The survey shows that most Singaporeans do not trust or believe in Minister Khaw. Khaw was labelled as the S$8 dollar man in the past because he said medical cost was cheap in SG as he only paid S$8 for his heart surgery. However, there was never any S$8 medical plan for ordinary Singaporeans. A simple x-ray would cost at least S$15 in SG.
I think the Singapore government has lost touch with the people on the ground again. Attributing the SMRT failures to ground employees and French Thales computer system is akin to disavow the political responsibility and governance because SMRT has been nationalized. The government made a grave mistake to list public transportation by claiming that doing so would improve the transportation services and facilities. However, the SMRT CEO focused on P&L because the pay & bonus were based on financial performances instead of safety and better services. In the end, the government had no choice but to nationalize SMRT due to frequent breakdowns, delays and accidents.
