Have to agree, Minister kena played out by his own team.Last time, he supported nkf also. They say lightning doesn't strike twice.

Some people asking why the Nparks people need to cycle so much everyday.

40 km is no joke.

And big boss still want them to cycle more and raise productivity after purchasing these high class bikes.

got payrise?

charlize SG

got payrise?

We need to be cheaper better faster.

charlize SG

Have you guys seen what the bike looks like?

With the size of the wheels so small, you want to cycle 40 km on it?

charlize SG

I am no bike expert but i thought the bigger the wheels, the less effort to move a greater distance?

Wouldn't a bigger mountain bike with bigger wheels "improve productivity"?

Just like the expensive chair that they bought, if some one never disclose about the bike deal, no one would know.

The rice is cooked and they are not learning their lesson at all.

Wondering what else is extremely expensive that they have bought without our notice.

Bikes was bought with no warranty and it seem like the rest of the bike company were unaware of the tender.

Smell any fish ?

No one even bothered with this mistake and cancelled the deal.

So, what productivity are we talking about here ?

Where are the check and balances ?

Or the bike company is operated by Ah Kong or his uncle friends ?

Minister Khaw, no one is questioning about the quality of the bike but lots of queries are raised on the quality of the people that approved and raised the tender.

If there is lapse in this instant, what other lapses are we missing for other procurement ???

Any female bike sales executive involved ???

the expensive chairs had 10 or 15 year on-site all parts and everything warranty.. so if something breaks, or tears or something, you just call them and they come to fix the chair..

these bikes have or not?

Medicated Oil SG

They are bought from parallel importer.

So, no warranty.

ditzy SG

So how now brown cow?

Medicated Oil SG

No one is responsible, accountable or to be blamed.

Just like what happened to the train breakdown.

When they made a boo boo, it is a honest mistake and move on.

When you commit a mistake, you go to jail.

No need to ask for them to explain cos they will not do it.

charlize SG

Let's move on.

charlize SG

Pity the cyclists.

40 km a day.

the Bear SG

this one can move on.. up to 40km a day.. and on $2.2k bikes too!

sbst275 SG

can fold also... take bus chia

thing is... what abt overhaul? cannot be it can last you 15 yrs w/o any 1x overhaul

charlize SG

Can some cyclist enthusiast please explain to me whether it is more efficient and energy saving to cycle on a mountain bike than these kinds of foldable bikes.

I always thought the larger the wheel, the less effort to cycle.

This is the bike right?

Dalforce 1941 SG

charlize SG

And this bike is more efficient than a mountain bike or racing bike?

the Bear SG

And this bike is more efficient than a mountain bike or racing bike?

like the talking bus said, can fold up and take bus with it..

but then.. why not just take bus
