somehow i realise that ppl in charge will fail to see the root of prob... for example, if the traffic increased in CBD causes increase in traffic accidents..wat can we do abt it... we can ban taxi drivers from doing street pickups/drops... so that they will stae queued up in taxi stands...and ppl who are disabled/old can either wheel themselves or crawl over just to hail a cab... and we can have tourist blister curses at innocents cab drivers who abide the law to not drop tourist at their destinations cuz some places conveniently do not have taxi stands...and being tourists, they should know their way around prior to coming over and thus be able to make their way from the taxi stands to whichever place they want to...
no doubt...reckless taxi drivers who rush to snatch passengers might cause accidents..but considering the fact that they are drivers who have a wealth of experience driving... the problem sometimes might be the newbies drivers on the road who are unable to react to unexpected driving conditions.... but oh well...in charge ain't ever easy...and there ain't always a way to appease the whole world...
take a look at the issue in a local uni...converting hostel rooms to student squatters... by cramping more ppl in a room ain't gonna solve a room shortage prob... why do students live in hostel...to save travel time, to study more in a comfy area, to have fun... having 3 ppl in a small place ain't comfy...u'll get to have fun... but the best thing is...u'll get to pay more for less! and from my mkting lessons... i think tt isn't exactly the way to do business...if we call providing living quarters to students a bizness... but oh well... for the ppl who aint happy...u can buzz off and live in your changi /hougang...there's bound to be a 1000 other talents from another country 8 hrs away who wunt mind 3 in a room...and hell...they wunt even mind 10 in a room!
and was at the JP bus interchange waiting for bus...and suddenly was gripped by a fear... since when am i the minority race!?! i hear ppl blabbering in so mani languages i dun understand...it's as if globalization has set upon jurong... if u wanna experience globalization, u dun need to go elsewhere...juz visit JP on a weekend... it'll open up ur eyes to a whole new world... we indeed are lucky to have so many foreign "talents"....
to end with a song i like...
"the things we do for the person who never knew... the road we travel to reach the unknown few..."
