We've had three terms of transport ministers who did nothing,
let's see if Lui Tuck Yew will be the fourth.
Raymond Lim presided over the largest hikes in all of
Singapore's history and oversaw the decay of SMRT.
His 2-term predecessor Yeo Cheow Tong said the future was in
trains and not buses, but did NOTHING to expand the rail network.
As transport minister, he couldn't even provide a proper single
feeder bus for his own estate.
So far, what has Lui Tuck Yew done except cut COEs within 4
months of the election?
YCT's problems were created in part by MBT, who made the decision
in 1999 to give NEL to SBST and force Tibs to merge wqith SMRT. Yew
Tee is one of the worst areas in terms of public transport
coverage. If SBS still in charge of CCK, maybe things will be
better.
Didn't Changi Airport extension open during YCT era?
