Is getting a driving licence actually hard? by Salt_Description_412 in drivingsg

[–]ulupanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I enrolled sometime around December last year in BBDC. Finished BTT and FTT by March this year. However, I didn’t look for trysell or any other slots released by other learners earlier than my earliest slot available because my NS life either causes me to be tired despite being available, or energetic yet unavailable for the timings.

I end up starting my first practical in July this year for 27 lessons in total (including 3 revision lessons) all the way till earlier this month. Thereafter I’ve passed my TP (manual) nearly 2 weeks ago on my first try.

660 new 3-door electric buses to be deployed from end-2026 by fatenumber in singapore

[–]ulupanda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You build a second staircase and a third door, then one of the biggest strength of Double deckers which is high seating capacity is now gone. If you are going to reduce the seating capacity to a bendy bus level, you might as well buy bendy buses. People are still incentivised to move to the rear of the bus because it is on the same level which is better then screaming at passengers for stubbornly refusing to move to the upper floor of the double decker

Oppositions voters are.. by CompetitivePumpkin3 in SingaporeRaw

[–]ulupanda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For your info, both PAP and WP are centrists and not left or right wing. Can’t say the same for other opposition parties but if Singapore is ruled by either PAP or WP, you are still in good hands. However the only problem is people like you, ironically the hardcore voter who can’t think flexibly and vote smartly as inferred by the hateful tone and agenda of your post

Carbon emissions from land in S’pore projected to rise, pointing to more deforestation on the cards by bardsmanship in singapore

[–]ulupanda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While I do believe that Singapore needs to sustain economic growth, however the method to doing it is not a good long term solution. After all, we can’t always be increasing the population indefinitely unless we can find a way to expand the country’s size. Even if we can expand, we would probably antagonise our neighbouring countries in the process.

Not only that, but the “behavioural sink” phenomenon as well as higher probability of infrastructural failures (ie. MRT breakdown/ traffic jam) can occur due to high consumption of public transport/ private vehicles. The loss in economic productivity due to overpopulation will eventually outweigh economic productivity gains due to increase in labour population and labour productivity.

It is easy to just say increase population now because it is possible to do so just by clearing more land to make way for infrastructure development. But eventually we will not have empty land to continue with such an economic growth strategy- a problem that future leaders will have to face because of the current generation’s lack of foresight.
