'Give Way to buses scheme'= senseless, draconian public policy?

Solution to long bus commuter times is more frequent bus services and bus lanes, not cart before horse 'Give Way to buses scheme'

Isn't it common sense that one easy way for a bus to exit a bus bay is for another to enter it?
A bus seeking to enter a bus bay would obviously block off all oncoming traffic so that the bus exiting it would then easily exit (where road dimensions do not permit the provision of bus lanes).

Bank failure in Singapore- is PM Lee is sleeping with the enemy?

PM Lee says that he cannot regulate banks; time to put your $$$ in portions of $50k in different Singapore banks?
Saw the following news report about PM Lee saying that he cannot really tell the difference between retail banking and investment banking functions that some banks operate: 'Regulating tightly 'not always feasible'' [ST, 08Oct2012] : e.g. your savings earning 0.1% interest p.a. could be (mis)used by some banks to bet on extremely risky 'investments'- futures/ derivatives/ CFD/ CDO/ CDS etc etc, with potential benefits (banker's bonuses) but equally high downsides: see 'Rogue trader costs UBS $2 billion' [CNN, 19Sept2011] which losses cannot help but be translated into share holder losses, (SG inc. not being spared): 'Singapore Inc. Facing $7.4 Billion UBS Loss Tops Chain of Soured Bank Bets' [Bloomberg, 27Sept2011].

Having a constitutional case against SG govt (AGC) in court is like going to the casino, whomsoever has more $$$ to hire Senior/ Queens council (raise the stakes) will win the case, then bankrupt the opposition so that it would no longer exist. Happened before, still happens now.
Justice here it seems, sides with the wealthy in Singapore.
