skeujin SG take a luk at the S$1... on both sides circling the edge theres an octagon.... rumor has it tt long time ago when the MRT was jus launched... there were many souls who haunted the tunnels due to their 'rest' being disturbed by the construction of the MRT.... these reports were especially frequent comming from the newton station whr victims of WWII or otherwise wer buried in mass/unmarked graves. LKY went to his personal spirit guide n seeked his advice... he was told to if he wanted the incidences to end. he mus make singaporeans carry the ba qua (8 sided taoist mirror thingy) to ward off spirits.. he was caught in a dilema. in a multiracial society how to make people of other races n religions, carry a taoist religious symbol? so he n his board of idea makers (i suspect they r also responsible for the everythg also fine in sg policy) came up with the idea of launching a $1 coin tt contains the image of the ba quah... since the launch of the coin... all reports of weird happenings in the MRT line have gone... truth or ficiton? http://www.sgforums.com/?action=thread_display&thread_id=90415
skeujin SG in order of appearance 1) MRT was launched 2) Spirits spotted in MRT lines 3) launch of $1 coin
skeujin SG to each his own... the official statement bout the design was tt its supposed to help the visually impaired recognise the dollar...
Parka SG Come to think of it. Why is it that there are altars for gods at bus interchanges but not at MRT stations?
RaTtY81 SG well its a fact tat the octagan exists. as for the conclusion, each has its own thinking...
Angel^_^ SG hmm..maybe...maybe..when they saw it..they didn't bring any one dollar coin..? keke.. well..to each its own..but it's worth to give it a try on our next exploring outing..one rule will be..No One Dollar Coin Allow..
True_Xerion SG heh, possibly this is a backstory invented to tie all these seperate facts together! But a fun read nonetheless! TX
antoh SG actually do you think the construction of the circle line is the destruction of suntec city?
DeathScyth SG it maybe nonsense to most and urban legen to all... though i have yet to believe what was mention, i'll take note and hope it's hearsay people talk and not you're making a rumor.
