Just rewards?

I had to read this twice to be sure that I didn't get it wrong the first time; I'm not surprised that someone wrote it, but I'm somewhat amused that Today actually decided to publish it. Hur.

Please find the logic behind the decision to have some sort of road run that closed the main roads to traffic around the CBD on Friday late afternoon and early evening. This was a brilliant plan as it created the worst traffic snarl I have seen in that area.

Obviously there is a logical and sensible reason behind this decision, and we need to reward the person who made the decision to grant a permit for whatever noble event that required it.

After all, we should be identifying such individuals in our quest to source leading thinkers and administrators who can take their rightful place whenever Singapore reaches its goal of anointing itself as a global city.

Yes, I did contact the police requesting that they try to find those responsible so that just rewards could be given.
