For sure, this generation will see the MRT fully operational.
However, NOTHING is forever....
So long as there is peace & stability, Humanity WILL progress & evolve..,THE BEST IS YET TO COME.
Take for example the home computer. IBM in the 70s laughed that computers would be reduced to the size of a book. Today, even wrist watches has the ability to perform as computer.
Mass Rapid Rail systems are touted as the fastest transportation network for commuters. Yet there exists hi speed rail & even evolutionary Tesla Hyperloop.
The only constant in life is change, thru tech to make life better & faster for Humankind productivity & recreation. Today's MRT system ultimately will need maintenance, & eventually become costly to newer tech & be REPLACED by better systems, or land USE for more lucrative reasons to enhance revenues for better govt social expenditure for citizens.
Do share in the bold future by our visionary but hardworking founding & forefathers whom gave us our todays. I still remember the drawing of a mere child in a national art contest whereby this inspired child drew & envisioned a future of Singapore with MRT thru housing estates when NONE existed back then....
Nothing, absolutely nothing will ever come easily, but as long as there is a vision, an inspiration, along with pragmatism & hardwork, to overcome teething & problems, nothing is impossible to elevate lives....
Thus what is 'forever' in our ever evolving social & landscapes? The best,,,,is ,,,,yet,,,to,,,come,,,.
