Many Singaporeans these days are just so skeptical, shallow and
narrow-minded about the things that the government does... Life is
getting too good right?
I agree totally with matleep's post above. This floating platform
is the world's first and largest flating stage and it will attract
lots of attention and activities, and in turn generate lots of
extra revenue, job opportunites, increased tourism etc. Who says
it's only meant for NDP? So many other kinds of creative ideas can
be carried out on this largest floating stage in the world! Oh, and
by the way, who says it will be dismantled after 5 years? It was
only reported that the next 5 years of NDP will be held there.
Nothing was said about demolishing the platform after 5
years.
And regarding matleep's last point, you guys just dont understand
how precious, important and useful these floating platforms are for
the combat engineers. Portable bridges is the key idea. Why did
DSTA design the platform in many easy-to-assemble and dismantle
pieces? Just because it can be turned into a temporary bridge or
other floating platforms in times of war.
I know many of you will still have your own negative views
regarding this new floating stage, and of course you are entitled
to your own views, but please do seriously give a thought about the
whole issue before making irresponsible comments.
