I was told some NEA employees, those not issued, are jealous because some of those staff brought the bike home. Just like their personal possession.

I hav a Brompton. 2.2k worth it onot...depend on individual...build quality is excellent coz it's hand build in UK. Folded size is best among all folding bike...fold neatly into a small sq block with no protruding parts...great for putting into a car boot...seat post extend and double as handle to push the fold bike around...get a clip on bag n double as a super mart cart...

But moi dun see any of these features necessary for park warden...unless some staff wanna bring it home for personal use...lidat then diff story lah...

Oi! You've gone mad or what? You are supposed to say it's an excellent buy!

Only peeps like us can criticise the PAP.

Wouldn't a mountain bike be more feasible considering it can cover more types of site. If they buy a $220 mountain bike, 1 year throw one away, they can use for 10 years without needing any warranty.

Unless these $2200 bikes are bought for NEA's higher ranking officers who owns a car, drive to sites, and are walking too slow (or lazy to walk) on good beaten paths, I really don't see the point of getting this type of bike. How much productivity can it boost? Does it boost more productivity or more of their ego? Why particularly 16 inch wheels anyway?

What do you think?

Fucking expensive for bicycles serving such purposes. :oIo: Many years ago when i decided to stop cycling, i sold my carbon frame road bike with Dura-Ace and Ultegra components for about half of what they are paying for each of them.

You know how govt/public sector institutions work.

If you don't spend the money, next time you'll be given less money for your budget.

100% agree with you that mountain bike will be more feasible cause it can cover different terrain . it will be better if its electrical mountain bike .

Now must investigate NEA for corruption.
Must check all gov department spending because is tax payer money.
If private company hack care.

Time of the year may have played a role here. If FY is ending and you are left with lots to spend, better spend. Coz your budget the following year will be affected if there's a huge surplus the previous FY.

Nparks patrol around Pulau Ubin, a while back we saw a member public perched like a monkey on a foldable bike with small wheels trying to balance himself while going downhill. Warn him its too dangerous given the fact lives have been lost before doing that Purchase of unsuitable bikes at high prices is not acceptable in my book.

Look at the fat pampered useless things of NEA, Segway is tested and even used in China. What you think our losers get of bicycle can fight meh? With segway they can a getaway to call police. Cheaper some more. BTW, it is a known fact that the predecessor to NEA had many officers asking for ang pows from hawkers. So you go figure.
