1. You drive everywhere you go - air-con comfort, cheap and
super fast, able to balance going to work quickly and returning
home quickly without succumbing to the tropical heat.
2. I live like 10 min by car from somewhere in Bedok South to
Tampines central. When I had to take public transport - it becomes
a 35 min nightmare, 10 mins walk in the hot sun and humidity,
sweating crazily, feel uncomfortable, before reaching bus stop,
then wait 10-15 mins for bus, then bus goes to Tampines,
start-stop, jerkily, feel nauseous, then reach interchange, walk to
5-10 mins to office, if luckly then no sun or rain. So this
contrasts with people who are "rich" enough to have cars in
Singapore - what sort of bull**** is this?
3. Go to shopping mall, why keep walking into people, why wait for
elevator cars after elevator cars and cannot get on with shopping
cart and baby stroller? Because too many people.
4. Why when in mall, how come shopping carts so small, one not
enough, cannot hold all the things you buy, also, no double
children or triple children support shopping carts? hy wait in
aisles like traffic jams???
5. How come go to neighbourhood shop to pick up something for
50cents need to pay parking $2 per entry??
..... alll this and more.
I lived in an American suburb, all the same amenities, things much
cheaper, more space in mall, overall just much more comfortable -
SINGAPORE CANNOT COMPETE.
If you advocate more population expansion - it just sucks for all
of us.
Unless more investment and creative solutions are entered into the
equation for increasing living space per person.
ie, rules and regulations for shop and mall sizes, toilets need to
accomodate for greater crowds so that it doesnt stink just from the
crowds and the cleaning crew cant keep up.
We are not just a city ----- we are a COUNTRY and Singaporeans got
no choice to escape anywhere ----> we make our lives the way we
want it to be.
So by all means increase the population but make sure that we have
truly world class living conditions .....
