Crowding and waiting times, air-con in trains among 3 areas for improvement on public transport: PTC

>Three key areas on the public transport network have been identified for improvement, including crowding in buses and trains, irregular bus waiting times, and uneven air conditioning on the MRT.

>The Public Transport Council (PTC), in a statement on July 20, said findings from the public transport customer satisfaction survey and feedback from focus groups found that courtesy and consideration shown by other commuters on buses and trains was another area of concern.

>Irregular bus waiting times and difficulty in boarding crowded buses and trains are a key concern for commuters, who want more accurate and timely information on bus and train arrival timings, to help them better plan their journeys.

>Being able to choose less crowded services, and wait shorter durations for their train or bus services is also on the commuter wishlist, PTC said.

Filipinana - Official Trailer

>Isabel, a 17-year-old from the rural north of the Philippines, works at a posh country club outside Manila. Amid stifling heat and pervasive drought, she lines up golf balls for powerful men to drive into the carefully manicured verdant horizon. Between shifts, she wanders the immaculate grounds, sampling its luxuries and exploring its liminal spaces. The club’s members, including an industrialist and his expatriate niece, the president and his pampered wife, and a slew of Chinese tourists, engage in a complex dance with the doting and subservient staff. But something is rotting beneath the pristine fairways of the elite resort, as Isabel discovers when she tries to return a mislaid golf club to its patriarchal director, Dr. Palanca. The deeper she journeys into its most exclusive corners, the closer she gets to the violent truths of the club, her native Philippines, and her own past. Executive produced by Jia Zhangke, this Sundance award-winning debut announces writer-director Rafael Manuel as a major new voice in international cinema.

[Teaser] Strange: Junji Ito’s Tales for Sleepless Nights (TV series)

https://youtu.be/3x2d70UzRZs?feature=shared

Website

Comment from Original Creator Junji Ito
To my surprise, TV Tokyo has adapted my manga into a live-action drama.

This series brings several of my short stories and serialized works to the screen. Every script is highly polished—not only do they preserve the spirit of the original works, but the adaptations are also wonderfully handled. There were many moments when I found myself thinking, “I see… perhaps I should have written the original that way!”

I am also delighted that a group of up-and-coming directors has come together for this project, and the performances by the talented cast are something to look forward to. I hope the series will reflect the unique personalities of both the directors and the actors.

On top of that, the opening theme song, “JIGSAW” by K-pop artist IVE, is a fantastic track that is sure to make the drama even more compelling.

I sincerely hope many people will watch and enjoy the series.
