LTA's sincerity and foresight

I actually thought this was authentic the very first time I got it. I was hoping it is because it would really be interesting.

Anyway it turn out to be a hoax. Not an intended one. Just happen that there was this Sec school kid who is very into this kind of stuff. Using his creativity, he extended our current MRT tracks layout. Very neat if you were to ask me.


LTA is also very sincere in their view about this. They are pleased to know about his keen interest in an interesting area such as land transport. Should he want to pursue a career, go and take a look at their job ad.

Riiiigght. Remember people. You could impress many people but you still gotta take a queue number. You can't expect to jump queue with just your interest and talent?!?!

Also highly educated Singaporeans can be easily misled. You almost made me consider an immediate house moving to somewhere near the future Temasek MRT Station. Now imagine realizing only long after that is just a hoax. People are going to get pissed and start rioting. Unrest everywhere. The horrors!!

And when you do need to use material as a basis for your creativity or school work, remember citations are not enough. Permission is also required. Don't worry, our gahmen agency very efficient one. You can expect overnight responses from them.

Excerpts:

"Said an LTA spokesman: 'We are pleased to hear that the school student has strong interests in the land transport system in Singapore.'

And the spokesman added: 'Should this student wish to pursue a career in land transport, he can apply to LTA when we put out our job advertisements.'

However, LTA does not approve of his work because the circulation of such unauthorised maps may be misleading. Also, its official map cannot be reproduced without permission because it is protected by copyright laws."
