Senior Citizens of Singapore to be Bestowed the Ability to Manipulate the Flow of Time
Friday, October 13, 2006
LTA is currently working on implementing a card that when carried on a senior citizen, will allow for the traffic lights to detect the presence of this card and actually extend the length of time in which the green man blinks by 2-6 seconds. This will give the Senior Citizens more time to cross the road. It's like they can now go into bullet time. Whoa`
Now if you've ever walked in the underpass of Bedok MRT station, you would realise one thing. There is absolutely no reception there at all. None. Zip. Nada.
Does any of you even begin to comprehend the gravity of the situation!?
The underpass doubles up as a bomb shelter. And so I was walking through the underpass and it struck me. F**king Hell! If Bedok was being bombed and I wanted to call my girlfriend and say my last goodbyes.. it's not going to happen! There's no reception where I'm hiding. I can see it now, 300 people hiding underneath the bomb shelter/underpass trying desperately to call their love ones to say their goodbyes. But alas they were defeated by the fact that Singaporean Service Providers were unable to provide them network coverage! Oh the shame! Only the cruelest of luck would dictate that despite the 99% island wide network coverage, the 1% would include the bomb shelter of Bedok. These 300 men, women and children would die regretful deaths and their souls would not be able to travel to a better place. They'd haunt the underpass for the rest of eternity forever trying to make their outgoing calls. And on cold nights, people walking through the tunnel would be able to hear the faint ethereal beeps of failed outgoing calls of no reception echo achingly off the walls of the bomb shelter that would forever be their prison.
