He said this :
"When you ask Singaporean residents for feedback, they will
complain that they have to wait more than 15 minutes for the bus.
But when you ask new immigrants, they are happy that the bus comes
in under 30 minutes."
1. Are you comparing 1st world with 3rd world or developing
nations? There was hikes after hikes on transport fares alone in
the last few little years. How much is the transport fare
there? How small is the place there to provide transport services?
How far does singapore commuters need to travel compared to 3rd
worlds ? How much our talents paid compared to
theirs?
Want to compare ? SURE ??? Okay, compare with 1st world
Swiss standard . Their transport on the dot. Want to compare?
Compare with French 'MRT'. Its service Frequency is superb. Miss
any train, no issue , another one on the way in a flash or short
while.
2. I disagree with his method of comparison.
3. I ever worked with many FT colleagues before. They
also complain the waiting time what. So, what is his Basis for his
comments? What is the sample size used? Who are the foreigners he
talking about? Are there ZERO foreigners who complain the same way
as singaporeans?
4. How do you know they happy that bus come in under 30
minutes?
Who happy? Which one? All happy? Could some foreigners have
higher expectation also?
I suggest there be a public debate held to talk to him. Like
this clearer and more spontaneous.
Must understand pee ay pee, they compare on things that benefit
them for eg comparing public servants, pay and pay ministers'
salary with those of the corporate
ppeople.
WE are just so shortchanged to have such a greedy, selfish, self
serving ruling party in Singapore. The sad thing
is they will continue to rule generations after
generations.
