Merchant Saw was hailed a rare catch when SMRT crowed about her appointment as the Top Fat Cat.
SMRT, one of nationalised transit cartels said Merchant Saw will bring her world class experience from DFS to a cartel organisation that relies on duopoly boons.
In reality DFS booted the inept Saw, an underperformer who relied on relations to get to where she is now.
Apparently her networking skills give her a cushy new post at SMRT. When a ex-retail fat cat goes to SMRT as Head Honcho, it is akin to getting Gucci bapoks to run General Electric.
True to her old tricks, Saw immediately rewarded her patrons by juicing up profits, not by providing better transit or bus service but using gimmicks.
Merchant Saw merely open up empty spaces at MRT stations and bus interchanges for rental income. She convinced the inept Raymond Lim, then Transport Minion that 'lower fuel prices are not related to lower fares'. With political backing from Raymond Lim, Merchant Saw and fare watchdogs presided series of fare hikes despite lower fuel prices or bad economic conditions to earn super normal profits annually. Merchant Saw claimed her leadership skills bloat profits but forgets SMRT is a duopoly. (Note: Inept Raymond Lim was removed as Transport Minion due to underperformance but still collects fat cat pay as a Peasants' Representative)
With income boosted from non-core activities and backing from clueless Raymond Lim, Merchant Saw owes no accountability if service levels drop. Anyway, the goondu PTC merely hands out cheap fines $10,000 for service lapse. Merchant Saw only need to squeeze or fine a few tenants at MRT stations to pay PTC's fines.
When peasants lambasted Merchant Saw for her 'act blur' stance regarding MRT interchange overcrowding, Saw merely employed gangs of retirees to cajore peasants to squeeze like sardines into rush hour trains. Saw claimed it will take many years to purchase advanced signalling systems to match Hong Kong's transit performance. Saw has the gall to blame stupid peasants for clogging the interchanges because of their crass habits whole boarding trains. The regime only acted by re-arranging the Jurong East interchange platforms and promise stupid peasants that the overcrowding will be reduced - if they can wait for 9 full moons. Why is that so? Because if stupid peasants voted the 'ney' for Jurong East GRC 2011 elections, the platform upgrades will be history.
To prove that her political support remains intact, Saw ensured that newly open Circle Line Dhoby Gaut interchange station has smallest capacity to max profits and reduce construction costs. The human jam was a joke on the opening day but Saw simply smile and order more shark fin soup for lunch. The reason was obvious, two days later, Minion of State Josephine Teo told stupid peasants that capacity forecasts are never accurate and smelling each others' odour and groping women will be the key features for all transit lines.
Merchant Saw is an avid reader of jewish business magazines. One recent trick she learnt is to import cheaper engineers and technicans from surrounding basket cases e.g. Pinoyland, Burma. What a greedy lass she is? The PTC has always rubber stamped her demands for fare hikes and using cheap Pinoys and the timing of the record 2 day transit shutdown cannot be unrelated.
