Coffee Shop talks on ERP gantry

[Typhoon125]

Last few days, during breakfast, lunch....had overheard table besides me talk about ERP

 

gantry at least 4 times man....This is like SUPER HOT Topic now man!! It really got my

 

attention now......Been curious, I gather datas from what this people are talking about

 

It's not me whom say this, but this is what I heard from strangers....Is it true??

 

1. Every gantry is build with more the a million dollars inclusive of patent rights with tax-payer money....dont know accurate or not....that's why call coffee shop talk...

 

2. Another man upset that he paid tax to build gantry and then pay again

 

3. Got one upset and said, then COE for what Fark? Funny too....

 

4. Then got people said that they made millions out of the gantry and under declare the amount inorder not to have a public outcry....also dont know accurate boh.....

 

This are the 4 main points people talk about....the rest are small complains like most Singaporeans....I feel that all this measures are needed to check on the car population as space is limited here.........hence....I just have to work harder to pay for more road usage.........Please note....I not a Government worker....just a daily road user.....

point 2 make sense. pay tax for them to tax us again.

i guess the only way to verify is to have someone working in the related depts to leak the facts and figures out, but then must be prepared to sit in jail for a very long time.

 

there's no way of knowing.

[Typhoon125]

Ya...one of the hot complains made by most man, which i also find kind of true too

[Typhoon125]

a spy ? let's start training one from the forum

[macrosszero]

Even if they open the books for public scrutiny, there'll still be people that are going to say that it is bogus data.

[Chongster]

but LKY says last night that because he sues everyone who says that govt is corrupt, all singaporeans know that govt is not corrupt.

 

if anyone can explain the logic please let me know.

yes, it was 1.5 mil per gantry.....they say in newspaper already

[Rncw]

i dun think anyone can prove that the gahment is corrupt

"yes, it was 1.5 mil per gantry.....they say in newspaper already"

 

Do we believe everything they publish in the media, especially the Singapore media? In fact, Singapore media is the one I'll least believe in (especially on news about Singapore).

There is no false reporting in Singapore (otherwise may be sued), only selective reporting.

knn.....

 

 

COE is to control car population growth in SG.....

 

ERP is to control usage in SG.......

 

they want everyone to have a chance of owning a car but with so high import tax, road tax, fuel tax, insurance premium.......

 

simple calculation, all $$$$$$ goes to the Gov....

 

 

and got cheek to ask pleasant to play a part to donate to charity.....

Singapore Media can only under declare... cannot over declare on garment earnings.

1.5mil per gantry.. that's a huge amount, considering just a bunch of steel structure with a digital display board.

 

hmm.. wonder if the newspaper got tell who owns the patent, which company doing the project? any breakdown of the cost?

hope its not won/owned someone-someone-someone's distant relative

[Sdf5725]

It is OVERPRICED.

[Genie47]

The Singapore gahment is not corrupt. They are just inept, stupid and totally unaware of these wonderful qualities they have.

[Genie47]

But we can see they are pretty stupid, right?

[Leepee]

$1million for the gantry is way too ex.

Maybe gov also consider the two square footprint land for the gantry at market rate!
