It is only natural that ones that approved plans that waste lots of public fund and create a big mess are held accountable.

Please don't
My neighbor below bought some furniture early this year Instead of asking town council for help They simply just put it outside the lift on their level and mine I have to inform the town council for help to remove them after a week Cant imagine if they just leave their household rubbish there |

No doubt we r throwing away too many stuff. It is correct to reduce food wastage, to reduce bulky items, to reduce plastic rubbish littering, to improve soil quality, to enforce proper foam box disposal. It is not easy, i hope to see concrete plan that is executed from a-z. This is not just a local issue but a worldwide issue. I think becoming more serious since china no longer recieved money for importing wastes.

This is gg to be quite tricky. Quote:
"Imposing a charge or ban on disposable plastic bags and substituting them with other types of disposable bags is unlikely to improve environmental outcomes," said Dr Amy Khor, Senior Minister of State for the Environment and Water Resources. She went on to say, we incinerate. Come on! It takes energy to produce, and dispose, and burning is also harmful to ozone. Instead of instructing her ministry to educate the public, she gave such a flabbergast reply. Quote:

On our no longer clean country, long ago, before this current so called 3G gov, streets are swept regularly (daily even), thus we barely see much dead leaves. NOW, it seems like, street cleaning is weekly. Everywhere we turn, dead leaves.... What happened to the Clean And Green City we were once accustomed with? NO MORE! Cost cutting by appointing the cheapest contractor, who only does cleaning once a week? Even drain covers along the roads, are choke and I had feedback several times till i give up! HOPELESS! Bicycle sharing, to be fair, it is a good scheme, probably they expect users to be civil about it, but we have very little civic consciousness here. Users who abused the system are ANIMALS! ILL Educated individuals abuses such good system, that tax payers needs to pay for the construction of parking bays around the country. |

Bike sharing failure is not just about inconsiderate users that threw the bikes everywhere. There is some supply and demand issue from the beginning, also the infrastructures adequate to support lots of bikes on the road and parking. Last edited by millenium; 20-03-2019 at 03:20 PM. |

I actually think bike sharing is a great idea.
We got to look at ourselves honestly. Why do we all need legislation for anything to work ? I think the demand for bikes is huge, which is why bikes are all over the place. It is spilled onto the roads itself. On parking lots meant for cars. It is strewn all over the grass patch. Bikes are so convenient. People take from mrt stations, ride to their workplace. And then scatter them all over the place. And now, they have no bikes. They walk. |

Hahaha. Maybe the root of the problems are we are over populated.
I am biased as i do not use those bikes, they cant be used to climb the slopes in my estate is one reason. By the way, so the bike companies pull out because they cannot ensure bikes are put at designated areas, but the demand is very big? Is that what u are saying? |

If you can select a population and they're educated and they're properly brought up, then you don't have to use too much of the stick because they would already have been trained. It's like with dogs. You train it in a proper way from small. It will know that it's got to leave, go outside to pee and to defecate. No, we are not that kind of society. We had to train adult dogs who even today deliberately urinate in the lifts. It is, indeed, like dogs! When humans are given the liberty to be civil about things, some behave like dogs (worst than dogs) and needs to be trained. The others who are civil, too bad, those dogs just have to ruin things.

Demand is definitely there. How many of us have the space to keep a bike at home? Not everyone. However, with bike sharing, it allows people to commute short distance, without needing to own a bike. It was so heavily used to some extend. Now, with the limitations, these companies are unlikely going to make much money out of the whole scheme. ---------------------- Why does car sharing seems to work better? Cars are much more costly to hire, and must be dock back to designated place. So, those users of car sharing schemes, are less likely to abuse. They are more educated, more civil. |
