To lift or not to lift

Today was the fourth time in the week that i woke up at 9am.

Not by my alarm but by the either one of the two party's lorry loudspeaker, going round and round the carpark just below my block.

So irritating. Cant even have a good sleep.

Anyway, went to WP rally today and was greeted by a sea of people. The whole stadium was filled, occasionally spilling to the road side. Stunning.

Didnt stay long and move to SDA rally at Potong Pasir instead. I need to make a wise vote afterall.

Interestingly, the debate about whether CST has the money to upgrade lifts or not has been going infinitely.... now and in the past alike....

Mr Speaker: Mr Chiam, you are making a speech. What is your question?

Mr Chiam See Tong: I still want to know the reasons why we are not allowed to make the lift to stop at every floor, especially the point block flats. No reasons are given. They said, we cannot. Why? We have got enough money.
