Car free day, car lite society, healthy and happier Singapore

There were two forum letters in the ST on 5 Dec praising car free day and car lite society and how healthy and happier Singaporeans would be. The other letter wanted to make car driving more inconvenient, all for the purpose of discouraging car ownership and to encourage walking, oops, now taking public transport as a healthy and happier way of life. I can’t tell the difference between sitting in a car and in public transport except that the latter you would need to walk a short distance to the stations.

Anyway, this is the kind of Singaporeans that we should have for the future, very positive and very willing to change for the better. I can visualize what they would be thinking next to save the world and lead a healthier and leaner life. Eat less and exercise more. And they will also tell the govt to build smaller HDB flats to waste lesser of natural resources. They would probably sleep at 10pm every day to save on electricity. And they will even suggest to work less, or don’t work, to live better. Why work so hard? Living is good and people must enjoy life more instead of work and work.

Just hope they would not throw stones at people owning and driving cars to make it more inconvenience for the drivers, to encourage them to walk and stop driving. What would be the new slogan? Cars are bad, bicycles are good? Landed properties are bad, HDB flats are good, smaller HDB flats betterer? Oh, they may even say earn less good, earn lesser even better, cause no need to spend on expensive cars and big houses.

Singaporeans will soon lead a happier and healthier life without cars and without having to pay for millions to live in big houses. Teaching dogs to do silly tricks is easy. Teaching Singaporeans to think and act silly is even easier.

When would Singaporeans be shouting eat shit is good?
