What the failed actor is trying to say, which he cannot is better articulated below

As for the useless 60 and 70 year old experts who talk rubbish about lifts lasting up 28 years, what was not said which would have also affected how you cheat properly when buying substandard lifts is how often a lift is used daily and the total distance travelled. That will give you the possible wear and tear that could have accumulated. It is possible for an intensively used lift to have an overhaul under 10 years. Our Hyundai taxis here clock more mileage than a car in 10 years. I pity the idiots who buy second hand in a foreign country, basically a defacto scrapped taxi. That should also explain to you why some jokers do not bother to maintain the taxis and use third rated tires that can make a mercedes taxi feel like a qq.
As a real technocrat, we should be hearing what a typical lift goes through in terms of a hdb usage, what is the recommended usage for the lifts and whether the maintenance or overhaul is necessary. Installing logs for each lift that is fed back to a centralized monitoring system is better than installing millions of CCTVs that cannot spot Al Qaida coming in out of the rock without of incompetent police knowing.
