So which are the 6 interchanges?
Thank you so much PAP govt 🙏🇸🇬
This is what transparency is all about. The gov imposed tax on communication, eg; COE, road tax, etc, those monies are plough into refurbishment on our transportation system to ensure our public commuters can enjoy a better and comfortable ride. As compared to other countries, their citizens don't even know where all the money go to.
Hope Whampoa will one of them! Like in year 1970
That's not good news, that means bus fares are going to increase.
Nothing good/best deals are going to come out from the government party big mouth, their big mouth are use for keeping their own self collect own self highest pay.
Also more types of toxic foods and all types of toxic jabs, as well as more toxic vapes are coming into Singapore/coming to Singaporeans.
The good for nothing government party always talk is one thing, but do is another thing, we as Singaporeans of course we know.
The good for nothing government party only know how to waste electricity by putting more than one thousand machines around Singapore running 24hr every day to collect back empty plastic bottles.
Families and firms said it is time the government release the singapore reserve money and gold bars to help them in this difficult "war on Iran" time.
The good-for-nothing government party is building more condos for foreigners working in Singapore and building more HDB flats for new citizens, while Singaporeans are forced to serve NS to protect foreigners and foreign workers in Singapore, and protect PR and new citizens.
But Singapore cannot have nuclear plant in the future because people from overseas are waiting " to do something bad " on the nuclear plant.
The good-for-nothing government party create more jobs for foreigners and foreign workers working in Singapore, and for PR and new citizens, while Singaporeans are forced to serve NS to protect these foreigners and foreign workers, and PR and new citizens.
Also sg soldiers are for show only, cannot fight during war or don't want to fight during war, escape is the most important thing during war. We as sg soldiers before so we know.
Bishan, Bukit Batok, Bukit Merah, Eunos, Punggol and Tampines
There is absolutely nothing that will make a noticeable difference to these interchanges except air-conditioning. But the government and C-suite executives have decided that Singaporeans don't need humane temperatures on their daily commute. They will continue to cut corners, draw their purses shut, and turn the A/C low on both trains and buses.
Whether funded by mandates or tax hikes, public upgrades sometimes just prop up the economy to benefit the rich, all while operational gains are kept as bonuses. Unfortunately, more bad news is on the horizon.
