151211 SMRT Breakdown Tweets Compilation

SMRT = Singapore Most Ridiculous Transport

@manicindiana: I hope when Running Man films in SG, they don't take the SMRT as their transport to and fro. If not, they DIE!

@Prem8911 I really feel sorry for SMRT. Yesterday with Circle-Line, today North/South line. Maybe 2mrw EastWest line.

@patlaw: #smrt , in France, a strike every week but in singapore, a train service breakdown everyday...

@X_Jayyy 40m of power rail between City Hall and Dhoby Ghaut damaged. What happened to the maintenance that #SMRT raised fares for?

@Skinnyrainbow Though the mrt fault did not affect me much, I hope #smrt CEO volunteer to resign immediately. Don't be thick skin because of high income.

@yuxiangsg #SMRT are you gonna compensate people's ALTERNATIVE transport for today? WE DONT MIND ONE WHOLE MONTH of free SMRT service.

@felixker #SMRT stock price confirm drop during pre markets!

@whollyblabby two hours to reach amk from cityhall. this is how efficient the mrt shuttle bus is.

@juliustruffles: MRT breakdown. Broken glass, darkness & suffocation, underground entrapment, tunnel crawling. Very World War 2."

2. Stop the Influx of Foreigners and "Talents",

3. Overly Congested Public Transportation,

4. Over Population of 5 million people within a Little Red Dot,

5. Job Insecurity etc.

Post Election 2011 - Report Card

After the 2011 election, found an interesting comment from Yahoo reader....


Please remember, PAP, you are the Elected Government of Singaporeans, not the Government of PRs or FTs. Those PRs who are good additions to and are willing to become the People called Singaporeans, let them cross the bridge and convert to Singaporeans. So that Singaporeans are One United People.
With the major transformation that has happened in the cabinet, we looking forward to a drastic change moving forward. After 5 years the report card will be presented from the people.

My State of Mind

The episode of me being in Singapore continues. After 32 months 'away' from this country, I am back to my usual Singapore lifestyle. What I learnt and realized when I was away?

While I was away..they shared / light discussions their 'perceptions' about Singapore

1. clean, systematic housing, transportation, rigid, too nice for comfort, 'I rather lived somewhere which is not "too straight', single majority system.

2. exchange rate good value to work there, a business regional hub for asia, expensive overhead expenses, instead if do it virtual (online)...cheaper.

3. casinos, moral society, job creation, old people need to work again, what so? isn't it a pitiful sight? equal opportunity, no natural resources; water, sand, manpower is natural resources? hmm natural pro creation infrastucture and mindsets?


The above were some of the topics discussed among colleagues and clients during my overseas stint.

I am almost 41 years old, what makes me realise is that I am bless with a well to do family, education and job that makes me love to travel and eat, I will try all types of food and listens to all types of sounds, see all types of situations anywhere in this world I can reach


a. Good and Bad Taste Food
b. Good and Bad Sound
c. Good and Bad Sight

In life, I feel we need to have the good and bad, to make the pure honest check and balance because I believe nothing in this world is PERFECT.

We need to taste, see, hear, touch the:
Black and White, Happy and Sad, Cry and Laughter, Success and Failure...

Its a learning journey for mankind.
