"Tertiary students are older and much
harder to convince (of the value of the services), he
said
.
Its because if you piss tertiary students off, they will leave, or
they may revolt. If the entire Singapore population were to
revolt,, under a revolutionary leader, the government will be
powerless. Seriously, the trick lies in uniting the people for
revolution. But it may come one day.. one day. Anywayz, they dont
want to be hard on older students, because older students have more
rights than dumbass primary kids.
EZ-Link earns a commission each time someone uses its
cards to pay for a purchase.
They must be desperate for $
But i dont give a damn, I have my rights, I have my card, which is
useful for riding the bus and proving to people I am an innocent
student. That's all the use it will ever be, besides helping prove
i exist and for borrowing books.
But I question the logic of banning money? What is wrong with
money? If you keep all your money in a card, that is very risky.
How does one check how much money he has in his card in an
OVERCROWDED stressful school environment, (like most primary
schools), with hectic schedules, not enough time to go to the
toilet even, let alone check how much money you have. Also, to
check how much money you have in coins and notes is faster than
using a card, you need a special scanner machine to check it. It is
very illogical
After all the bull i have read, I still do not see the reason for
such a programme. Other than: ""It is important for us to
understand that the school has taken a futuristic approach to
helping their students adopt the right mindset to 21st century
financial transactions, the age of the cashless society."
