Didn't assume anything, just that i think it something that is not fair to complain the public transport as that is something that as i say before cannot be solve easily and will always exist whenever we go.Originally posted by Rhonda:Did I ever say that peak hour traffic is a breeze in other countries??
Please do not assume that because I complain about the public transport here and I'm leaving for a different country, it means that I'm leaving for that country because of the public transport here, ok!
And i will say one more time, you are going to migrate there for any reasons is none of my business and i choose melbourne as an example of having the same problem as we are now is simply becos i have live there for 3-4 years. simply as that.

Hey, then don't impose your ideas of whether it's 'fair' to complain about public transport or not cause I personally don't care if you think it's 'fair' or not, I dislike the system, and I shall go ahead and complain about it.Originally posted by strikefreedom:Didn't assume anything, just that i think it something that is not fair to complain the public transport as that is something that as i say before cannot be solve easily and will always exist whenever we go.

What I'm trying to tell you all along is, don't impose your judgement of fairness upon me. I appreciate what you're saying about the Melbourne public transport system, and good that you realise I'm not viewing their system through rose-tinted glasses, BUT we all have a right to express our opinions, so it's fine to agree to disagree, but it's not fine to tell me it's not fair to dislike the system. -
errrr..how do I post a pic

Aiyah, strikefreedom, pang chance a bit lah People wanna complain about how crowded trains/buses are, let them let off a bit of steam lor. I was once like that too. Let us give each other a listening ear now & then, not a 'lecture' or get defensive about how good this, that or the other is.

Club 30 is just a forum where a few of us 'meet' regularly to post in.Originally posted by Coquitlam:Hi Rhonda & Lazer
Plsed to meet you both..hehehe....now me got to balek kampung and ask you guys...what is Club 30??
Rhonda....me going to the land of the Maple Leaf..hehe anyone going my way?
I feel so claustrophobic here...sheeesh, can hardly breathe. Everything is so superficial here, no wonder I have become so cynical the past couple of years...
Where you all headed to...Anyone wants to see some real open spaces?
I'm heading for Melbourne. There are actually two Club 30 peeps who are in Canada - littlestream and Fatum. They usually congregate in Night Owls Chatterboxes, one of our threads in here, on weekday nights, sometimes, on weekend nights too... so if you can pop in, you'll be able to talk to them. -
Actually, you know me so well!Originally posted by SydneyLibrarian:Aiyah, strikefreedom, pang chance a bit lah People wanna complain about how crowded trains/buses are, let them let off a bit of steam lor.

Who knows, when I'm there, I will complain about the public transport there! AAAAaaah Harharharhahahahaha!!! -
Singaporean whatOriginally posted by Rhonda:Actually, you know me so well!
Who knows, when I'm there, I will complain about the public transport there! AAAAaaah Harharharhahahahaha!!! Our nature is to complain
Tell me, have you ever met a Singaporean who DOESN'T complain? -
OK, back to the topic about Singapore becoming overpopulated!
-
I'm sure many people would use bicycles (instead of public transport) if pedestrians and motorists behaved more favourably (while some cyclists themselves can be more considerate). But that's a different issue altogether.
-
nope.. people are lazy.. they're not ride..
-
At the end of the day, the public tpt here is still 3rd world sv std
As for others, no matter how much more land they reclaim, is still not enough for us to rest, leisure and live -
The overpopulation problem is one that worsens with each day and the ticking time bomb will eventually go off. Or maybe it already has.

6 million is nothing to the government. Wait till you hear this Hong Kong speaker says we need at least 10 million. This one is called something.Originally posted by Rhonda:This question, of course, is contrary to the govt's plans to hit a population of what... 6 million??
If I'm not wrong, we currently have 4.5 million now.
And if you look around, our resources are almost bursting at the seams already! Look at how insanely (and uncomfortably, and stinkingly) crowded our trains and our buses get during peak hours!!
I'm going to dig up statistics on population density, if possible.
In the meantime, I'm just glad that I'm leaving this place and won't stand the chance of being edged off the coastlines of the island-state!
I'll be quoting a few Club 30 peeps here, cause some really good points were brought up in our discussion in our Jive Pad.
Peak hours are expected to be crowded. If peak hours not many people, got something wrong. Means that lots of people no jobs and students lose interest in studies because after graduation no jobs. Study also no use.
Population density - don't need to dig up. We have the most number of people per square metre, if I never remember wrongly. -
That is becoming a very serious problem in Japan right now. Lots of young people don't give a flying fuck about anything anymore.Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:something wrong.

http://www.singstat.gov.sg/keystats/annual/indicators.html
Population Density (Per Sq Km) 6,222
Land Area (Sq km) 699.4 -
Korea also. Can't remember a phrase which the media used to describe them.Originally posted by av98m:That is becoming a very serious problem in Japan right now. Lots of young people don't give a flying fuck about anything anymore.
Today ST also report that Japan needs to wake up and do something, if not they will lose out.
Up to them. Anyway, like that better. We got less competition for jobs. But I doubt so. They are very creative. So, I guessed their creativity will help them sustain for a while. -
Yes. Yes. Yes. I've been away for 14 years now. With each infrequent visit back, that's the first thing I notice, wondering did we have a population boom? Where did all these "extra" people come from? Friends there clued me in on the govt's population plan. But you know, with so many people packed into one tiny island, I feel that Singaporeans have gotten so rude!Originally posted by Rhonda:This question, of course, is contrary to the govt's plans to hit a population of what... 6 million??

Just my 2 cents. -
i think we need to migrate..
to space!!
no wonder they are building some space facility thingamagic here.. -
it's like a whole generation deciding to give up on traditional industries and jobs.Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:Korea also. Can't remember a phrase which the media used to describe them.

I think in the coming decades, the world will change in very huge ways, in terms of employment, industry and even societal attitudes.
We might be moving away from the traditional forms of production/industry driven societies in the future. -
BTW, pls dun compare singapore with the major cities of the world. It is not right.
Although certain things in the major cities is worse than singapore, the ppl there can chose to stay away from the cities. In Singapore we can't.
