Is this stifling SMRT's business initiatives?

[G-man]

This arrangement was reported days ahead of the event and repeated on radio. No LTA official listen to news meh? So serious why no objection till event is over? Someone make noise then act to show they are taking action? 'Horse behind cannon'

Like that how to have creativity?

Totally agree. LTA seems to be putting up a show that they are doing something.

Sim: If you need creativity let me know, I will charter my creativity out to you.

As long as they are no changes to the normal service, I don't even think SMRT should need to obtain permission from LTA. They should just need to inform them.

As for the argument as to whether bus or trains cause less inconvenience, I think I should point out that if all goes well, chartering trains cause significantly less inconvenience to the public as compared to buses. In this case, there are going to be a lot of buses on the road at the same time if you charter buses, which causes traffic congestion along the roads. If there is no train breakdown, there is absolutely no congestion or inconvenience at all to the public, except at the two train stations (where the students board and alight)

We should charter everything that can make money?

Including our ministerial service to the countries that need an efficient, clean and bright government?

Great! I prefer yours! :bsmilie:

So your definition of a public event means anyone can join, as long as they have money.

In which case, apparently a special gala dinner held at a top-end restaurant where a seat costs $10,000 is also a public event?

Ha ha. you got me there.

I guess I can't really define it properly in words, but it seems to me the ACS is quite a closed group. Quite different from the marathon or F1. I just can't find the words to describe it.

I guess we just leave it like that. Sorry.

Just curious: did ACS(I) need to get MOE permission to get the whole school not to have classes and instead go support their team? Did they get the parents' consent also?

Ha ha ha, you admit defeat. Edutilos always have superior intelligence and logic. I will never challenge him. :sweat:

Nevertheless, I think your point is still valid.
Also, SMRT has already admitted that they are wrong. Organizations just have to learn and move on. Doing the wrong thing is not about creativity, otherwise we should give awards to the biggest or most imaginative criminals.

ACS is an independent school..

BUt don't you like this kind of banter? At least we have a reason justifying our opinion, and have the chance to see from other point of view, and it's justification. Not just some statement followed with the famous internet acronym that means laughing.

Yes I like the banter, it is just for fun for me. But you are really cool about this. People often find it hard to lose an argument. Lol.

The sole purpose of some people in the forum is to win arguments. :bsmilie:

This is just to demonstrate to all civil servants that Temasek companies are Bo Cheng Hu.

Why not? It makes business sense.

This is call productivity. Use your resources to the fullest.
