Singapore’s Land Transport Authority is currently conducting a six-month experiment over its latest method to collect public transport fares. A new wearable wristband will act as an Ez-link card and payment can be made by tapping on the Ez-link card reader in the same manner.

Again like an Ez-link card, the wristband, called the SG50 Smartbands, can also be used to make payment for restaurants and retail outlets. The government-controlled media Channel News Asia featured the wristband putting it up as a headline when its technology is basically a replica of the Ez-link card.

Shit! LTA wants to dog tag every Singaporeans who is taking public transport! Now we are going to be treated like dogs! I finally understood what LAO Goh is trying to say to us about getting bits of meat being thrown by oppositions!

This thing contains an RFID tracker! It knows where you are!

Welcome to big brother is watching you society again!
