Desmond Kuek must go. 3 month old Trainees dying is not acceptable

[enterprise2]

There were 15 staff at the track!! Doesn't take a rocket scientist to see the safety track is too narrow to accommodate such a crowd!

[GoldenDragon]

objectively speaking, ho ching is responsible. smrt standards dropped when the butch took over. fb of ho ching. the problems we have today were all caused during her time.

Can bet their SOP does not cover OJT on the track! Prob no proper Risk Assessment! So their safety procedures not watertight after all. This kinda thing, u can go after Des and maybe Khaw!

Apparently something similar also happened in 2010.

This issue is systemic

the thai girl who lost both legs must be saying karma is bitch

Desmond Quack is really a bad joke that has been going far too long.

This is not a knee jerk reaction. What kind of management allows 2 trainees within 3 months of joining a company be placed in such position that they have lost their lives. There is no act of God here, no wind, no storm etc that could have contributed to this tragedy. Again I suspect that it is poor procedures.

Desmond has been with the SMRT since 1 Oct 2012 and his last drawn salary was $2.25. When he came in he was allowed to bring in his own team and except for two, the rest were from the SAF with no prior experience in the industry. If he had brought in at least half of them who are in this industry it would have been acceptable. Does he need 10 years to fix the SMRT.

There has to be independent inquiry and not another bullshit eyewash exercise where lower ranking stuff are disciplined and we are then told that they have accepted their punishment. And why is he paid much higher than other GLC chiefs with firms that are valued much higher.

Singapore system is not based on MERIT..

1. Saw Phiak Hwa...no technical or engineering experience can be CEO of a National Transport
company..A mere duty free sale girl can helm such important post. Why PM LHL does
not intercede until much later when damage is done after 9 years of disrepair. He is sleeping
on his job..??

2. Ho Ching....no financial experience can run our billion dollar books. Just because LKY wants a good
night sleep with her in charge.

3. Wong Kan Seng, a dim-wit can be a deputy PM.. On Mas Selamat ..He is either in Singapore or
he is not in Singapore. We cannot think of one contribution from this bloke.

Tell us..What are the merits of the above three..???

I saw the animation on CNA. I dont know how accurate it is but if it is not, then it is misleading and doesnot help the case.

In the animation over TV news, 15 men were sent and were seen running or walking briskly towards the junction box where the supervisor will arrive at to switch off the power. According to the clip, the supervisor was front most, followed by the two deceased, and 12 others Indian file.

To me it is strange and weird that the supervisor in front was not touched by the oncoming train, neither were the 12 others behind the 2 dead. So whats going on? Remember they were shown running in single file.

We now have 13 key witnesses. I hope they speak their minds.

Be careful, [GoldenDragon], otherwise, those individuals may initiate legal proceedings against you.

PAP's version of meritocracy is mediocrity. If you are the selected one, your mediocrity will lead you high up the chain. That's why Desmond gets his pay doubled even after major breakdowns of MRT.

 

[winnipegjets]

and that was tough! he succeeded.

He exceeded expectation! More train breakdowns under him, including the major one. He also got his pay doubled despite those fiasco.

PAP's meritocracy definitely made Desmond rich!

The Workers’ Party offers our deepest condolences to the families and friends of the two SMRT maintenance workers, Nasrulhudin Najumudin and Muhammad Asyraf Ahmad Buhari, who passed away in an accident earlier today.

We are greatly saddened that the two workers had died in the line of duty.

This accident tragically highlights the hard work that maintenance and service workers put into making our public transport system operate efficiently. Thank you and please keep safe.

Dr Daniel Goh*
Chair, Media Team
The Workers’ Party

Because the WP, the Opposition in Parliament, did not voice issues regarding the SMRT and its mediocre management aggressively, that contributed to the needless death of these two workers.
