  Well, if it's going to AMDEP, I got a feeling that it might be trial on that service again.

  Cheers.

  SMRT shouldn't always give AMDEP take care, should put under WLDEP and on WRI svcs to try at least. If not WLDEP will forever no need to get demos liao.

  Spotted Zhongtong at Bedok North Ave 1 this afternoon.... Rego SMB137A already up... However, it is still using the trade plate, which is inside the bus itself.

  Agree too... It actually looks more like a european design than chinese or malaysian design. Wonder if there are rims guards that they havent installed yet. Could look even nicer with some shiny rims guards.
