		<description>@SKP Seriously deeply introspect yourself and reflect on the comment you posted. The words that probably come to mind would probably be "I am an absolutely selfish cockhead" and that does not even scrape the icing. Fair enough you're entitled to believe that ALL Chinese nationals love to cut queues, however do not try and exert what little inferiority you have by calling an individual a selfish, naive loser.

That being said, my hypocrisy is running loose and I apologise for calling you a cockhead, but I guess you need to understand what it feels like to be on the receiving end of lowly insults.

Back to the point of argument, if all Chinese Nationals are good at cutting queues, imagine all of them trying to cut in front of each other simultaneously, what would happen? Chaos and anarchy would be an understatement. Some decent sense of turn taking and respect is all that is needed and everything could at least be that bit more enjoyable albeit a busy crowd.

But hey, I guess I'm really a loser because I "can't beat those who cut Q", so you know what I'll do? I won't beat them, I'll just break their legs so they can squirm and wither in pain in their current queue position PERMANANTLY.</description>

		<description>The organizer should have set a limit to the number of tickets available for sale. By trying to maximize their profit with unlimited supply of tickets for sale when the location can't handle this amount of crowd, is simply asking for trouble.</description>

		<description>To also add, anything that is free, you not only have to go early you have to go on the 1st day.  Lets be a good citizen, don't cut queue and there will be more peace and harmony.  Cheers!</description>

		<description>Hi,

Why people never learn their lessons, anything that is free (comparing to having take a taxi or pay $5 at the expo) you need to do your homework before hand.  On Fri, I called the organiser and checked where   was the pick up point (outside Pasir Ris MRT) and what time was the 1st bus (9am). On Sat, we were there at 9am and already there was a queue in front of us, within 20min we were up the bus in comfort and we enjoyed the trip and left shortly before the show end to catch a bus out.  I must say its an enjoyable trip for 3 adults and 6 children!

ps. of course we saw people cutting cue lah, one chinese woman pretend to send in front of me and another Indian woman also tried the same trick but was told off by me that they are at the wrong place, some people just so thick skin!</description>

		<description>Inability to react swiftly and be agile in handling issue has been proven costly to Singapore Airshow 2008. The exhibition and aerial display are very good, at least in my opinion. The que kills it, period. It, however, can be much better if the organizer understand the theory of constraint. 
1) Multiple que line for bus instead of just one que line. I was seeing shuttle bus waiting for one in-front to be loaded with passenger before its turn to load people --&#62; much faster flow. I advice on spot but they  ignored.
2) Designated shuttle bus lane --&#62; prevent jam entering the exhibition. I saw to lane road occupied by taxi, bus, private car. A mess!</description>

		<description>the airshow is not for the public...
 once the professionals left why would the organisers do something.

 Singapore is always very efficient at crowd control (did you see riots?), but it is often very inefficient at moving people around (their strategy is always very simple: one entrance = crowd control, they don't care that one enrance slows things down and exasperates people)</description>

		<description>hur hur, heng i didn't go, when i heard the tickets were sold out, i knew it was going to be a huge disaster in terms of crowd. anyway, i was too busy to go. yes, i agree with the foreigners. How can Singapore handle Youth Olympics in 2010 if they can't even handle such events ? Let's take this as an important lesson to learn.</description>

		<description>Lucky I change my mind and didnt go for the show. I am applaud by fact that tickets was oversold. How can the papers be saying it was a huge success and all the exhibitors would want to come back as the venue was good and easy access.

Anyway propaganda again i guess...</description>

		<description>I'm one of them. Arrived at Pasir Ris MRT at around 10.45 and based on my experience last 2 years ago (queing every where), when I saw the queue I decided to 'donate' my $20 to the organisator and go home instead.</description>

		<description>See the irony of this:

From the Singapore Airshow wesbsite :

An airshow's success depends on more than just a name. It depends on the location, the people who manage it and their experience in running successful airshows. Singapore has played host to Asiaâ€™s largest airshow for 26 years. And that experience is going to help us keep doing just that. That is why you can expect to be awed by the Singapore Airshow 2008.

Didn't they announce proudly .. about improving congestion?

Exhibitors, trade visitors and the public who complain about long queues at the registration counters, delays in security clearance, traffic jams and tired feet can expect some relief in 2008. Technology will speed up registration and security checks and a new six-lane road leading in and out of the site, should help ease traffic jams. A public carpark with around 2,000 lots has been constructed.</description>
