Wed 18 March
To talk to such a person early in the morning is a real lousy experience. No wonder uneducated people are looked down upon. They are unreasonable, uncouth. Their lack of intelligence is very unpleasant to talk to.
I felt like hanging up the phone the moment this man spoke.
I am surprised the Town Council hired such a man (Mr Teo) to represent them as being in charge of "open spaces".
Even the receptionist I first spoke to was better & more educated than him. Goodness. What sort of shitty people do the Town Council have?
The moment he answered the phone, his English was in bits. It sounded like a child was trying to speak. When finally, he geared up enough to speak, his words were very crude, very uncouth.
Clearly, he was very uneducated. From the way he spoke, not even 'O' level. Bucktoothed?
Yet I confirmed with him that he was Mr Teo in charge of open spaces. I wanted to tell him that he was very rude. But held back to see if he could do anything regarding the matter.
It is better he were fired. Scolding him over the phone isn't going to go anywhere. A stupid person will just remain stupid even if you shout at him.
He even demanded for my particulars in a totally uncouth way (just like the uneducated, alcoholic Indian man of the Residents' Committee I had previously encountered).
What is the use of demanding for my particulars when he has no intention of solving the problem?
I was very surprised the Town Council has such "in-charge" staff. Where did he come from? The trash?
From previous cases, I notice the Town Council don't do anything. They will give all kinds of excuses and go roundabout in wasting your time pretending they will look into it. They give the impression that they will look into it. But when you press them for confirmation, they will finally admit that they can't do anything.
Not only that, they hire very stupid and lazy people to be "in charge". Such people shouldn't even be able to get a job.
The Town Councils are useless and should be replaced. They can't even do garbage collection properly. Those India garbage collectors drip the stinking garbage liquid everywhere they drive their garbage trailers. And they shouldn't even be going into void decks and pedestrian walkways, yet they do it everyday.
That's modern Singapore? In the past, no such thing. I never saw garbage collectors go into walkways or drive by with a full load of uncovered stinking garbage while people are walking.
Singapore is going worse than backwards. So unhygienic.
When the Town Council was alerted to this problem, nothing was done. The Indian garbage collectors just put a canvas over the heap for 1 day. After that, it was uncovered heaps of garbage being driven here and there as usual.
In India, garbage is everywhere. They have no sense of hygiene. These Indian garbage collectors think they are in India, driving their vehicles up and down and around public streets of Singapore. And the Town Council does Nothing.
Certainly, the Town Councils have money to improve things. But they choose not to. The Singapore government would rather waste money building useless things like the giant Ferris wheel and doing useless projects like doing a train with Malaysia. And then wait to say that actually the SGD is weak and they have been using precious reserves to prop it up.
I love Singapore but things have gotten bad in just 10~20 years. It's quickly reversing the "progress" that the country achieved in a few short decades.
The Town Council has money and yet I just discovered that they don't even want to put basketball netting in the HDB courts. The Town Council says they don't put netting for the hoops. If there's a game, the residents/players put up the netting themselves.
Come on. Basketball netting is very cheap. Only a few cents each. The Town Council can't even afford to put up netting for residents?
Even those CCTV cameras along the walkways are not Town Council's work. It is the police that put them up. The Town Council only put up CCTV inside the lifts.
Considering all the things that the Town Council did not do and cannot do, it is useless keeping such councils.
They should be replaced with better teams of people who can do, can solve, can help, can improve.
