It's only a 1km extension... Why does it need 3 years to complete??

This extension is not a priority in any case.
Furthermore cruise terminal kena delayed.

You are right. As I said, SMRT surely have to take action if things doesn't go well.

They try to cut cost whereever possible
This is the location of the new station, and the extension too.

SMRT can't really do much as it isn't BOT.. It's LTA's cue.
But wat SMRT could do is to improve off peak freq for now.

partly layman term it's profits.. but I believe today's generation of govt policy planners never do early planning.
We used to be trailblazers.
they should consider extending futher down towards Marina Barrage lerh

Actually, there were a total of 3 stations proposed along the line in the Marina Bay area...only 1 was constructed (current Marina Bay station)...
but worth or not? Later need to spend $$ to buy more trains.
Really, MRT is only for heavy corridor.
