2006 April Archive at Deadpoet’s Cave

You know, those who park too close to another lot or worse, those who take up two lots. Those who park with their cars jutting out. Those who park diagonally. Those who park on double-yellow lines. ~~Wannabe~~ Self-proclaimed rally car drivers who think they should be allowed to park off-road.

Mind you, it’s not just big car owners who can’t park. Small car owners are just as bad. Not to be outdone, some motorcyclists show that they can’t park either. Even… cyclists!

The best one? Policemen can’t park properly too.

If you spot a parking idiot, take a photo with your camera - the wonders of mobile phones - and email it to parkingidiot [at] cooltoad [dot] com. You can also print out these handy la b el s and keep them in your glove compartment for the appropriate occasion.

Thanks Anand, for highlighting this blog. You should blog. (See? I can’t link back to you ‘cos you don’t blog. Actually, I’m not even sure you are reading this.) Email has other uses. =P

Parking Idiots in Singapore was also featured on Mr Miyagi’s blog. I missed his Today article, and I wasn’t subscribed to his feed ’til recently.

Hooray for civic-conscious bloggers!

P.S. To my Malaysian friends… stop sniggering.

Over the past 24 hours, most of the people I’ve talked to about the big E share one of a limited range of reactions/sentiments.

Aiyah, so troublesome. Have to vote. / Wah, so lucky! You don’t need to vote.
Vote so and so? Siao ah! Wait I lose my job.
Which constituency am I in? Who were* my MPs?

Those are the three overwhelmingly common reactions. Of course, there are others who are interested. But they are few and far in between.

For those who are interested, you can decide for yourselves. You can find out about the latest rallies from the Singapore Police Elections Liaison Office. (Got this via Sg Election ‘06.) I hope publicizing all the rallies isn’t construed as “persistently promoting political views”. I’m promoting informed choices.

If you can’t make it for the rallies, then you can check out the parties’ websites. In alphabetical order:

People’s Action Party
Singapore Democratic Alliance (Consisting of NSP, PKMS, SJP and SPP)
Singapore Democratic Party
Workers’ Party

Remember: Hear it straight from their mouths.

Update: Channelnewsasia’s General Election site has links to several pertinent elections resources, including a Rally Calendar.

*A point brought up by a friend: With Parliament dissolved, there are technically no MPs and no Ministers. So why does the press refer to the respective individuals by their (for the moment) non-existent posts?
