In his blog post, Minister Lawrence Wong wrote, "Over the past few weeks, I've met and spoken to many Singaporeans who support the vision of a car-life and people-friendly city… But if we want a future city that's cleaner and greener, and provides an even better quality of life for all, we must start to make changes now."
在个人博客中,黄循财部长这样写道:“在过去的几周里,我遇到了、并和很多支持汽车生活、支持建设友好城市的人进行了交流。但是,如果我们想要一个未来更加干净、更加绿色,为所有人提供了一个更好的生活质量的城市,那么我们必须从现在开始做出改变。”
This six-month pilot will be held on the last Sunday of each month from February to July.
