      Prataking:
      just have wait till the next GE to see something being done about the high COE

      :scratchhead: to make it higher so that there will be less car on the road?

      or to make it lower so that the roads will be more jammed? :siam:

        I forgot to add...


        I don't like the taxi charges here. Everything also charge, if go by ERP have ERP charge, peak hours charges, km-distance charge, and waiting time also charge, booking charges.

        So complex calculation, still got to flag down the correct taxi to save the cost of the charges. 🤷

        Can't they do it like the neighboring country and set a charge on a whole trip? Why never remove booking charges? I also don't know where the taxis are when I needed to take one.

                I think for a change I would like to post what I love about Singapore compared to Jakarta, the place where I spent my childhood:

                - So many nice food here
                Compared to Jakarta there is so much more variety of food here, from hawker fares to fine cuisine. Most of the food in Jakarta is mostly fried fried, spicy spicy. Wah, when I first came here I was so baffled at all the food I never eaten before in my life.
                - More chio bu here
                I have to say this, there are more attractive Singaporean Chinese girls as compared to Indonesian Chinese girls. I know, coz i am married to one and deprived Singaporean guys one chance to marry a local girl. :evil:

                    Haha, when I walk in a shopping mall in Jakarta maybe out of 10 girls only 1 or 2 are chiobu, but in Singapore the ratio is more like 4 to 10. Singapore girls have nicer faces and legs. But Indo Chinese girls have nicer (.)(.) and fairer skin. :evil:

                      Lack of newspapers, tv and radio station....


                      We have st, bt, np, zb, wb, xm, 883,913,95,958, channel 5,8,u,news Asia etc but all under one roof... 🤷 Same thing reported everywhere.

                      Hate the awful eng/Chinese combo radio programme...they suck..especially the am shows on 883,933 :stompfeet: :mad:


                      Hate the food in food court....same stores selling same things everywhere and food so awful.....

                      Hate the u raise he price, I also must raise the price mentality........

                      Hate the up to 70% discount but realize only a small selection of awful, hideous stuff is at 70% off...the rest are only 10-20%. What happen to the rest?......

                      Hate the ambulance with sirens turn on and yet still wait patiently for the traffic light to turn green....

                      Seems like the hatred is brewing.

                      Doubt so cos I am always happy when I am back.
                      There are things I don't like but not enough to drive me away from this island. :imanisland: :imanisland:

                        Good for you. 🤷 For me, I am having some sort of \"culture shock\" when ever I am back to the country.

                        I feel that the neighbouring country seems less crowded, less bicycles ringing at me to hurry up, and more space to walk.
