President Tony Tan is waiting for SMRT script from gahmen.

[Confuseous]

Amazing huh?
The President of the People has yet to say anything about the mess.
What does the consititution say about whether he is allowed to speak when trains break down?

 

[hairylee]

He is still clueless about the role of the Elected President.
Cannot fault him. Nathan was in that role for 8 years. 40 million dollars in his pocket and he is still clueless.

Prataman Sibeh Heng lah is that to say so? :p

He can only speak on something when LKY allows to speak, not only that, to say what LKY wants him to say. That's what happen when a PAP's choice of a candidate, or more accurately, LKY's choice of candidate gets elected. Imagine if it's TCB or TJS who is now the President instead, I believe they would have given it properly to SMRT, LTA and even the Ministry for Transport.

Si-meh? But surely can say a few words like "wish you were here" right?

Or "my heart is with you"

Or "I am doing my part - checking out how London copes with such situations. I don't mean 4 interruptions in 4 days but in general, although I am told that for the 100+ year system, they have never experienced anything like this before."

Don't be ridiculous. The President, as the head of state, is way above commenting on issues as minor as train disruptions. He's there to rally the nation when there's a real crisis.

Ya hor. So minor a crisis and yet the PM cut short his vacation to return to S'pore to address the issue. So minor a crisis and yet a full-scale inquiry committee is being established, what a waste of taxpayers' money. After all, what is three consecutive days of disrupting our people their work schedules and missing important appointments? And the inconvenience to the tourists, what's so bad about that, at least they can go home and tell their families they walked on the MRT leh, you people why got chance. Also the few who got sent to hospital, aiyo, real wimps and softies, just no ventilation and air, faint woh, how weak they are. And then also don't know why the Straits Times devoted 5 to 6 pages to cover this so miniscule a piece of news items, damn waste of newspaper space. You're really very insightful man, Mr Leongsam.

It is minor since nobody was killed or even injured. The govt has to go through the motions of pretending to be concerned simply to placate dumb singaporeans who make mountains out of molehills and the ST doesn't have much news to report anyway so they might as well cash in on the issue to sell more copies.

The problem with Singaporeans is that most haven't tasted real hardship. That's why they're making such a huge fuss over a minor breakdown which occurs on transport systems all over the world on a regular basis.

As for the PM's premature return he probably wasn't enjoying his vacation anyway so he used this MRT incident as an excuse to come home early.

Aiyah when all problems have been fixed by SMRT, Tony Tan and his fellow elite buddies would be invited to take a train trip to show Sinkies that all is well and good now..

Tony Tan has more important things to do. When my lawn mower breaks down, I don't bother about it or issue a press statement either. I leave it to my gardener to fix. He's good at such things.

I really love your logic, Mr Leongsam, I really do. I will kneel down and call your master in helping me how to think the way you do whenever I encounter a situation why I can't win an argument with facts and substance, but to fool the other party with warped logic. I'll be studying your every posting in order to learn more. Thank you
