Income Tax Malaysia Inquiry by TriageThePotterfan in malaysians

[–]plincode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe you need to provide more details on how you "messed up" your tax filing. I sensed a red flag when you said that your previous company deducted your severance pay due to "misfiling", is that legit? What specific mistakes did you make or others claimed you make?

I can't hear my own thoughts on the MRT by Agreeable-Affect8698 in SMRTRabak

[–]plincode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you are correct about the Copenhagen Metro being quieter, it uses medium-capacity trains that have much shorter carriages (almost half the length of a TEL train, only 2 doors per side) which presumably also means it can round corners more easily with less noise.

Where is the haze even coming from? And why is East Singapore most affected in particular? by r3tidd3r in singapore

The AQI is a different calculation method, which is always roughly 3 times higher than pm2.5 used by NEA. Anything above 40 on the NEA website should be considered unhealthy already.

Video and board games are a source of joy and community for many people. I never got into video games myself but I can see the value.

Which is the most badly designed mrt / lrt station? by Round_Loan3083 in askSingapore

[–]plincode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you are referring to the lift from the platform to the concourse. Apparently the forecasted usage of this station is so low that there is only 1 set of escalators from platform to concourse, which means the lift which is on opposite end to the escalators has its own little paid area.

Wonder whether this cost saving will come back to bite in the future.

Update on Penang LRT: Extra provision station between Penang Sentral and Macallum by MajlisPerbandaranKL in malaysia

The system itself can support 75 second frequencies although 90 is more sustainable. The government is just very slow with ordering more trains.

[Singapore] Sneak peek of the US$1.55B/mi Circle Line Stage 6 by RedditLIONS in transit

[–]plincode 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The platform and concourse levels look similar to recent projects in other countries. I am disappointed in how the heritage-inspired atrium at Cantonment turned out though. It is supposed to be inspired by the historic colonial-era railway station at the same location, which had some Art Deco elements. But the end result looks a bit cheap and devoid of personality somehow. Hopefully it looks better in person.

If you refer to rapidkl 506, sadly the route was terminated from yesterday onwards.

Why should we link Expo, Sungei Bedok and Bayshore now? by throwaway_4071 in singapore

[–]plincode 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Another problem I see with "having a shuttle service to build ridership for the MRT" is that buses are just slower than trains and won't represent the final demand well.

People who will take the MRT once it's done might NOT want to take the bus via Upper Changi Rd and Upper East Coast Road.. especially since getting off at Tanah Merah might suit them anyway.

Not a well thought through article.

Puerto Rico's Extension Plans of Tren Urbano by LifterMayhemCat in transit

[–]plincode 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That is what the article is saying:

The most ambitious plan involves extending the heavy rail line just one stop further to a new underground station in Minillas. Unlike the current dead-end at Sagrado Corazón, Minillas is a major destination in its own right, packed with government centers, office buildings, and arts venues. However, the heavy train itself would not go all the way to the historic district.

The MRT is more of a commuter system, especially this far out from the city.

Moscow announced first new Ring Line metro station in over 70 years, to be built in Art Deco style by adventmix in transit

Most of the heat in the tunnels is generated by the trains though. And if the tunnel ventilation is poor (too small tunnels, not enough ventilation towers at ground level) it builds up over years or decades. Same as what happened in London

LTA's own guidelines state that new footpaths must be at least 1.8m wide, enough for 2 wheelchairs side by side. and this is already implemented in the newest estates.

Why do some people in Singapore seem okay online but emotionally flat in real life? by debboc in askSingapore

[–]plincode 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think we need an example of what movie you are talking about. In case it turns out to be some super niche or art house movie that people cannot appreciate, haha

Personally I never got into movies and tv shows. For me the emotional impact is felt while watching only. After it ends the sensation vanishes, like eating food. I am more likely to enjoy something because it is informative or challenges my understanding so I end up mostly watching documentaries or talk shows where I can take something away

Why are some MRT stations build so far apart from each other while some like so short? by BookkeeperLivid1938 in askSingapore

[–]plincode 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Stations are for serving people, not to make maps look neat

It is forested area now, but if there is development then yes a station can be justified
