The Orchard Road had been totally refreshed with a SS40 million makeover!
Or that is what the officials claim. If you ask me, I would say it was a complete failure and a waste of money. Why??? Is not great to have a makeover to remove all the filth and age from the heartland of Singapore? Okay, wait before commenting, hear out my arguments and you will see the unfiltered truth!
Before you scoff the S$40 million off, think of it as this way. S$40m is equivalent to S$40,000,000.00, or the salary of 33 334 McDonald's workers and coming from our own pockets too. Or put it in another way, it is the salary of an average white collar worker. If he worked his heart and blood out for 50 years. Or just the cost of a bottle of a 1769 Beaujolais Noveau in a tea reception for the Minister Mentor. Just caculate and see. Now do you get the rough idea of how much money did the government channel into this project?
The "Orchard Road Grand Makeover" had been commented by many to be, "...totally irrelevant", "unnoticeable", "...such a waste of taxpayer's money...", even "...added unnecessary obstacles to the path, and all paid from our tax." and "..completely wasteful." Few changes of worth were observed, and one pedestrian interviewed just said that he noticed a new mall..... IS adding a mall considered as a makeover? Some even question the government's motive behind all of these, and whether just a portion had been used off the record book.
