Naive? But we like to be the first to try in almost everything. Can try or not?
Of course not. There are just too many selfish, private reasons.
How to make every citizen own a piece of SMRT? Those who can not afford to pay will be given something FOC? And really, if this were to happen, I think it will be bad news for everyone, because by then, SMRT will not have to run efficiently, not even effectively. Just do the minimum, after all, govt will come to its rescue if they fail since everyone has a stake and govt cannot let it fail. My personal view only.
