And I have nothing to show for it.
On the way to work this morning, I observed with some irritation the smooth flow of traffic all the way from Marriott Hotel to Suntec City and compared this to last week when I sat in cabs that stopped for every traffic light from Plaza Singapura to Suntec City. EVERY SINGLE BLOODY LIGHT. And why? Because 2 lanes of traffic at Swissotel (f.k.a Westin Stamford) were blocked to traffic by the police. And for what? So that we could, uh, showcase how flexibly Singaporeans can bend over backwards to accommodate a bunch of VIPs for a week.
Yes, yes, we could of course say it will do us no end of good to have these people here a week as it will put Singapore on the map and we will all gain in the end from the publicity and earn more tourist dollars, blah blah blah. But really, thinking this through, did it register more than a blip in the radar of global newsworthiness? How does this literally translate to a tangible benefit to Singaporeans? Or are we just like the rich geeky kid in school who tries to get more popular by throwing a huge party for the "cool" kids?
And next up, there will be the new ERP gantry at Suntec to look forward to. I suppose the added (and largely, non-tourist) dollars from this gantry would be used to pay for our "cool kids party".
Brrrr... I'm mad
