Just a simply measure - the state of our daily environment .....
a when you walk around, Singapore is no longer the 'Keep Singapore Clean' country that we could see in the past....everywhere you walk (except, the Hougang, Aljunied localities and a few elite places in central areas), we see litter scattered around the walking paths....dried leaves uncleared, but instead blown into the grass or bushes, even paper, cigarette boxes, butts hidden under the bushes....why? because contractor supervisors employed by TCs do not go round checking on whether the cleaning jobs are done.....foreign trashes responsible for cleaning could be seen doing wayang sweeping early in the morning, but by around 10 am onwards, disappeared to skivved, off, do another job or deployed to other areas to do some other work, and not completing proper cleaning jobs around the estates...
b when you walk around, we do not breath the fresh air that we once breath in the 80s and 90s....nowadays we smell cigarette smoke everywhere....because every monkey is walking around with lighted cigarettes, without a care in the world, along pedestrian foot paths, overhead bridges and even right next to the bus stop.....no point supposedly having the strictest anti smoking laws in the world...but it is a BIG LAUGH AND A BIG LIE - the laws don't get enforced!!!! We are now worse off than Johore Bahru or even crowded cities like Shanghai, where the air seemed to have less smoke as compared to Singapore now.
c Haze that come around year after year after year, without the problem being solved. Nowadays, instead of having only one haze period a year like the prior to ten years back, haze can appear all of a sudden and at any month of the year.
If the environment in which the people live in has deteriorated to a state similar to its past....how can it be that the country is better off??? and the people can have a higher standard of living or even be happier???
In Spore the PAP has made car ownership prohibitively expensive. So Sporeans are forced to rely on public transport.
