Water Tank

Most of you would have known about the news of that certain block in Woodlands which had a corpse in one of its water tanks by now.

Residents complain, make noise and unwilling pay that lucky owner of the provision shop downstairs to buy mineral water. SO what else can be done? I heard that every household is entitled to a compensation of ten lousy bucks only.

1. Sack the town council?

It was proposed by some of the people staying in that block but that is highly unlikely because this is a constituency under the lightning party. No responsibility is required. Honestly, if the town council deserves the sack, the one at my Clementi neighbourhood should have been fired long ago.

2. Sack the MP?

Sadly, the unlucky MP for this group of unlucky residents is a newbie who just started his political career in the recent elections. Chances are he will ask PUB for their "opinion" and divert the noise to other authorities but still get $15000 a month.

3. More compensation?

If you ask an eight year old kid, he will probably tell you that ten bucks is inadequate to even buy him a Transformers toy. I propose the compensation to be multiplied by at least ten times.

$100 is a fair and square amount, regardless of how many heads and legs (animals included) there are in each flat. The MP should also every house and deliver a carton of mineral water. Ah, wait a minute, elections are already over.

4. Waiver of utilities bill.

I propose that the whole block of residents enjoy a waiver of water bill for one month. This would be a good move to placate and pacify the financially-drained, mentally-traumatized and psychologically-shocked people and make them drink the water again (since it's free and they are Singaporeans)

5. Compensate a new flat

Hahaha, fat hope! Actually, I do know of somebody who happens to be staying at that now unpopular block in Woodlands and that is what he wished for. Maybe the MP and his bootlicking grassroots leaders should move there and prove to everybody that the water is safe for consumption.

Too bad, elections have concluded or else you will see all kinds of wayangs to "help" the affected residents.
