Waiting for Permission

Four young men - American, French, Indonesian and Singaporean were shipwrecked on an island. The local girls were friendly.

After a while, the American, French and Indonesian found their partners. The Singaporean was waiting for permission from his boss back in Singapore.

Waiting to be introduced

An Englishman, an Irishman, a Scotsman and an American, hitherto complete strangers to each other, were shipwrecked on a desert island. The natives were friendly and in a short time the American was doing show business, the Scot was running a store, the Irishman was training an army, while the Englishman was waiting to be introduced.

Wasteful competition

SMRT offers a free bus ride from Dhoby Ghaut station to Chinatown on Sundays and Public Holidays.

Why? I seems to be SMRT's way of diverting passengers from their competitor (ComfortDelgro) which operates the North East Line serving Chinatown.

Why is SMRT so wasteful, in creating unnecessary capacity? It will be better for SMRT to save this expenditure and reduce the train fares for their customers.

I hope that the Public Transport Council will disallow SMRT from raising their train fares, if they can afford to be wasteful.

Disembarking the MRT train

The passenger has to disembark the MRT train using the right or left door, depending on the station. Although I am a regular traveller, I have to look out of the windows to see which side has the platform.

It will be useful for the train to display a green light on the door that will open at the next station. This helps the passenger to get ready to use the right door.
