[Kyubi]

Not going liao.. Thought the situation will be at least last night but seemed like alot took leave.. Went to tribute centre yesterday evening to pen down.. RIP Mr Lee!

I give up my 4am plan. Friday/Saturday chop worse.
Will just stand alongside the procession on Sunday.

Think I will do the same too

 

[bobafettup]

anybody near the front or just came out? can confirm if everything is still moving?

 

[es0teric]

What is the queue waiting period now?

 

[coolhead]

Rehearsal from 12-5am for the procession, would that be the reason for holding up the q? And I'll be surprised if they didn't rehearse in a mockup place.

I will think that rehearsal is based on alot of mock-ups in place not to disturb the mourning sessions. If it were true the funeral rehearsal affected the flow rate of the mourners, then it's quite abit of mis-info there.

Just in case some took the wrong route

I believe even the priority queue has gotten way too long.

SINGAPORE - A bottleneck at the priority queue - set aside for the elderly, disabled people, pregnant women and those with children aged below six - prompted the authorities to impose stricter rules on who could join the line, said ushers on the ground.

Now, children aged below six can be accompanied only by their parents, while elderly folk can be accompanied only by one other adult.

The queue to get into Parliament House, where the late Mr Lee Kuan Yew is lying in state, swelled again on Thursday night. Ushers told people joining the queue around midnight that the wait would be seven or eight hours.

As at 1am on Friday, the wait was expected to be about eight hours. Members of the public were advised not to join the queue.

ccording to a recent update on the Remembering Lee Kuan Yew Facebook page, a shorter wait of two hours or so can be expected between 4am and 9am each morning.

The State Funeral Organising Committee said in a statement that members of the public should start queueing at the Padang (City Hall MRT).

Constant updates can also be found on www.rememberingleekuanyew.sg.

Looks like you got upset. Don't be. As I said I too planned to go down, but sometimes there are better ways to do things. Queuing for 10 hours is not that way.

I don't really care about whether you're going or not, just that I have a habit of identifying and pointing out weasel words. Wouldn't have bothered with your post if you didn't mention LKY.

what i understand is the priority queue for the elderly, disabled and children under 6 is just lesser movement. Don't need to twist and turn like the normal queue and walk all the way to connaught drive and by the singapore river. waiting time is just as long though.

Luckily i went yesterday, thought of going today.
