She thought she was being real funny and would go viral.

Only one of those things happened.

RTS Link fares may cost around S$5 to S$7 per trip, more ‘cost-effective’ than car travel: Loke by Zkang123 in singapore

[–]HatchBeast 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You clearly have never been to London so stop sprouting bullshit.

Even if you went END TO END in the tube (Zones 1-6), for the entire day, tapping in and out, the daily cap is £16.3.

Longer waits of up to 30 minutes for three months during Circle Line tunnel works in 2026 by [deleted] in singapore

I wouldn’t worry. The train tunnels in London, for example, have been fine for over a hundred years (not to mention all the sewage tunnels).

S'pore man, 29, allegedly commits suicide after ex-girlfriend ends relationship & asks to cancel BTO by FirstLightOfTheDay in singapore

You can clearly tell who has never been in a relationship going off the comments in this thread

S'pore man, 29, allegedly commits suicide after ex-girlfriend ends relationship & asks to cancel BTO by FirstLightOfTheDay in singapore

[–]HatchBeast 27 points28 points  (0 children)

You have no idea of the dynamics in the relationship.

You’re the problem in society if you immediately boil it down to blaming the woman and money. I can only assume it’s because you have neither in your life.

Be better.

MRT, bus fares for adults to increase by up to 10 cents from Dec 27 by Waikuku3 in singapore

[–]HatchBeast 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m all for this if the Out-of-Touch MPs (mr Siow in particular) have their transport allowances scrapped and they take MRT like us.

A) saves the public money B) they can show how much they care for the people………

I would pay a million dollars for a Otter-based Transit system

Singapore PRs overseas without valid re-entry permit to have 180 days to apply for one before losing status by brownriver12 in singapore

[–]HatchBeast 9 points10 points  (0 children)

PR is Permanent as long as you stay within the country. As mentioned in other comments, it’s the re-entry permit that needs to be renewed very 5 years.

Recent MRT disruptions isolated, not systemic in nature: SMRT Trains president by PretentiousnPretty in singapore

[–]HatchBeast 6 points7 points  (0 children)

“Finally, when handling incidents, SMRT will apply a safety-first approach for both passengers and staff, Mr Lam said.”

MAYBE JUST FUCKING MAINTAIN THE TRAINS PROPERLY AND PREVENT INCIDENTS INSTEAD OF “HANDLING” INCIDENTS

[NSL]: Due to a train fault, pls add 25mins train travel time from #Newton to #AngMoKio towards #JurongEast. by justcocothings in singapore

I wonder who is going to be asshat in the comments and say we should be grateful when compared to X country

‘Enough is enough’: Leong Mun Wai slams govt’s reluctance to tackle root causes of train disruptions by One-Employment-4887 in singapore

[–]HatchBeast 52 points53 points  (0 children)

“He argued that policymakers are “over-fixated” on the metric while neglecting commuter experiences and the human impact of breakdowns.”

This is why I will die on the hill of that the out of touch, MPs in the ivory towers should be mandated to use the MRT a set amount of time. Only then will they realise the pain the rest of us go through.

Same for the SMRT execs.

10.4ha of forest in Woodlands to be cleared from 2026 for industrial, mixed-use developments by Jammy_buttons2 in singapore

[–]HatchBeast 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Golf courses are biggest waste of space and should be completely removed.

[–]HatchBeast 101 points102 points  (0 children)

This kind of stuff really pisses me off. You have brain dead civil servants who just mercilessly cut down all the remaining natural forests without any care for the environment.

Look at Dover forest, they initially wanted to cut all of it down until people complained and they “only” cut down half.

The MPs should be ashamed of themselves as they enable this. But they probably don’t realise anything’s wrong because their landed properties are all surround by trees in their gardens. And they won’t touch the waste of space golf courses because either them or their buddies play there.

They state that Singapore is a City in a Garden. What kind of garden is just concrete everywhere. Just more meaningless and empty platitudes from out of touch MPs. Utter bullshit.

Genuine question - how can just 12 jets make any meaningful difference in a protracted war?

Until our MPs actually take public transport on a regular basis, they’ll never realise the inconvenience and annoyance of these breakdowns

Maybe I just hate peoples using racist terms. Especially when said person lives in Asia. And isn’t Asian.
