i always regard our Post office is one of the better managed agency. they are efficient yet not spending wastefully on madness upgrading and buying Herman Miller chairs.

But singpost not doing well. They are into property now, more like landlords

Now that we are already first world.. should these buildings keep up with times and be demolished and rebuilt? Or stay put as they are?

They are our culture.

I hope the gov don’t keep spending money tearing down buildings and then building new stuffs all the time. They should maintain and restore.

that’s the reason why we have no identity, everything is being erased. We got nothing to look back and reminisce. I cannot feel what we are Or how far we came.

[xiao.xin]

Singpost has been privatised very long time already.

the old Post Offices don't belong to them anymore.

u know who own Singpost ?

Singtel owns 21.7%

Alibaba Group Holding Limited owns 14.4 %

one of the biggest mistake made by The Singapore Tourist Promotion Board (STPB) done was to destroy Chinatown and replaced it w artificial Chinatown that look more like a Disneyland.

the vibrant & life of old Chinatown was gone w the removal of street vendors, the shouting & bargaining sound, the kids running in the street, tourists looking for old curiosities, etc

SG no culture one la. Destroy and rebuild only. Its just a matter of time. Thats why I prefer to walk walk in Hong Kong.
