What is Street Smart Engineers? - MRT need them now

[eatshitndie]

sinkie street smart means hiring banglas to do the dirty job and jiuhukia to face the music while finding idle time to text atb mistresses, lim kopi and shake legs at atas airconned cafe.

smrt is now a cesspool for retrenched engineers will to join and be axed again becos bosses refused to lift their fingers to help them. any street smart engineer would avoid them like blackerest plaque

He is painting this as an engineering problem when it is a management and leadership issue. Faulty trains procured, maintenance records falsified, faulty inspections, procedures not followed that led to 2 trainee deaths having nothing to do with engineering.

Even if it is an engineering problem, is he suggesting that SMRT engineers are not good as those in Taiwan and HK?

He should just resign and accept that he cannot lead in this space and someone who is more capable should step in.

This cow cert must have been bought. Street smart engineers caused this problem. Engineering with today's machines are very methodical and leveraged by maintained by other machines. All these happened because street smart asses say no need as many problems will be discovered and doctoring documents will show only the good things.

Street Smart Engineers means Engineers who did not finished their university degrees?

ive come across graduate foreign talents who cant read nor write proper english at all and their works is played by the ear

What fucking nonsense is he spewing now? SMRT desperately stand down all transmitting devices when they couldn't solve the 'mysterious' intermittent signal problems in the Circle Line not long ago. It took some experts in the signal trade not 'street smart' engineers to solve it didn't they?

Singapore rail system needs more street-smart engineers: Khaw Boon Wan

SINGAPORE - Singapore's rail system needs more "rat catchers" - a reference to street-smart engineers, Transport Minister Khaw Boon Wan said in a blog post following a train disruption on Monday (Oct 26) morning.

Addressing the two-hour train breakdown on the North-East Line, Mr Khaw wrote in a blog post titled Catching Rats that "such breakdowns tarnish our reputation, and we are re-doubling our efforts to improve train reliability".

"Singaporeans deserve better," he added.

In the post, he shared an e-mail that he had received from Mr Tan Gee Paw, the chairman of national water agency PUB. Mr Khaw recently asked Mr Tan to be his adviser on rail transformation.

In the e-mail, Mr Tan wrote that to deal with frequent breakdowns, the agencies involved have to "go beyond codes of practice and do preventive risk analysis on the entire system".

He wrote: "To do this, we need to engage street-smart, sharp-eyed practising engineers in systems engineering for rails alongside the third party consultant.

"They are the ones who will walk through the system and spot the risky parts of the system, beyond the codes of practice and alert us on what modifications must be made urgently."

Mr Tan calls these engineers "rat catchers", due to an experience in the 1980s.

"We worked alongside top German consultants to design our first refuse incineration plant that generates electricity. All parts were meticulously designed to the established codes of practice. A year later, the whole plant suffered a massive total shut down. A rat had tried to jump across two bus bars and short circuited the entire plant. The bus bars were spaced according to standards, but no one was sharp-eyed enough to think a rat would jump across," he said in his e-mail.

hard to believe the pub story. You mean the meticulous standards allow for rats, big ones at that, to roam about freely? What standard is that? Sounds like a story from down the pub.
