Too bad then when there's no urgency to complete the replacements. That's what you get for procrastinating. Covid measures ended more than a year liao

According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kawasaki_Heavy_Industries_C151, it will be decommissioned by 2026.  No source to verify.

According to https://yourstudent-gemini.fandom.com/wiki/C151#:~:text=As of July 2024%2C out,17 were decommissioned and scrapped., 17 has been scrapped.

I never complain leh ...

To be fair to LTA and our paper generals, 1st gen trains were scheduled to decommission since 2021 ... question is, why 2024 still not complete?

Means their original write-off period was 30yrs and since then they have been sucking profit from free hardware.

OR the write-off period was shorter and they've been sucking us for longer.

Instead of refurbished trains bought in the 90s, LTA made the decision to scrap these trains gradually.

Therefore, Kawasaki train which had been refurbished 3 times will continue its service until replacement train arrived.

That's a different case, when you CAPEX there is a started write-off period in the accounts. 

I suppose for this scale ~20yrs may be normal but any refurbishing is expected over that period as parts become obsolete.

Based on LTA FS, train depreciation could be 30 years.

Yah, it's like my company red tape where have to seek approvals from multiple parties before can do anything... And after u get all the approvals that u know of, proceed to do and then something goes wrong, suddenly another party surface that say that they were not consulted and should have sought their approval also..

Every big company is like that one.

Agreed...sometimes someone in charge of capex wants to impress the boss by stretching the machine lifespan to show good OP...or let it fail until boh pian then can ask for more budget for better upgrade or replacement...in corporate world it is liddat one...pawns to kio sai...😂
