I think the financial tusmani has made us (SG) poor plus the you-know-who failed investments with the now burst investment company, we have to resort to this to get money.
I believed this problem has been there for so many years and they have been keeping it pretty quiet for all these years when the economy is booming. But why surface this problems now? Do you mean they suddenly woke up and realised that this is a huge sum we are talking about?
To make matters worse, if the system still have not changed, I remembered one can only pay these fines using cashcards. Now, how many of us have this card? I remembered a couple years ago when I was fined for a few cents, I have to go asked around with at least 10 person before I can borrow a cashcard to pay the fines. Why so rigid system? Why can’t people pays using AXS or over the counter at post office or even cash at the counter?
I used to love the library and have spent hours there. It was a community heaven where we can spend out time there, reading all the books/magazines without worries. Now, I feel that it has become like a business venture … tsk tsk tsk …. imagine, so stress over borrowing books and have to finish it within a short period of time and if overdue, the fines I have to pay ….
