黄金路: 每一段路 都有个ERP


Picture taken from HardwareZone forum

Some joker on HardwareZone forum went to rewrite the lyrics for the Channel 8 drama serial, 黄金路 (literally translated as “Golden Road“), to reflect on the Singapore government’s ERP policy. How appropriate! Hahahahaha!

Here’s the new lyrics:

政府都该 把电子车费调低些
就算没钱 预算不够 都不应该调高
我们都该 省吃俭用 才不会饿死
政府不理 我们生死 拍拍屁股全部走掉

多少次说了你才会听懂
多少钱你拿了才算足够
多少次以为TAX不会再起
却发现已开始就是个错误!

每一段路 难免会TRAFFIC JAM
要进TOWN AREA 一定每天要早起床
真让人头痛 破坏了一早的路途

每一段路 都有个ERP
把CASHCARD牢牢握住 不让政府赚钱
学怎么SIAM 千万别迷路

Damn funny hor! The DI-ed photo also very cute!~

Actually, I think the best way to solve traffic congestion is to improve the public transport system. Singapore is such a small country – it only takes at most one hour to drive from one end of the island to the other. There’s really not much incentive to own a car if the public transport system is World Best (we like to be world best in everything right? Why not public transportation? 🙂 ).

A case in point will be going to Orchard Road during weekends. It is faster to get there by MRT than cars because of severe congestion. Hence for a rational person like me, I will choose to take MRT than drive because it saves me time. In this example, there are more incentives to take public transport because it is more economically efficient than driving (in terms of $$$, time and effort).

Having said that, given the crappy services we are still receiving from the SBS and SMRT oligopoly, things are not likely to improve anytime soon.

  • 政府不该 调高电子收费的服务
    预算不足 人民受苦 逼向穷途末路
    我们都该 缩紧腰代 才足以糊肚
    政府不理 人民困处 怂怂肩视若无睹 (怂怂肩say 'what to do....?')

    多少次说了你才听清楚
    多少钱入你口袋才满足
    多少次以为找到了小路
    却发现几天后 又变成'死'路

    每一段路 难免车龙无数
    要进入市区 每天必定摸黑早起
    真让人头痛 破坏了一早的路途

    每一段路 终究你说算数
    要考虑清楚 要买车还是要买屋
    真让人痛苦 不能早点回家享福

    (ENCHOR)
    每一段路 都是政府黄金路
    把现金卡牢牢握住 不让政府欢呼
    学走小路 千万别迷路
