Are u happy now ? U turn on Simply Go card. What a total waste of money. Trying to fix something that is not broken.

Sometime is no choice lor
Want to stay in this red dot, we just have to be ahead of others regardless of the reasons to survive.

A very vaccinated reply.

My only question is this: What was Iswaran’s role in this SimplyGo fiasco?

 

[JohnTan]

So later on...the simply Go will still be implemented? And the whole hoo haa will return?

It's just old farts who are stuck in the past that are kicking up the fuss. Most of us tech savvy people are already using our phones or watches to pay for our purchases, including for public transport.

Correct, should actually strengthen status quo of card-based transaction and delink to App instead. Everything also link to app and worse to bank cards are the reason why so many people tio scammed.

Sooner or later scammers are going to exploit some vulnerabilities in SimplyGo app to bleed your bank account dry esp. for those who link to their bank cards, LOL, then the PCB PAP-Gov will start to blame users error again, then claim credit with new measures , all to prepare for next GE, NBCB.

In life, this mantra always prevails...

A bloated govt will always be infested with jiakliaobees, more pigs feeding at the trough.

And when there are too many jiakliaobees leeching off taxpayer money, they will constantly invent new nonsense to justify their continued existence as jiakliaobees. Refer to UNESCO hawker culture, Nutri-grade, SimplyGo etc. Sometimes (not always), their projects dovetail with whatever overarching objective the ones at the top are after e.g. anti-carbon 'sustainability' policy.

Sinkieland's public sector should be trimmed by around 80%.

Takes a few seconds because nothing is stored natively, you have to retrieve everything from a remote database.

In other words, a shitty system designed by nincompoops. Or maybe that's part of the plan, tether everyone to the 'grid' so you can advance your 'smart nation' delusions.

for “rapid” transit near-instant info feedback requirements will create compounding issues as it needs to move millions of passengers per minute. passengers need to know their balances anyway to top up accounts and fares per trip to ensure they are not overcharged. since elderly sinkies are not used to autopay from bank account to transit account, they need to constantly and instantaneously check (part of ocd and fear of scams). if info feedback is not within 6.9 ms the entire gate system in transit will have long waiting queues and massive commotion and chaos in commute.

GST increase isn't the worst thing, it can be at the very least tolerable depending on other variables... it's the carbon tax which is unforgivable.

It's blatant robbery based on a lie, to appease their anti-carbon globalist masters in Davos. You know, that World Economic Forum crowd that your keling onglai president is talking to now.

Why don’t u go up to the Yakult HQ and scold the bastards who removed straws to save money but still use plastic for the container and wrapper? Lol

S Iswaran's role is to Simply pass Go and collect $200
He thought he had a Monopoly on race tickets, concert tickets, football tickets
But then he got greedy, drew a Community Chest/Chance card and ended up with:
"Go Directly to Jail. Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200."

Iswaran took 7 years to take $380 worth of football and concert tickets. LTA takes less than 7 weeks to spend $40m.

 

[birdie69]

So who's footing the $40 million bill? Why, of course its the commuters. Get ready for a few more rounds of ownself-recommend-ownself fare hikes.

Dumb sinkies voted for this. So please do not complain.

LTA might want to claim the $40m from the IT vendor.
Who is the IT vendor doing the SimplyGo project?

All the fuckers in charge of public transport should be jailed

Should be run over by MRT, LRT, heavy trucks and etc ...

 

[Scrooball (clone)]

I am surprised no one got fired for this fiasco. The balless LTA don’t even have the guts to get a spokesperson to come out and explain their stand. All these career civil serpents are just hanging on to their iron rice bowls and trying not to rock the boat.

Would be interesting to find out which vendor was that.

 

[laksaboy]

Probably not much, SimplyGo happened before he was in charge.

 

[Franjipani]

was it ongyekung rubbish during his brief spell as transport minister?
