Downtown Line survey

I just completed the Downtown Line stations' names survey on LTA's website earlier today. It is a poll for the public to choose which names do they prefer for the new stations.

Before and while doing the survey, I was thinking that there will be prizes but realized that there will be none after submitting my answers.

Actually, excluding the first one which gives people a choice between "Fort Canning" and "River Valley" for River Valley Station, the rest are pretty dumb.

Both questions eight and ten have two selections where the difference is only a word "view". Really doesn't make a difference at all.

Question six lets you decide between "Mattar" and "Merpati", either of these two names are not significant enough to ring a bell in most Singaporeans, let alone the foreigners which make up one-third of the population.

In a whole, this survey is not really up to standard. More choices and a wider variety of them should be provided to allow people to make a more desirable selection.
