ha ha ha....."have a perfect view of orchard rd"" so must be some elites lor...the best solution is not ERP.....it is to make a 1.6 saloon cost more than a $100k like in the olden days....we do not need ERP...restrict ownership is more logical then restricting usage....why buy cheap when you cannot use it...ambulance stuck in jam and delivery stuck in jam is just all part and parcel of life....want a perfect life ??? maybe HEAVEN is the only place...."AFTERLIFE"....if there is really 1....

"His paternal aunts and uncles are Ivy League students who "speak with a slight American accent and use American grammar in speech". He has plans to renounce his Singapore citizenship and hang on to his Thai one"

A economics student? I reckon he is studying for A levels at the very most. Else he is gonna drop out from university soon with the depth of insight he is giving. [shocked]

 

I am neutral towards the issues, but this guy gotta seek help from his tutors or lecturers else hes gonna flunk his exams.

I think what they're worried is by increasing ERP substancially in Orchard Rd may cause prices in shopping centres to inflate.

 

If u'r a shop owner there in one of the shopping centres. U face ERP, high rent, parking charges, your supplies have to go thru ERP, utility, credit/NETS cards charges. U will eventually have to put the 'extra' charges on the consumers.

 

Who would still wan to go there to shop? Even tourists or locals would rather go Bangkok to do the shopping.

quite frankly, I do not mind cycling from pt to pt. Only that if there is proper cycling path.

 

Do anyone recall some donkey years ago, our govt did mention abt plans to link up all the parks in SG and provide cycling path?

 

 

Well... some donkey yrs ago... Ponggol also suppose to become a hip heartland.... look wat it has become? ..... Easy to say.... in the end, if no heart to do, they should not say it.

 

Actually, the did "link up" te cycling paths already wat..... but just that u may need to "hop" and "cross" from one link to another now......tats wat they mean by linking up [laugh][laugh][laugh] oh... if you are in-line skating.... just keep to east coast park path.... forget abt the linked up cycling parhs......

Between SG and US army....the most significant difference is that US got National Guards....to those who dunno...they are the ones that defend the country one...so unless someone fights on US soils...they dun need to be deployed overseas like the Marine, Rangers, etc...(which is to say...ku niang like him will jump at the first chance to join the National Guards Unit...and boast about his exploit in the "Army")

 

If war breaks out between US and SG....I will defend SG 101% and kick his arse too.

LTA doing what is best for society? [hur]

it's just to gain more revenue, that's all there is to it.

 

increase the number of vehicles + increase the number of erp gantries = increase in revenue

 

wanna cut down on traffic congestion?

abolish all cars on the roads lo, liddat no one will have cars and there wouldn't be any traffic congestions at all.
