I took the train to town yesterday and it was so obvious that most of us are hiding up in our homes with video games, rented DVDs and books - there was almost nobody on the train south-bound to town. On my way back, I got sardined into the train when other foreign workers tried to shove themselves in with no avail.
We're all quite paranoid about taking public transport today. The solution is better public relations, crisis management and a revision on maintenance policies. We're prepared for terrorist attacks but not train break downs, maintenance was done 10 years ago because there is an expected life span of 50, a day after day disappointment? Whilst this is probably the biggest failure for Singapore of 2011 (WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?!), I'm disappointed with Singapore and it's lack of creativity and acceptance.
The people always come to the conclusion of a "gracious exit". How does an exit lead to problem solved? Because the woman is lavish and is dramatic? Like I've said, it's really stupid to become a drone to run something, who needs a drone - we need a person of stature, personality and leadership. Obama's victory was contributed by charisma and personality after all.
It is entirely absurd to me that, such a movement is really going to help. A take over by someone else "more suited" is often limited because in a time like this, the replacement is limited by a lot as well.
Besides, the problem here is ultimately her salary. Her salary is "too large" for her to make any mistakes. I would agree with that but Singaporeans should be used to people getting big salaries and making (big or small) mistakes anyway - if you know what I mean. The justice is not spread if it is only applied to one.
