Ok, second last post for the day. I think there has been a big hoo-ha about the train disruptions over this week. Well, I was stuck in a VERY bad traffic jam in the bus lane on 15 Dec, Thurs. I took 2.5 hours to reach home from Clarke Quay. Along the way, I saw many people queuing for taxis at all the taxi stands along Orchard Road. There were also many people calling for cabs, squeezing into the MRT bus shuttle and some people are just sitting by the road pavements. Guess they can't get a cab nor able to squeeze into the bus shuttle.
Anyway, one word to describe the situation: Chaotic. Really chaotic. Guess SMRT really needs to know what to do in an emergency.
I saw this article on The Straits Times website: http://www.straitstimes.com/The-Big-Story/The-Big-Story-3/Story/STIStory_745972.html
I find that Mr Goh Chee Kong is being quite ridiculous. He, as a senior vice-president for communications and services, sucks in proper communication. From what I understand and what I have witnessed on the roads, there wasn't really proper communications to tell commuters what to do. Anyway, if passengers are stuck in the train without any proper ventilation, why can't they break the windows? SMRT allowed the passengers to be stuck in the train without any proper ventilation (very serious hor) and no clue about what to do. What happens if someone (or many someones) died due to suffocation? Who's going to pay back the lives? SMRT?
Personally, I think that the guy who broke the window is a hero. At least he has saved many people. Maybe SMRT should really train their staff on better Community Emergency Preparedness programme. Apparently, it doesn't really come in useful.

If i got no money for my daily needs i also need help. We are the same but in difference way on expressing out.. Do you understand?
anonymous: use your brain la. u no job, you can still get ur lazy ass off the chair and find another source of income.

I don't understand the "eg" given..

The situation is totally different and why would you link it to robbing?... Cos u are interested in the MCD Food Straps?, that's why thought of robbing? -_-
@anon: U no money to eat, u can go to those charitable organizations, see your MP, borrow $$, find job, etc.. There's no need to rob my house. But if u are lack of oxygen in the train cabin, u tell me what else u can do besides breaking the glass?
Use your brain lah =.=

Im in emergency when i have no money, I break your window and get your money..HERO TOO?
are u sure you are a great blogger or just a copycat who follow the press? Why don't you just copy and paste the whole article? You as a blogger shall have your own brain to think rather than copying.. i think you are a most stupid blogger as i can see from all. Total disgrace of you
As a blogger you must lets anyone post any comment right? but why did you disable the anony? you only accept good comment? than i think you are not fit to be a blogger anymore. I will tell all others that you only accept nice and good comment other than is out of yor way
mr/miss anoy. when that fellow breaks the window for the sake of LIVING, he is helping EVERYONE in the trapped cabin and not only himself. if u are not even one of the passenger in the stuffy mrt that day, don't even try to act smart and relate everything base on your dumb thoughts.
and who are u to comment about the blog here? are u saying u are one great blogger so u have the authority to post such comment? this is HER blog and she can feel free to post ANYTHING base on her thoughts. if u are so unhappy about what she posted, jolly well get lost for good and dont act like one blardy kid creating a hater account just to post comment. you are just pathetic and please grow up yea?
And who make it a point that ALL blogger must allow ANYONE to post any comment? Even the famous blogger, xiaxue, restrict people from commenting in her blogspot. how about you, going over to comment what you said over here too?
A eg. for u (since i realised u like to eg. alot).. eg. a stranger went to your house and start commenting on the display/design/furniture layout. please lah, you think you will be happy to accept that or you will chase that fellow out with sh!ts? or will u start to improve on the locks and security to let such childish and brainless stranger to enter?
Total disgrace of you (oh does it sounds familiar?)
OMG! Some people are just so plain senseless.
