Why the change in traffic lights timing?

Has any one who has been driving down from Upper Thomson, past Marymount Road towards Novena before 30 June 2008 in the morning felt that the timing of traffic lights has been changed at the junction of Marymount Road & Thomson Road?

I feel that it has and if that is true, I wouldn't be surprised if it's probably another attempt to try to create congestion for a legitimate excuse to either set up a new gantry or to up the 7.30am ERP rates at Thomson. Another probability is to force people to hit the other 8am ERPs down the road. To avoid this, people can only leave the house earlier. And when this happens, ERP will start even earlier. A vicious cycle, like what the papers always say. Prior to this change, traffic was smooth, no jam whatsoever. I've always been a fair person. If traffic is really heavy and action needs to be taken, so be it. But it's a different story if someone tries to create havoc when there's none. That is despicable.

Anyone with common sense will know that by deliberately shortening the time of the green light at at the junction in front of 7th day Adventist Community Ch will only serve to create a tailback all the way to Thomson Road. The cars coming from Marymount & Upper Thomson will all cross their respective traffic light junction and converge into a short road and are restricted from moving forward because of another traffic light. This may sound confusing. You probably need to be there to know what I'm referring to.

In short, the "brains" ain't that brainy afterall. You know who you are. You are a shame. Try harder, you may fool your subordinates but you can't fool me. The next sheduled change for the ERP rates are on 8 November. Let's see..
