I agree.

Qn 9 should be 'B'

Qn17, 'C'

Can someone post an accurate answer?

Is that a rhetorical question?

Pity the drivers then. They'll have to breathe so much B.O. that it'll be a wonder not to get involved in an accident.

I can't vote since I'm 16

let's say the train behind has a brake problem (or sth like that) then how?

Even at 6 carraiges, if the last unit develops a braking problem, the result would still be similar.

less seats on trains might arouse more complaints from more people. even if they can pack more passengers in, they are buying new trains soon. they can just make trains come at a 1 minute frequency. i don't believe trains can be very packed, during peak hours, coming at 1 minute, even at high passenger flow city hall mrt. most passengers can still sit down and the trains will still be rather packed, but not so bad.

Apparently you don't know how greedy these pigs are...

Trains in 1 minute frequency >>> More drivers needed >>> More driver = More $$$ spent >>> Output of $$$ becomes high = Profits low.

cheaper and easier to rip seat out when all u want is to ferry more people. rather then putting more train and work force to the track to achieve the same effect.

You should go look at Hong Kong's transport system.

This is preposterous. Like the TS, I agree that increasing the frequency is the only viable option. It simply will not do to have more people standing.

Trains on the North-East Line are unaffected by this change, which the Land Transport Authority (LTA) says aims to give standing commuters more space.

The intention is not to fit more people on the train, it added.

I had to lol at this.

Seriously, if you remove the seats >>> More people can enter train >>> More people enter = more people standing >>> More people fitted on the train >>> Something you said would not happen.

Bunch of idiots.

That's good to hear. So how much did you get for this paper?

Yes, it takes more than one man to make such a dream work....

...it actually takes two: MM Lee and PM Lee.

My sentiments exactly.

...but they failed...

It will solve itself after a while.

Did the 'cracking' happen immediately after the visit to the dentist or were they two seperate things in two different time intervals? I'm guessing that some of the lubricant between the jaw joints are lacking and thus results in this peculiar sound. However, if you experience no pain, then it probably means the two bone joints still haven't touched each other.

I recommend you drink more water. Give the thing a few days before taking yourself to a clinic.

I think this is so due to the protective nature of our government. They use the one and only Mediacorp extensively to get their ideas across. This results in partially hidden news topics or some more important global concerns not being reported. This also offers a highly biased viewpoint as all new agencies are directly under state control.

what image will it give to our tourism industry. what spotlight will it put singapore under.

we cant afford to have a 20storeys unfinished hotel built and dangling in the air.

What we can't have is an incompetent government who allowed an unfinished hotel to be 'dangling in the air' because they decided to ignore petitions and views given by the locals.

Look what a hellhole they've gotten themselves into... again.

hello, may i know what tax u are paying for in singapore?

most complaint i hear is

COE, ERP - then dun buy a car if u cant afford it

Tv Licence - , write in to them and say u dont have a tv. U dont need crap local programming. I did not own one when i was in singapore, as i mostly rent movies from DVD to watch on computer

Town council tax - This understandable as they upgade and beautify your area

 

 

 

How about the 7% GST you're paying to supposedly 'help the needy'?

You are not exempted from the TV license as long as you even have a radio at home. Even a radio-enabled handphone counts. You said 'crap local programming', by the way. Another sign why Singapore isn't green-pasture enough.

Can someone please post the accurate answers?

I know some of my answers are wrong. Can someone please kindly post the teacher's solution?
