Recently, my son with a diploma and degree of IT went for a daily paid job as required by MOM.
Said the main function to deliver so called documents to the Peoples as addressed.
When back for the day, asked what's sort of documents that needed to be delivered personally to the addressees
Oh delivered SP passes and what's other employment passes to the addressee in offices and homes etc.
Wow, so many even in restaurants the chefs and cooks and offices of white collars workers.
So how pampered our Papies are to their Foreign Talents even sending personally by hand to those who took over many Sinkies Jobs and professions.
Just asked any now your unemployed children they do these jobs!
Papies said the population is declining and yet they goes full steam.to clear even the rest of the balance forests reserves for their BTOs as they had plans for another four millions with their cha bey liao profits of the BTOs flats.
Really no eyes see!
See now every estate besides the ones of flags and banners as put up by the Papies where you see any one hanging out our National Flag now!
Except for those balls carriers with interests and privileges!
PUI!

Attempting to increase the population with the touting about building homes into the sky or underground is a tat too ambitious and hard to fathom. What we are seeing right now is already signs that increasing the population is breaking down the social fabric at the seams. Whether building into the sky or underground, the Government still has to tackle the one main problem which is the overcrowding issue.
ReplyDeleteIf you guys cannot see the picture unfolding, you are clearly being sold a very discreetly successful brainwashing ideology. Just taking the morning train from any direction or MRT station will tell us what the unfolding problem really is about. Sure, building more MRT lines and stations will spread out the crowd, but never forget that all roads probably lead to Rome. There are destinations that the morning crowd are mostly headed to on all trains. Of course, they have the best brains outthinking ordinary beans like me.
Punggol is a clear example of what is unfolding, quietly and without real desperation yet. It is a small constituency built on the believe that problems can be solved as always like in the past. The situation is now so well camouflaged that they have tried to resolve with the deceptively free MRT rides in the morning, to take morning traffic on MRT trains away from the peak hours between 7.30 to 9.30 am. As the town develops and people move in, this is going to make MRT travel along the North-East MRT line really problematic. Worse still is building a university and a digital district for tech firms at Punggol Coast. That raises the question of what is to happen with the free rides in the morning over the longer term. Is it going to be a permanent feature? What about other MRT lines experiencing bottlenecks as more transfers are added, with the Cross Island Line feeding into stations that are already breaking.
I have no idea what is to happen with a ten million population because I have never envisioned or hope that it will happen. Singapore island is growing with land being reclaimed. But the issue of overcrowding is going to remain, permanently whether you live on Pulau Ubin, any of the southern islands or reclaimed land.
Why do I care if I stay in GCBs and driving around in a half a million dollar car?
ReplyDeleteThe sardines inside the trains can remain squeezed for comfort.
Those staying in GCB will not even see the problem unfolding. As Virgo always say, got eyes no see. I would add another - got ears no hear.
