Railway station craze

We are aware that the Tanjong Pagar railway station will go into history come 1st July. Don't worry, I am not going to be an overnight fan and post some last-minute pictures about it here.

Instead, I would like to take this opportunity to hit out at those people who flocked the railways and station at the eleventh hour to take pictures of it and do other dumb things like standing on the tracks as if the trains have ceased operations.

It is just a lame trend that trendsetters start and followers join in the fun blindly. The over-hyped and ubiquitous product from Apple known as the iPhone is a very good example of blind followers.

Michael Jackson leaving the world two years ago was also another instance of what it means to have hypocrites cherishing you only after you're gone. Just look at the number of overnight supporters he got singing and dancing his songs after his death.

So I say, this railway tracks and railway station craze out of nowhere is a feeble attempt by hypothetical people to portray and showcase their love of this historical icon although we know that not much of it is mentioned anyway if the closure of it did not occur.
