Blame the goverment ?

Instead of fining SMRT, LTA should demand SMRT to give free ride to all for a few month and sack the CEO and grounded her and no more hair dire for her!

 

 

No, pay those trap in the train $500 per half hour for first hour and$1000 per half hour thereafter. Those who walk down,enter and cannot get on train, pay them $50 for staff incompetance without warning commuters.

we are just simply naive!

Q:SMRT? A:Very hard

A friend from SMRT told me every train is suppose to have spare batteries that can last an hour in case of power failure

 

if your friend knows the root cause for all these breakdowns, it is time to blow the whistle!

Raymond Lim must be thinking to himself "walau, heng ah... bo wa eh dai ji"

UPS just like our car battery after 2 yrs need to change, if they din test it the result will be when needed it just doesn't power up. Base on real case 1 hour to recover is not possible.

If you are stuck inside a train, never smash the windows or force the doors open. -- PHOTO: TWITTERIf you are stuck inside a train, never smash the windows or force the doors open.

 

Stay calm and wait for help.

 

This was the advice from SMRT, a day after a massive service disruption led to about 4,000 commuters being stuck in trains that had stalled.

 

One frustrated commuter used a fire extinguisher to smash the glass on the door.

 

He should not have done so but considering the situation, he will not be penalised, SMRT officials said.

 

Senior vice-president for communications and services, Mr Goh Chee Kong, said that in the event of a power failure, there is a back-up system that will activate emergency lights within the carriages and provide ventilation.

 

If commuters have to disembark from the trains onto the tracks, the power supply will be cut off and staff deployed to guide them, he said.

 

Mr Goh said that SMRT works closely with schools and grassroots organisations to educate commuters on proper procedures to follow during an emergency.

 

Launched in 2006, the SMRT Community Emergency Preparedness programme reaches out to about 3,000 members of the public each year.

 

SMRT will continue to work closely with the community on the project, Mr Goh said

She forgot about the being accountable. We want her to step down because we have no confidence in her..In fact we aren't quite sure if she capable of fixing the problem since SMRT don't learn from mistake. Too bad we are not shareholders..

Don't think she'll heed the call to resign from us, the commoners.....she'll only do so if the SMRT board has no confidence in her and ask her to leave.....else, tang gu gu lah!!!!

Since almost all is own by government one or another way

Let's say PAP will be voted out in the next election

WP the new ruling party

So all this business will goes to WP or still PAP own?

 

Bro, you question reflects how common singaporeans have been brain-washed.

 

1. Govt don't "own" any money, they simply safeguard it and put it to use

2. PAP =/= Govt, Govt is who we voted in; may it be WP, NSP, LPPL.

 

In elections, PAP often used lift upgrading as a carrot to win votes.. Obviously, these programmes uses national (our) money.. Therefore, they use our money to buy vote for themselves and call it a "reward" to voters.
