I think the event is led by the desire to show displeasure to
the government. And it happen so that this bus fare hike comes into
the scene and it becomes an issue blown up with malicious intent to
exploit on the issue and stage the first step towards
an anti-government movement.
In my opinion, the movement is made because the members wanted
to show their displeasure towards the 'government for implementing
unpopular measures'.
Mirrored by the trade unions in the west, many of these trade
unions went on strike to get their message across. Unknowingly
there are selfish higher agendas creeping within the ranks of
the union leaders.
What I think is that the online
citizen does not have the intention of dealing with the problem.
But rather to 'show displeasure' to the government for excluding
their rights to policy making.
The public transport industry becomes a scapegoat for their
twisted agenda.
this i agree. if people really want to solve this hike issue, go
and file for petition. get 200,000 singaporeans and ask them to
sign a petition; file it to the Prime Minister's office, send a
copy to Straits Times or even overseas newspaper. make it a big
"news" and see where it leads to.
i don't believe SBS will not "hear" your petition if you have
200,000 strong support. if 200,000 not enough, get 1,000,000. we
have 4.5 million population here.
