Yaw is a political novice who just shot himself in the foot and doesn't realise it. Which makes it worse! He's giving opposition a bad name. <BR/><BR/>I mean think about it. If ever a PAP grassroot leader thinks that an opposition candidate is a better person. Would that PAP leader vote for the opposition? <BR/><BR/>Right.

Recently, though, I have noticed an increasingly haughty attitude from the service staff on site. I've always wondered why, and I think I know now.<BR/><BR/>Instead of taking the opportunity to engage a supporter, Ms Cheng chose to reel off facts to disprove the complaint about the zoo's stiff charges. For example, her reply to Mr Lim's view that the food was too expensive was that it's not, as there were 'fresh large prawns and other quality ingredients' in the laksa sold by the zoo's food outlet.<BR/><BR/>I'm sure Mr Lim is by now convinced that the fresh prawns, quality vegetables and fishcake are worth the money. Our public institutions should start dropping their adversarial approach and start treating Singaporeans as valued customers.<BR/><BR/>We give feedback because we hope the experience can become better, so that the attractions stay profitable and world-class. We don't do it to get special treatment or privileges.<BR/><BR/>Ms Cheng ends by saying that Mr Lim 'should feel free' to contact her staff if he has further questions.<BR/><BR/>I don't think he should, as the management is not going to be appreciative of any feedback. The phrasing of this last sentence reflects the tone of her entire letter.<BR/><BR/>Steve TanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
