Years ago when singapore was still enthusiatic on suzhou
industrial project(SIP), the Chinese govt lease out a piece of land
beside SIP to develop residential property.
Singapore send its team of surveyors to survey the land... China's
group came, saw, discussed, built. The residential area was a very
good success. Property prices were booming. Blocks of apartment tht
were built by the Chinese counterpart were bought and sold for
profit.
Singapore was still surveying the land whilst China had already
built the apartment and people are already moving in. China had
walked all the way to the bank.
The story went on that China eventually took over the whole of SIP
and made SIP a success when it was a failure in the hands of SG
management
Today's news report at 10p.m. Singapore is now going to review its
World-Class transportation system especially
safety on the MRT tracks. Evalaution would only be out till mid
year of 07. We are taking half a year to review our world-class
transportation MRT? WTF is that?
Did'nt our lesson with SIP taught us a valuable lesson? Where is
the efficiency in Singapore managment??? i am not even comparing SG
with Japan or USA yet..i am just comparing with China.
Later on the news, the news reported that Newton Circle Hawker
Center suffered in business due to poor planning. Newton Circle
Hawker Center business dipped by 50%-70% when its raining due to
flooding and lack of shelters. Vendors complain about how this
upgrade of NCHC is more of a bane than a boom in business, after
years of upgrading.
WTF? after years of planning and construction, NCHC failed.
flooding and lack of shelters...sigh.. peasants can only
complain..
