MRT in D15 *eastern region line

[Komo]

so no point investing all the money in condo....diversify and buy some landed also and build tunnels. Can protect from nuclear blast too!

[teddybear]

Self-built tunnels mostly "tou fu zha". Just a bit of earth shake only will get buried alive in there!

anyone else has "inside" info on location of ERL stations? :P

[cl0ver]

aiyaa... even if announce, doubt the area will shoot up in price...
just look at MappleWoods... freehold, bukit timah, next to future MRT, near MGS also selling now less than The Sound....

why? because its 13 yrs old. so when ERL completed, most condos in east will also be 10yrs old....

Maplewoods has been increasing steadily in the past.

[proper-t]

Not only Maplewoods but the landed properties along the whole bukit timah stretch have shot up like crazy.

When terrorists attack Singapore or in war, staying next to MRT station can quickly hide into MRT station as they are also built to act as super solid bomb-shelter. Staying far away probably got bombed & disintegrate into pieces before they can even run to safely in the bomb-shelter.

Those condo's built-in bomb-shelter useless one lah.

Staying in OCR so crowded that the MRT station also not enough to shelter all the residents there especially the old HDB flats and condos don't have bomb-shelter. Staying in D15 even worse because no MRT bomb shelter to hide! By the time they run (no bus and no train operating liao by then) to a MRT bomb-shelter (assuming they super strong and super lucky to avoid all the attacks along the way), they can't even get into the MRT station because already full!

Those terrorists are planning to bomb the MRT stations esp Orchard, Somerset & Dhoby Ghaut. You are still thinking of running to hide in these MRT tunnels!

OCR =>Terrorists can't even be bothered to sacrifice their lives (suicide bombing) to bomb HDBs.

Haha...those in the know would probably be buying up units near the stations already....

However, I recall in another forum where some actually posted some prospective sites. Let me see whether can dig up.

Terrorists won't live in CCR so the moment they carry a big backpack (needed to hold the explosives) from somewhere wanting to carry out their terror attack they already rose suspicion + the fact so many police around guarding (see the uniformed ones frequently along Orchard Road, not including the plain-cloth police hiding among the people there) + the many police headquarters nearby beside Istana & Tanglin & Kampong Java etc.

OCR? So crowded with so many foreigners all living there and many all carrying backpacks and that checking is difficult + since everybody also think they can't be bothered, then it become early target for them to show off that they can still MAKE IT in Singapore! Looks like Parkway Parade is easy target?

Two other most feasible places they want to bomb besides the prime Orchard Road area:

1) Novena / IRAS: So they no need to pay taxes, all records are swept out
2) Little India: They join forces with the Pakistanis hidden in a swarm of black sea and blow the whole area from Jalan Besar all the way to Selegie Road

[teddybear]

Talk of that, they are more likely to target:
- Meyer Road & Amber Road areas: The rich foreign indians crowding over there making the poor Talibans red eyes and want to blow them out.
- Parliament House and Raffles Place - Bomb those who support war on Iraq.
- Chinatown: So crowded, can bomb the Chin-nas.
- Parkway Parade: Bomb the only big shopping mall in D15.

What kind of glory (to them) is there to bomb Parkway Parade?

I think you'll (anti-D15) be the first suspect if Parkway Parade gets bombed!

[teddybear]

Bomb the SM constituency mah, big glory. All your ah-neh in D15 will have to move elsewhere since no more big shopping mall to shop in D15.

There quite a good thread in D16 forum ...

Soil Testing Along Marine Parade Rd --which also discussed on mrt.

There also another thread which discuss on D16..mrt stations..--MRT in D16 *Eastern Region Line (ERL)

seem that there are many like minded who is guessing the ERL sites.
nice work, forumer..

[Wolverine23]

but we nneed to know the exxact locations!!! there are actually a lot of empty state land around the areas....

plot behind NAFA, plot opp VJC, etc.... all these are potential MRT openings...

If u want to know exact locations, you hv to pay special attention on soil tests carrying out by LTA contractors. So far, comprehensive tests have been spotted from Tanjong Rhu to Marine Parade, I believe they are starting to move towards Marine Cresent/Terrace.

how do you spot these soil tests??? how does it look like?

[rambo6]

soil testing is done using a drilling rig, approx. 3m to 4m high.
quite easy to spot them.
they are usually a team of 3 to 5 workers, and the drilling is usually done on the sidetable (turf area on the side of the road).
they will drill into the ground to analyse the change of soil types at different depths for recording purposes.
The engineers will then do a feasibility study on the tunnelling route using the soil test reports.

ok, i try to look around... could it also be that they are checking to see if the land is sinking?
