Imagine having to deal with train breakdowns periodically, and be hammered by commuters, their pride can't take it as this glaringly shows up even big shot Ministers themselves are ineffective to solve the nightmarish rail problems. They are only of medical and army backgrounds, not engineering.<br />As for Khaw Boon Wan, can see he has a thicker face by putting up the Liang-Zhu wayang on Parliament, maybe the $ sign could tempt him, after only 4 years of high pay, he could retire from politics beautifully with a big bank account to boot.<br />The MRT nightmare is a fundamental structural problem that needs an expensive complete overhaul. Blame LTA, Govt Agencies always allot contracts based on the cheapest bidder. You pay peanuts, get monkeys instead.<br />Had met Mr. Lui once to solve a problem. Even though I dun belong to his constituency, he offered tremendous help fast, but this episode reveals his true character, he's too gentlemanly and nice to be a Transport Minister, too good to be a politician at all. His grassroots would cry to see him leave. But he made the right decision, politics is not his cup of tea, unlike his barking dog colleagues, he just can't hurt anyone, probably the only PAP MP/Minister who is real, not fake, not power and money crazy, genuinely willing to serve the people, the old PAP oldguard category.<br />God bless this man.<br />Try swinging the tigam game, the next money crazy PAP man willing to replace Lui is plentiful.<br />yujuanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726993183726863734noreply@blogger.com
