Re: Naming of the MRT Station @ HCI 
From: HON CHIEW WENG 11-10-08  
To: All Students 
Dear Students,

Following the announcement of the 12 stations along the alignment of 
Downtown Line Stage 2 on 15 July 08, the Land Transport Authority 
(LTA) has invited the public to contribute suggestions for the names 
of the nine Downtown Line 2 (DTL2) stations. Three names were chosen 
for each station for this public polling exercise. 

The three names proposed for the station right in front of our 
school are: Duchess, Watten and Kah Kee.

LTA has decided that no MRT station would be named after a school. 
Although the station is built on our land, they are not prepared to 
name it Hwa Chong Station. Hence we feel that the next best thing we 
could do is to try to name it after our founder Mr Tan Kah Kee, who 
bought this piece of land for our use about 90 years ago. All of you 
have benefited from his vision and generosity, I hope you would 
agree with me that we should honour him by naming the station "Kah 
Kee Station".

LTA is currently seeking public opinion on the final proposed name 
for the station, at http://talk2lta.lta.gov.sg (Click "Surveys"). 
The closing date for the public polling is 30 October 2008.

Pls invite your parents to participate in this voting exercise as 
well.

Thank you.

Hon

Actually, I prefer the name "Duchess" than "Hwa Chong" or even "Kah Kee".

Duchess. Duchess. Doesn't that sound infinitely more posh, more royal, and less cumbersome than "Kah Kee"? 

I bet the MRT station would blast Fergie songs all day. They might even invite her to do her gig there! But if you name it "Kah Kee Station", I bet Hwa Chong would want to erect another black statue of Tan Kah Kee there.

It's so egoistic, trying to claim a station to yourself. I honestly don't understand how Mr. (I mean, Dr.) Hon could think that writing Although the station is built on our land, they are not prepared to name it Hwa Chong Station. is not a humongously bigoted sentence to write, in display of the awesome Hwa Chong Communist Spirit.

I am, however, surprised that the station is built on the land of the Hwa Chong Kingdom. I wonder which part of the land are they going to erm, donate? I think it'll be really funny if they built an underpass right under and make the exit smack in the middle of the field. Then the javelin people would start hunting down those disobedient commuters who refuse to pledge obeisance to the God of Kah Kee.

I love my neo-Nazi empire, er, I mean, school. I hope they don't put me in a concentration camp, er, I mean, level assembly.
