Some how kinda hard to believe...could there be a misunderstanding or really it is normal? From ST Forum: http://www.straitstimes.com/STForum/Online...ory_773718.html Arrived at Terminal 1, luggage handled at Terminal 2 Published on Mar 5, 2012 I ARRIVED at Changi Airport's Terminal 1 on Flight SQ425 yesterday. After clearing Customs, I went to buy some beer at the DFS shop. While queueing, I saw a fellow passenger being asked to make his purchase at the DFS shop at Terminal 2 instead. He dropped the items and walked off with a look of frustration. When it came to my turn, a staff member explained that passengers who arrived on my flight were supposed to make their purchases at the Terminal 2 DFS shop, as the luggage handling was done at that terminal. She said this was because my point of disembarkation was 'very near' Terminal 1. This piece of information came as a surprise, and no one in the queue was aware of this at all. Why did the crew on board not advise the passengers prior to landing? Can a passenger clear Customs at Terminal 1 while his luggage is being handled at Terminal 2? And how does he make his way from Terminal 1 to Terminal 2 without violating security regulations? I had no check-in luggage, but I could imagine the frustration and confusion of the other passengers. This could give foreign visitors a bad impression of the country. I was embarrassed to overhear one Singaporean passenger saying: 'This cannot happen in Singapore.' The relevant organisations need to provide an explanation. Song Heng Mun

A MRS crashed along Yishun Ave 1 (again) near OCC yesterday morning. Young driver passed away, passenger still hanging there in hospital. My condolences. Decided to post here in the MS folder coz i think it will be good to discuss why seemingly well handled cars didn't seem to help much on SGP roads. MRS is mid engine rwd. Of coz people will say it's the driver, but let's discuss just the car itself for now, and not on track which has smooth surfaces, but on the streets, with all our bumps, cracks and uneveness So assuming all drivers are equal, how much really do the aspects of the car have an impact on handling along Singapore roads. 1. FWD vs AWD vs RWD 2. stability features like LSD or TC etc 3. Sizes of tyres 4. Suspension types like double wishbone, torsion beams etc
