"And after sacrificing 181 people, with the entire city wipe out, that the govt was slapped on the face and decided to push the system to work. What a joke for a great nation like OZ."

this policy is a waste of taxpayers money. why is it that only after such tragic incidents that they revive dumb difficult-to-implement policies?

I do not think the singapore govt is capable of implementing good policies if it runs a continent the size of Australia. Everyday, some disgrunted senior citizen will light bushfires over its millionnaire ministers' policies.

There will be other polcies with better foresights in the coming months -
such as setting up better firebreak containment lines, using better fire-resist building materials, modern fire retarding chemicals to protect dwellings housing the trapped.

Bushfires spread so quickly that they "jump" from one place to another.

Remember, unlike Singapore where the govt operates on its own. Over in Australia, there are many processes to ensure the govts do their jobs.
