I wrote this letter to the Straits Times to suggest how the $7-8 billion for the North South Expressway could be better spent. The ST did not publish my letter. http://tankinlian.com/admin/file.aspx?id=382
As many have expressed, the decision to spend that S$7 to 8 Billions have nothing to do with "easing" the congestion, Or was there a think-through of the problem. Like Mr Tan wrote, what about the end of the journey. Where to park ? Piecemeal solutions from "world-class" Civil Servants ? That was not so, ages ago, man !
Good letter. I didnt know it was so much to build the N-S expressway.
ReplyDeleteYes, i agree with you. there are a lot of better ways to spend this amount of money.

I suppose it's more about pumping $8b into the economy to benefit the local economy as an infrastructure project.
