unnecessarily travel...... huh???

'But I'm not in favour of subsidising transport because then you will unnecessarily travel,' he said.

'In this way we impose on every individual the responsibility for his life,' he added.

Does the above first sentence make sense? Is there something wrong in the way it was written or phrased? I am not an expert in english but something sounds really wrong in "unnecessarily travel" Anyway, this sentence was spoken by some important person up at the top.. But ask you people, if your public transportation is subsidised, will u spend more money to travel unnecessarily because it will be cheaper? I dun think so. Ppl just want to get from Point A to B without any fuss and ASAP. Who in the right mind will purposely "unnecessarily travel" from A to B? Is "unnecessarily travel" the best reason he/she can give to the masses for not subsidising transportation?

Second sentence is very well said!! An individual should be responsible for his life, be it for himself, family, or country. So why prolonged our CPF monies!!!!!???? Just give the money back to us when we need it or deem fit and let us decide how we will use our retirement funds!!! Anyone read the new CPF structure that was just announced today? It was on the papers. Who is confused? I think everyone is confused. Is that a "if u cannot persuade them, confuse them!" tactic? Because seriously, i am literate, and i admit i do not understand how the structure actually works. Not everyone speaks politics in Singapore! How do they expect the masses to understand deh!!!!???

oh that is not called "unnecessarily traveled". that is called "unnecessarily confusion caused by unnecessary people working the the transportation sector" by making things complicated..
