Don't depend on the stupid surveys which are "structured" in the way they want to see.<BR/><BR/>Mr. Tan, I think you are a good man and you should seriously think of being an NMP. Or even an MP - Mr. Chiam is looking for a successor and he is an honest man with integrity too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11702093.post-679751447712041422008-04-28T23:54:00.000+08:002008-04-28T23:54:00.000+08:00The CEO of SMRT does not take the train as she rid...The CEO of SMRT does not take the train as she rides comfortably in her mercedes 500. How will she know how it is like at 9 pm? She rides comfortably while the rest of us hang by the straps.

The volume is sometimes far too loud and can be rather disturbing.<BR/><BR/>I also realize an announcement by SMRT to be very unhelpful. If you happen to be at Kranji, SMRT will make an announcement that to travel to Johor Bahru, we should take a bus from Marsiling or Woodlands. Actually, the faster method would be to take SBS Transit bus 170/160 or even the Malaysia's Causeway Link bus services. The timing of SMRT's announcement is "well-timed" and definitely intentional.<BR/><BR/><BR/>hongjunhongjunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17931328655666566330noreply@blogger.com
