I have a dream...Kishore Mahbubani...

making public transport private works in theory to ensure efficiency - there's no better form of accountability than the bottom line. but this has gotten out of control and the imperative of the bottom line has trumped public good. for this i put the blame squarely on the transport regulators for not putting the public's interests first.

What Kishore is suggesting is ideal but it involves major paradigm shifts, and the best way of shifting paradigms has been to lead by example.

which of our leaders will take up the challenge?

The public transit system is subsidized everywhere except in sinkapore where it is expected to be profitable.
Public transit saves money as it reduces the need to build more roads to accommodate the increase in cars. It reduces pollution, etcetra.
The PAP is again playing a two-faced game ...it wants the money generated by car ownership. It collects more than it spends on public transportation. So, the state of the public transit is not of concern until sinkees wallop the government.

the ideals espoused are not bad and very progressive, especially on electric cars and car sharing. zip cars are everywhere now in the bay area, but the program requires a conscientious and considerate population. same with bike sharing. it's taking off, and it will continue to expand to all other cities. the problem lies with a minority of gangs, thugs and criminals who exploit the programs and steal these assets for their own ill gotten gains.

that is a simple problem of enforcement. if the old PAP can clean up the gangsters, then it'll be rather pathetic if the new PAP can't stop a bunch of anti-social bike thieves

calling people scumbags is easy
labeling people cock-suckers is utterly foolish
you can't even hold a candle to these people
only hiding behind stinky panties
peppering with mindless obscenities
that's your mindless and vulgar specialties

Under the current ruling party of Sinkieland, the less mortals have no time to dream.

It was not the regulators' fault. All comes down to old man and son. In the 80s after seeing Thatcherism working in the UK, both father and son became obsessed with ensuring public sector cost is minimized, to squeeze out cost efficiency in the overall economy. Privatization was the catchphrase. That's why you see so many of SAF non combat functions privatized, such as cookhouse, logistics etc.

The whole campaign continued on auto mode and went overboard, resulting in today's problems in housing transport etc. sounds just like the stop at two campaign.

yes privatization became the monster that caused prices to escalate out of control. it was a cunning plan to de-politicize price increases in public services.

the regulators were given KPIs by the old man and son, but if they had enough moral courage they could have spoken out for the people instead of por lum pah.
