After re-reading the article, I would like to clarify what I have wrote.<BR/><BR/>I am sorry if inference is drawn that I was 'downgrading' OPC drivers. That was certainly not my intention at all. At no point did I say that <B>all</B> OPC drivers are the same. In fact, I have used words of uncertainty, i.e. "probably" and "may".<BR/><BR/>I was a weekend car driver myself in the early 1990s. My elder brother is currently also driving an off-peak car. I can therefore fully understand your point and agree with what you have said, i.e. not all OPC drivers park like that. (My brother and I certainly don't.)Victorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10339178864363140977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13303109.post-83586149343564535162007-09-17T07:49:00.000+08:002007-09-17T07:49:00.000+08:00i know this comment is pretty late but i think i s...i know this comment is pretty late but i think i should say this, however late it may be.<BR/><BR/>i think it's not fair how you 'downgrade' OPC drivers. Not all are the same and the same goes for normal plate drivers. Some of us are nice and courteous people whereas some of us are complete jackasses. This OPC driver that you are talking about may have fallen into the 2nd category, I agree, but I don't think it's because he drives an OPC? Please review what you have said cos I believe it may affect some people indifferently. I am an OPC driver myself but I clock the same mileage people with normal plates do every year. I drive everyday cos my working schedule is the 7am-7pm type. So please don't judge people blindly. It's fair to judge them appropriately.<BR/><BR/>Thanks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13303109.post-54903775798820685052006-12-20T13:59:00.000+08:002006-12-20T13:59:00.000+08:00Chris - Another Singaporean trait is: we like to c...Chris - Another Singaporean trait is: we like to complain a lot, just like what I am doing now, hee. I can't help it. I am in complaining mode now because it was sparked off by someone.<br /><br />Frannxis - Welcome back. How was your holiday? I was missing your blog entries.<br /><br />If the driver realised his mistake but was too lazy to re-park the car, then he is really worse than I thought. If he didn't realise it, I still can forgive him (even though it's hard).Victorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10339178864363140977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13303109.post-2913464057793522312006-12-20T11:35:00.000+08:002006-12-20T11:35:00.000+08:00It indeed looks like a selfish act.

Magazines and newspapers were made available onboard public buses as an added service to the commuters. And what happened? The magazines and newspapers were found missing, apparently "stolen" by communters who decided that this service should be extended to the comfort of their homes. Sigh.<br /><br />Now with PM Lee at the helm, the social graces of S'poreans still leave much to be desired. It will take many generations for it to materialises, if at all.Chris Simhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08760501651748435844noreply@blogger.com
