SINGAPORE: SBS Transit said it is assisting the police with investigations following an incident on Monday in which a woman was hit by one of its buses and pinned under its rear wheel. 🤢🤢🤢
The bus was making a discretionary right turn as the woman walked along the pedestrian crossing. Video of part of the sequence of events is obscured by a pick-up truck and when the pedestrian next comes into view, she is seen pinned under the right rear wheel of the bus.🤢🤢🤢
The police were also informed of the incident at the same time and said the "54-year-old woman was conscious" when she was taken to hospital.🤢🤢🤢
Investigations are ongoing, police added.🤢🤢🤢
SBS Transit is also assisting the police in the probe, Ms Tan of SBS Transit said.
***Bus driver was a one-man multi-tasking a huge vehicle, looking out for bus-stops when to move off, concentrating on passengers boarding and alighting. He only has one brain and one pair of eyes for all that could be happening at one time.*** We have a traffic system where green man traffic-lights are for the pedestrians crossing at crossings and traffic turning right and watching out for three-lane traffic coming straight on the left, everything at the same time. How did one not expect that this is definitely a recipe for disaster?🤢🤢🤢

To top it we have orang-bodoh drivers who are rude, impatient and drive like the roads only belong to them.
Who buys resale HDB? The ones who buy resales were couples getting married and could not afford the time to wait for new BTO. Some private property owners downgrading or some families which have grown in size needed a bigger space. When in urgent need and location suits, you pay?
No natural resources? Here one pays for half a million-dollar HDB expending upwards and they say it is subsidies? In most developed countries one pays half a million dollar for a landed spacious home and not subsidies, the developers can still earn a decent profit? Land cost for HDB must be horrendous. The land cost ends up in whose pockets? In undeveloped countries, a big house costs $100,000 and it is not subsidies. Do the math. It depends on the accounting.
Has there been any "Midas Touch" for the people ever since they inaugurate anything, other than they benefit? Think about it?

Lottery effect on public housing- This scheme was not created by the people. It was created by
ReplyDelete'intelligent fools.' BTO was standardised across the island. Out of nowhere appeared 2
unusual projects on prime land-Dawson & Pinnacle. People paid high resale prices for limited
style. Now they are trying to blame people for high resale homes. Why don't they built all
BTO as Pinnacle or Dawson, so as the population can afford to live in limited style homes?
Comfortable homes are a necessity, not a luxury. We only live once, why can't we live in
in comfort?

ReplyDeleteIt depends on the accounting.
AS suspicious as it looks, keep in mind
ReplyDeleteThe only country where 99 years pigeon-holes in the sky cost a few hundred thousand and are told that the flats are subsidised? Tio Bo?
ReplyDeleteThe hospital got subsidies. Every time I go my bill got itemise how much treatment cost, and how much money I suppose to pay. Genuine one.
