The FugLy Side

The 'garment' has yet again announced another increase ... if you'd hope itz ur pay, forget it.

The honour of the increase goes to bus fares. With effect from 1st October, Singaporeans wiLL aLL be paying some cents more for bus trips.

To aid the Low-income househoLds cope, schemes are avaiLabLe for the needy, such as the PubLic Transport Fund.

And aLready, beginning Last Saturday, streams of peopLe from aLL waLks of Life have visited community centres to appLy. Itz reaLLy amazing to see even those weLL-to-do peopLe wanting a piece of the fund, and aLso peopLe who do not reaLLy know what they are coming for.

Some peopLe just dun understand, do they? It is for Low-income famiLies and the needy.

Somehow, I think that this scheme is another media gimmick just to ease the tension which is expected to arise with the fare hike. There are stiLL those who are stuck at home, without a tv set, a radio or newspapers to even know about such a scheme. Im reaLLy wondering, if our nationaL pLedge supposedLy to be based on justice and equaLity, won't it be contradicting to award those no-so-needy peopLe instead?

So they say, the rich are getting richer and poor are getting poorer .. how true, when even the rich are trying to vie with the poor for such.
