Saw some very bright ideas in the Straits Times from Singaporeans who must have spend a lot of time in their lives walking between their TVs and refrigerators on how to make the hike to the MacRitchie Reservoir TreeTop walk more pleasant. These guys now want the road leading to the reservoir lined with walking pavements - they claim it is unsafe to just walk along the roadside.
And while they are at it, I might as well offer some creative and innovative (civil service parlance, by the way) ideas of my own too to make this hike less of a hike:
a) introduce an airconditioned shuttle bus service from the nearest MRT station
b) make sure that the above mentioned pavement along the road is covered with a shelter all the way from Upper Thomson Road start point to the reservoir end
c) have a 7-Eleven at some halfway point, so that we can buy some cold cokes
d) pave the jungle track within the forest so that we can roller blade if we so wish
e) deploy the latest mosquito killing technology along the track so that we do not get bitten
f) get the park rangers to hand out free umbrellas at the treetop walk area when it rains (this will be counted as excellent customer service if the park authority decide to apply for the SQA award one day)
g) get some local company to offer a sedan chair service for those who wish to protect their pedicured feet.
Think that should be enough for those in the park board to work upon for the time being.
