MRT Line Broke Down Again. Massive Crowds on Platforms.

[sleaguepunter]

I have driven many times with faulty brakes. On my crap British Leyland Mini, it happened monthly.

you brought a car built in an era where the workers spent more time standing beside burning rubbish outside the factory than inside working and expect the damn car to work flawlessly?

I thought the bug was air cooled!

I bought a mini because I wanted to soup it up. I sold the Singapore made piece of shit after 2 years and bought myself a 2nd hand Cooper S with twin Weber carbs sticking through the dashboard.

I think my parents brought a water cooled VW kombi van, not aircool engine.

The Mini wasn't an Ah Beng car in those days. The Bengs drove Datsun SSS and Mitsubishi Galant.

The poor Yuppies drove Minis and the rich Yuppies the BMW 2002tii.

It wasn't sticking out of the bonnet. It was sticking out of the DASHBOARD! Are you blind or illiterate?

ANOTHER MRT BREAKDOWN, 14 JULY 2014: “FIRST WORLD TRANSPORT SYSTEM”
http://thatboyhuman.com/2014/07/15/another-mrt-breakdown-14-july-2014-first-world-transport-system/

Pictures from near Clementi station:

Despite my frustration with this latest breakdown, I am secretly hoping for more breakdowns to push the frustration levels of Singaporeans to breaking point. Only then, shall we see the end of this regime.

The PAP govt couldn't even get its basics (housing, healthcare, public transport) right, and it wants to increase the population to 6.9 million?
Clinically insane, no less.

Why you so rude ? Why carborater stick out of dashboard ? Dashboard have more wind then bonnet ?
