Nature is best. Man made attractions pale in comparison. A hike to bukit timah hill, a walk at sungei buloh is much better than a trip to JewelMy most memorable school excursion was to JB and Kukup.
negligible. that is why the pap must create opportunities for big bill contract maintenance to reward cronies. The bigger the bill, the better it is for papHow much did it cost to maintain the former outdoor carpark just outside Terminal 1?
man made attractions cant replicate nature. Look at Jurong Bird Park and compare it to lorikeet feeding at Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary
Built at a cost of $1.7B and millions for maintenance every month, what is unique at Jewel. What does Jewel provide that we cant get at other shopping malls? Why spend so much tax payers' money? It is sinful when so many old and sick people are hungry and poor
you missed the point. Jewel was built not for the comfort or to serve Singaporeans. Jewel was built so that money can be made by cronies
Jewel is a big and expensive holeMBS = small hole.
Jewel = big hole.
Do you like small hole or big hole?

that was the whole point. sinkies are too predictable with their behaviors. pappies, developers and cronies can see thru’ sinkies and are sexactly doing the “right” stuff to serve sinkies’ demands and penchant for something new. after 6.9 years it’ll becum “old” and something new like the lake district in jurong or forest city in tengah will arise from dirt to offer newness again. eventually most cemeteries will be exhumed to make way for sinkies’ need to smell new paint and eat “new” (sometimes old) shit.
wrong. all these show that the pap is too predictable. they build grandiose infrastructure using singaporeans' money to reward cronies. more and more singaporeans are waking up and realise that Jewel and similar infrastructures were built not for Singaporeans but to make money for cronies. This pap's modus operandi will come back to haunt pap at the next GE.

Dread to think, a bench at a bus stop cost 1.5k, a Dust Bin Dump cost 800k, to hold the youth Olympic cost 300 million, to maintained Garden by the Bay is 100 million, walk way shelters also cost millions, all hearsay or true? Jewel 1.7 B, tos up coming projects shld hit trillions.

They see them as infrastructure spending, and facilities for collecting rent and tourism dollars.
Do you know how much GBTB and Sports Hub are bleeding annually?
The same will be for Jewel when the novelty wears off after the first 3yrs. It will be an expensive white elephant to upkeep.
Just look at the many retail malls in SG...i12, Bedok Point, Kinex, Big Box, White Sands, etc. The same will befall Jewel in time to come
Being careful and thrifty when spending public money are not in PAP's vocabulary. The pap ministers spend Singaporeans money like tap water. That's why the pap keeos increasing taxes and levies. The more they collect, the more they spend. The more they spend, the more they have to collect. This is the bane of SG...LHL and HSK are not thrifty when spending Singaporeans' money

The pap claims that Jewel is funded by the private joint-venture company set up by CAG and CapitaMalls Asia. But dont be deceived by pap's claim. Go deeper and check who owns CAG and CapitalMalls Asia. Once you are clear on that, you will know that Jewel is funded by Singaporean tax payers' money

This is the problem with the pap. Increased spending will result in demand for more money. If the pap continues to pay $1.5k each for bus benches, $800k for a dust bin centre, $400k for a campaign to name Marine Bay as "Marine Bay", $1.03B to build a big garden, $1B for a Sports Hub which is now a white elephant, $1.7B for a retail mall. losses at Temasek Holdings, of course PAP will need more money.
Traditional financial wisdom dictates that cutting down on wastage and unnecessary expenditure will mean controlled spending and no need to increase taxes. Cut down on spending like buying F35s when our F15s and F16s are more than enough for the next 20yrs or more. Buy when needed not waste

Mdm Lee Bee Wah will violently object to your statement. Ah Gong saves hard for the rainy days. Yet dsspite the hard work , he still give generously to his grandchildren. You siao gi Lang don’t know how to appreciate the patient care of Ah Gong for all his children and grandchildren .
Lee Bee Wah is a siao charbo who fleeces on singaporeans and yet has publicly showed her arrogance, greed and stupidity. We leave such arrogant people to face heaven's wrath. Karma has befallen her. Check out on what is happening to her. Unless she repents and asks for forgiveness, I fear for her
