It was reported as part of international news (surprisingly not entertainment news) throughout the day on my local radio in Canada!

What to do Design and built by Mitshubitshi Japan but mostly work or installation done by Ah Neh from India. Don't know anything about the Mechanical/Electrical they just follow order like tighten this, connect here(do this do that).
That is what I have encounter with many of them. But they are really hard working and follow order but lack of knowledge.

Re: Over 100 people trapped in Singapore Flyer

ok la, just a small incident, nothing compare to the countless lost of vital information by the british govt in the past years..or the shoe throwing drama at the world's powerful figure, or the dramatic events happening in thailand, or the mistakes caused by Australian Federal Police (AFP) against Indian born doctor Dr Mohammed Haneef, that his mobile phone SIM card was found at the scene of a British car bombing, was wrong.
Just a fly wheel stuck for 6 hrs, what is so dramatic?

Oh..My friend, there is a difference..

Our leader likes to brag endlessly about political leaders here being the best and the brightest and consequently they deserve the astronomical amount of salary.

As the peasants are being constantly reminded that the leaders are the best and the brightest, logically the peasants expect our leaders to be the most capable and invincible.

So... is it not logical for people to clap as and when there is a slightest screw up?

No other leaders of foreign countries brag and boast about themselves the way the leaders here do..as they need not do so in order to justify their salary.

There are indeed differences....first all the events i stated were created by the politicians, and for the politicians...
the recent landslide in KL was a good example how corrupted malaysian ministers are....and how abt mr Najib...
did u see any of murder linked to sing MPs? are there any deeds done by sing govt that causes a dip in tourism? or causes bankruptcy like Iceland?
Unless the SIngapore Flyer was designed, build, and erected by the hands of the MPs, then they will be critised...
Furthermore, this incident is nothing compared to the CEOs of many USA banks that single handlely wipe off billions of dollars and costs worldwide suffering...
just a slight screw up can have u stand up and applaused...this shows that u r narrow minded, selfish and lack of motivation to improve...everyone must learn from mistake..if everyone is like u, only watch and laughed at the smallest problem, nothing will be done....just like the many warnings been inform but was ignored or probably laughed at, that causes the tragedy in KL.

Ha Ha. Some MP proudly described Spore Inc as being run like a corporation. So very true, Corporations don't take responsibility for their actions, this is true in Spore or US. We can only speculate Temasek losses because its a state secret.

If you think Temasek losses is nothing, consider the impact of these losses: you are now paying more for utilies, public transport, etc AND you'll probably NEVER get your CPF out unless you live into your 80's. :rolleyes:

Reports big Malaysian familiess trapped in the capsules, but later continued to visit tourist attractions like Zoo and Bird Park. Why do so many Malaysians find Singapore so fascinating? Is it because Malaysian attractions do not appeal to them?

the flyer has gone thru these:

1) turning the wrong way
2) turning the other way
3) stopped

but have not actually come crashing down yet.

Free New Year's Eve concert planned at Singapore Flyer
By Dominique Loh, Channel NewsAsia | Posted: 27 December 2008 2037 hrs

SINGAPORE: The Singapore Flyer observation wheel may be closed but New Year partying will still go on, at least for one of the tenants at the tourist attraction.

According to the observation wheel operator, the newest tenant "Love The World" is staging a free concert.

It is hoped the New Year's Eve party will help draw in the crowds.

Business has been affected since the wheel's closure.

The operator says it is coming up with proposals to help its tenants tide over the closure period.

The Singapore Flyer suspended operations after an incident on Tuesday stranded scores of people in mid-air for nearly seven hours.

A technical malfunction had started a small fire, triggering a power outage and grinding the wheel to a halt while 173 visitors were inside the Flyer's enclosed cabins.

Some were rescued to the ground after they were winched down using ropes while others were able to walk out of the cabins after the Flyer resumed rotating.

Singapore Flyer is currently investigating the actual cause of the incident.

This process involves the wheel's builder, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and the Police.

Re: Over 100 people trapped in Singapore Flyer

you should be glad the Mumbai terrorist attacks was not the work of Mas selamat Kastari.

in fact when I saw the attacks first came on CNN, I was hoping that MSK was behind it all.

Because Malaysian 'attractions" are operating like our now bankrupt "theme parks" like Haw Par Villa and die already Sentosa. Entrance fee, go 1 attraction, 1 fee. Go another attraction in same compound, more fee!

It is already explained why over a small incident, we will stand up and applaud. The govt is paying themselves megadollars and we got no say in it. So this is our only way to ease the frustration.

We tried voting them out but 66.6% of the motherfuckers here voted them in.

Got many sinners in the US lah

US Oil companies getting subsidies, the big 3 US car companies, AIG, ...

Many american have a low opinion of the overpaid amercian executives

Our "bunch" of Spore bankers is a small group consisting of the Lee family & their yes men/women. If you have a dissenting view to the Lees, you are likely to be unemployed.

They created the mess but the worker bees will pay. :rolleyes:
