1.) Trains are not designed to cater for 5million, thanks to MIW for opening floodgates
2.) Hiring Mgr for SMRT CEO should be responsible. What does a former DFS VP knows about transport? Transport is not like selling perfume or handbags @ DFS.
How does a ex-chief of navy becomes a Minister of Transport? They believe its their management skills that is important. Mr Khaw a doctor by profession can become National Development minister.
Ministers will rely on perm sec to run the show for them. How many ministers are really of substance? They are either former military men or linked via spiderweb.
Best joke - an engineer can actually became CEO of investment firm, what happened after that? So many failed investments. Paying them heaps to lose money, and a reply 'i have no regrets'

There's a Chinese saying 解铃还须系铃人
Lim will be a better option. MBT has a bad history record in messing up in HDB and transport.
