Blocked To Nowhere
Seriously, I really question the intelligence of some people and in this case, the management from LTA. Well, I was caught in a massive jam yesterday morning and I was thinking what could have happened that caused it. I was even thinking of chained accidents and I was so speechless when I realised what happened.
Well, there were people doing plant pruning on the right lane of the CTE causing the 3 lane road to be shortened into a 2 lane. The funny part? They blocked off the lane with cones covering from the point they finished pruning to where they were still pruning and stretched all the way to the concrete bridge...where there were
NO trees or plants at all. And they had to do it at the peak morning season. Bravo to the management! Stupidity at its best!
They could have shortened the waiting time to pass through the jam by reducing their work area as soon as possible and not to mention places that didn't need to be blocked. Whoever planned that arrangement must have an inconsiderate and exaggerated thinking. Thinking too much on a detail leads to nowhere but self humiliation.
By the way, thanks to the nice guy who helped me secure a ticket for my new broadband account. I signed up for M1 Fixed Broadband 30Mbps plan on the last day of Comex. I know it's crazy to pick it up but it's really very valued for money. Ha! Guess I'll be climbing Bukit Timah like a flash! =)
