Oki,here is the business-plan for MRT CEO who is more interested in making monies out of all the empty space into retail outlets than actually running a transport company.
This enterprising money spinning idea now becomes viable ever since MRT breaking down had now become a daily occurance if not an hourly affair.In short,it is no more once a 50 years sports but a daily affair.
Let commuters place bets each time they take a train.The money can be deducted from the same card.The betting is for whether they will reach their destination or not.Odds and other details can be worked out later.This is a win win situation for both SMRT and the commuters.With this stroke of ingenuity SMRT now can also contribute to our casino based economy without spending any more billions-- since all the infrastructures are already there.Just buy some additional software.That's all.
Commuters can now bet without going the extra mile to a Singapore pool outlet.And most importantly they might not complain that much if and when the MRT do breaks-down.Since there is a 50%/50% chance that they may have betted for a breakdown.And the CEO of the SMRT and their staff need not worry about facing the anger and the wreath of the public nor a hostile press conference.And it goes further--the blurfuck transport minister needs no wayang to cry in public .
Of course,there is always this question whether SMRT will kelong or not.But than we do not know whether Singapore pools ever kelong or nor,right?
Besides,betting on such a large scale by the seconds might actually push our GDP by another 2%...which will make all our ministers happy since their bonuses are tied to GDP.
