Responses of some Singaporeans….

In London, Sydney and every where else, there are train disruptions

happening and you don’t see them reacting like this! Take it easy people! There is no need to

exaggerate at all.- Comment from Peter Chang, theonlinecitizen.com

Responses of some Singaporeans….

Train disruptions are pretty common in the London Tube, Canadian subway, etc…

Singaporeans are pampered. Technical glitches will surface after the newness is over several

years later. Just take it in our strides. This is not a stalling aircraft in mid-air.
