Saw this very unpleasant article on asiaone and I believe it would have appeared in a few more places. The person whom post the article was trying to tell netizens that car owners should stop complaining abt driving costs in SG. Such as the hike in petrol and ERP charges.. But the way he sound towards the end really piss me off..
"Many Singaporean motorists, including myself, purchase a car for convenience, and if we can well afford it, we should not be complaining about parking rates and other costs of maintaining a vehicle."
I do feel he's trying to simply say "Not rich dun drive la.. stop grumbling.."
Has he ever wondered who these complaints really came from?
Apart from the miser minority whom drive a car to feel a lift in status, the real complaints and victims are the people who has to survive on driving, private bus drivers, delivery ppl and taxi drivers perhaps..
You think they hav a choice when it comes to petrol and ERP increment? they lan lan hav to drive and suffer, all just for the family, making ends meet. Not like what the write says, "..we should not be complaining about parking rates and other costs of maintaining a vehicle.." They dun wan to maintain a vehicle.. but do they have a choice? NO!!!
You better not post another bladdy article complaing ur kids' school bus increase their fee again..
