Thank You, Qitai.
However, that's not what my original message means. It is not only
about those living next to MRT tracks but also those living next to
a highway, expressway like TPE, PIE, KJE, BKE and such!
MRT tracks will necessarily laid into HDB heartland. Town planning
is now moving towards places near these highways. Tampines, Pungol
and Sengkang, Chua Chu Kang are prime examples. As land is getting
scarce, this is inevitable. Something must be done with such noise
pollution, as our population size gets bigger (they are now talking
about 7 to 8 million as a long term target?), we will inevitably
have more vehicles on the road, more MRT trains on service...etc
etc. These noise pollution will have to be dealt with, apart from
other pollutions.
