After my "run" or rather my attempt to cheat in the distance covered during my run at Macritchie on tuesday, i drove home ... and can't help but notice the tree along Braddell is gone.Since it's also PMS week, i might as well rant, and i have the rights to do so, no questions to be asked. I am a woman, i have PMS, i earn my right to rant.
So the tree is gone, cos some "good" citizens out there reckon it's dangerous and no one is following the speed limit of 40km/hr. The tree costs 200k to preserve it, they designed the Y shaped fork along braddell road to allow drivers to go around the tree. So many drivers have past it through the past two years. I haven't seen any major accidents ... oh make that no accidents yet. I mean, if the drivers on the road can't drive around a tree, they shouldn't even be given a license to drive.
Damn the idiots.
Bye Bye Tree.

Most Singaporeans can't drive. It's a fact. They have no lane discipline. They don't use blinkers. They roll through stop signs. They do not stop behind the line at traffic junctions. They do not give way to pedestrians in parking lots and zebra crossings. When you signal your intention to change lanes, the moron in that lane speeds up behind you to prevent you from doing so.
The fools can't drive. That is why, year after year, morons like them will crash and burn overseas, plunging into lakes, fjords, ravines; off cliffs, bridges, et cetera.
Spending $200k on preserving the tree, and then doing a volte-face. Brilliant. This is what we pay our highest-paid ministers in the world for.
A speed camera or speed strips would solve the problem. Or better yet, just let natural selection take its course.
