A Touch of Ingenuity & Creativity

Listen to this article Listen to this article

Wow, this guy must be real talented, his map really did look real and I thought
"Finally Singapore is going to be so accessible!"
Must give him credit for his hard work, though some adults might think "this boy ah, really a nuisance (I was thinking how to spell this word in the morning, somehow forgot how to spell... kept coming to my mind as nusense... knew somehow it looked wrong)." Well, at least it attracted some attention from the authorities, clarifying that the map is not an endorsed map but acknowledging Calvin's (the map creator) talent, wow! I would have thought a harsher statement would have been released. Phew!

The New Paper headlines read "I wasn't out to fool people".

Anyway, let's give credit to his map la, can see the passion and effort... but of course, make belief only la, who knows maybe LTA may even make reference to this when planning their train system, yoohoo! then the day will come when Singapore will be more accessible. Of course, hopefully no more white elephants queue up in front of "unopened stations" *cheeky*


From the Electric New Paper: He cited some points on the detailed map that should have alerted people that it was not the official one.

First, an official map wouldn't have shown the Changi Skytrain because it was not part of the rail network, said Calvin.

Similarly, it wouldn't have shown the Sentosa Express - a light rail system reportedly using a different type of train and tracks.
