Top Ten List:
The True Meaning of EMAS

From the Home Office at Kaki Bukit Car Mart, here's the Top Ten List

Top Ten mistaken explanations for the acronym E.M.A.S.

We recently put out a top ten list of things EMAS could do... but apparently, some people don't even know what EMAS means. In Malay, emas means gold. Some say this is an indication of how costly the system is. A lot of people seem bothered by it. Actually, I don't know what EMAS stands for, but here are some things I'm sure it does not stand for.

Heeeeeere we go,

10. Expressway Monitoring is A Scam

9. Expensive "Mah-Piew-Po" Alternative System

8. Extra Marital Affairs Scoreboard

7. Excessive Micromanagement by Authorities of Singapore

6. Emergency Mobilisation Announcement System

5. Efforts to Misdirect the Average Singaporean

4. Enormous Mistake by Arrogant Statesman

3. Endless Manufacturing of Acronyms for Singapore

2. EMAS spelt backwards is SAME, as in "traffic conditions will remain the SAME".

And, (drumroll) the number one mistaken explanation for EMAS

1. Extra Money Anyhow Spend

[Cue music, "We Built this City" by Starship]
