Another point I want to make: 1 in 3 people here are foreigners now. Very soon, we will be drowned out by these "talented" people. I remember someone important said these so-called talents are here to help create more jobs for us and raise our income level and standard of living. I don't know about others, but I think we are much worse off than before. ANGRY!

I read that news also. An expert was quoted as saying "reliability is key when convincing people to use public transport". I wonder if people like that expert and the transport minister himself ever uses public transport...

Don't think they will survive a MRT ride without getting their feet stepped on... Expert... my foot...

Seems our country is run by the likes of republicans in the US (correct me if I'm mistaken). We need more democrats here.
