i have just read the chinese article. dont know if i've misread
it, but was the article trying to say that, after 20 to 25 years,
Bukit Timah LIne and Eastern Region Line would have been completed,built, and in
operation, rather than the 2 lines would be completed
only after20 to 25 years.
there's a huge difference in meaning!!
Also mentioned in the article is that they are hoping that after 20
to 25 years, S'pore's rail network would be as comprehensive as
London's. So i am led to interpret that it is trying to say that in
2025, BTL and ERL, in addition
with many other rail lines, would have been ready, because,
if Singapore ONLY has BTL and ERL(plus JRL, Boon Lay Ext, and
downtown ext) added to it in 2025, the rail network is still
way behind london's and in
no way can be compared to
it.
