Will this affect the bonus payout of ex-Major General Desmond Kuek?

For every Major disruption, his bonus should be reduced by a quantum.

WTF is someone from a completely unrelated industry heading such a crucial service? And doing a pretty fucked job as it is ....

I really admire the way that the government responds to adversity.

They do so with enthusiasm and professionalism.

Desmond is handling this incident extremely well. The whole MRT technical team has been mobilised, SMRT has been forthright and timely in its updates and the problem is well on its way to being resolved.

He deserves a commendation and a bonus for his good work.

It is the pap policy to have all major organisations in Singapore controlled by pap members. All other considerations like related industry, etc are secondary. This is not news. Even John Tan, fellow grassloot leeder of Yang Yin, will concur.

Yup, to show good P/L, they cut cost that may have embedded a problem into the system which caus long term breakdowns, that they now find it difficult to eradicate. Just like our economic and social fabric now.
