Hitler hates the ERP and taking MRT!

This video is hilarious! Mind you though, it might make more sense to Singaporeans, or anyone who has had experience living in Singapore.

You see, in the traffic system in Singapore, the "benevolent" authorities has implemented what is know as Electronic Road Pricing System, or ERP for short, to regulate vehicle traffic flow along the roads, especially during peak hours.

This is unlike the toll-gate system in other countries, where gantries are 'strategically' located all across the island. At certain timings, when a vehicle passes through such a gantry, a fee is automatically charged and deducted.

Of course, the driver/motorist is the one who pays for these ERP charges.

The authorities think that such a system can discourage people from driving, and in turn encourage use of public transport instead, like buses or trains (MRT - Mass Rapid Transit).

Still, taking buses or trains, especially during peak hours, is almost like being squeezed in a can of sardines!

And sometimes, the trains are so packed, people can't even board them!

So watch and enjoy Hitler's obvious 'love' for this incredulous system! :D

Will Smith - On Life, Work ethic, and more!

Will Smith is undoubtedly one of the most influential actors in our generation.

His films usually hover around the inspirational, motivational themes of movies.

In this collection of interview clips, Will shares his beliefs about his life, about the universal laws that revolve around our daily lives.



I am most deeply impressed, and it gives me a different glimpse to what kind of person Will is.
