Ask NKF sponsor lah, so difficult.

paperduck SG

tell them to go back kampong lah..GNN.

Kenashi SG

I think it is unreasonable to build the barrier.
When the price of transportation gone up, then everyone not happy.
Ppl just need to take care of their own safety, but too bad we r too kiasu.
Always want to stick our face on the door of the MRT so stand damn close siah.
Morons.

Heng, they decide not to build da gates ah. Otherwise, such expenses will be transferred upon the users of the SMRT system (again, dat's common high-handed means by these large corporations).

Now, we shall sit back, relax, and see what clever tricks the "think-they-so-smart" management come up with...

Suppose they find dat the existing manpower is insufficient to deal with the platform crisis, they may employ more wardens - dat means job-creation: dat's better than erecting barriers and thereafter sacking half their staff because they are no longer needed...

paperduck SG

i know, but i feel uncomfortable when i read when 1 of the reason is $$ matter.

Kenashi SG

money talks.
U c what will happen to u when u r broke.

paperchicken SG

Why must commuters pay ? Why not the govt pay for it ? Rolling Eyes

FireIce SG

if u bear the 2 billion, im sure they will immediately build

c'mon paperduck, kao ni le!

the Bear SG

with the damned barriers, if anyone wants to kill themselves, they still will…

paperchicken SG

Govt has 100 billion in reserve wat. Confused

the Bear SG

uhh.. to build an ineffective barrier?

not likely..

FireIce SG

our reserve is not to use to prevent ppl from being irresponsible on the train platform........

the best way is to still educate the public
and have more marshals and nannies on patrol

ShutterBug SG

Look at it this way; do you wanna pay extra bucks for the MRT ride because of keeping by installing barriers suicidal people alive?

In this issue, there two groups of commuters:

1 ) The Suicidals
2 ) The Itchy Backsides

Best of all, the $500 FINE will take care of the Itchy Backsides who tend to and likes to, stray across the Yellow Line, while NOTHING can be done about those who wanna die.

contact_thatslife SG

$$ talks. By e time they accumulate all e $500 fines in a few years, maybe they will start considering e idea of building e barriers again.

paperchicken SG

Then the reserve for wat ? Build palace for King of Singapore ? Rolling Eyes

contact_thatslife SG

How u knw ar? Is a state secret, u cannot anyhow tell plp. Evil or Very Mad Later u c they spend sme of e reserve feeding n housing u while u in Changi Prison. Very Happy

paperchicken SG

oops ...... Shocked

CX SG

it would be the biggest wayang if they decide to build the barrier...

we all know that it solves NOTHING...

we complain about gov't not giving us freedom and treating us like kids? hello!!! if u wanna be treated like an adult, then u must know how to take care of yourself!

it isn't even a safety issue... if pple wanna kill find ways to themselves, they friggin' will...

its not as if its THAT dangerous on an MRT platform... if pple will just stand behind the yellow line and mind the gap, what could happen?

the Bear SG

heaven forbid! they could be forced to be personally responsible for their own actions!! Shocked

Laughing

paperduck SG

paperduck SG
