Well done, Scholars!

my blood boils (yes, still boiling!) when i read this piece of shit.

to summarise it, it is about the naming of Sg's 1st low-cost budget terminal.
apparently the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) organised a
"Low Cost Terminal Naming Contest" and guess what?

The winner is a 15-year old student
AND HIS WINNING ENTRY IS "BUDGET TERMINAL".

what a cock!!! our scholars are pea-brains or what????? is there a NEED to throw
in funds and manpower and resources to organise a NATION-WIDE contest
and end up with a name called "BUDGET TERMINAL"???

this is not the first time our scholars (when i said 'scholars', i'm referring to those
HIGHLY-PAID civil servants) parade their pea-brains for all to see!

in July 2005, the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) did a 'Branding Exercise' to
look for the BEST name to rename Marina Bay area, and to promote it overseas as a
Business and Financial Centre blah blah..

So they gathered developers, retailers, restaurateurs and other stakeholders and
GLOBAL BRANDING EXPERTS, spent about $400 000, and alas!!

Marina Bay was renamed as Marina Bay!!

WTF?!?!?!

National Development Minister Mah Bow Tan said:

"We started off with (the name) Marina Bay and after looking at everything,
the name that really tugged at the heartstrings was in front of us."

KNN!! are Singaporeans SOOOOOOOOOOO RICH that we can afford to pay
$400 000 (our taxes man!) to rename Marina Bay as Marina Bay???

We are really paying MONKEYS TO RUN OUR COUNTRY!

* this post is very LOUD because i really cannot stand it anymore..
