If I were an MP...

I would,


  • Completely ban smoking / smokers must wear astronaut helmets when engaging in their self destructive behavior


  • Make cycling on roads illegal (punishment equivalent of attempted suicide)


  • Build a F21 store at tampines that is at least the size of Ikea


  • Increase ERP rates, in hope that COE prices will decline


  • Ensure that everyone can converse fluently in proper English (foreigners who want to enter Singapore will have to pass an English examination of O Level standard, and must get at least a distinction in oral in order to qualify)


  • Engineer double-decker MRTs, and sell sitting permits. Able-bodied passengers will have to pay premium rates (prices will be determined by market forces) while the elderly & handicapped have the privilege of free seats (anyone caught flouting these rules will be banished from public transport and forced to walk to their destination)


  • Make leaning on poles on public transport illegal (as above, inconsiderate offenders will be banned from public transport forever)


  • Allow people to have the liberty to choose their second language (it need not be their mother tongue)
