Questions need to be asked about the SMRT rail crack

[winnipegjets]

What is the expect lifespan of the rail? It seems that the lifespan is shorter than the subway in other countries. Why?
Were sub-standard material used? How much was paid for this rail tracks and were the cost comparable to the tracks used in other countries? I believe then that sinkapore installed the latest technology. Question then is if it was the best then, why is it failing faster than other systems overseas?

We need answers.

SMRT: Rail crack due to corroded metal strip; overhaul of system "absolutely necessary"

alelah Abu Baker | The Straits Times | Friday, May 31, 2013

SMRT's spokesman added that the galvanic corrosion happens over time and that in this instance, routine ultrasonic and multi-functional vehicle (MFV) tests were not able to detect this defect because it was on the underside of the rail.

Goh Meng Seng, why are you not asking questions?

It will be the same question that needed to be asked for the "dengue fever death"..Who should be responsible for this crack ? Or is it "It's a honest mistake, let's move on..."

Why are people complaining

For years the PAP has mislead Sporeans into thinking the country was run like a well oiled MNC.
Now we know better. It's run by friends & relatives of the chinese owners

But we are paying top dollars for top talents. So, the expectations are higher. They sold themselves as exceptional and we thus expect exceptional.

We paid top dollars for the best subway system. But it has been acting up in the last few years? Why when older subways like HK MTR and London Underground are running just fine.

I am surprised that you don't expect more.

The PAP sold us the notions that they are perfect. They are the perfect politicians who make sacrifice to serve the country. That's why they deserve higher salaries. We believe them and thus demand perfection.

You are so right. If you want to ask questions, you make sure you vote the right people in power. You get to then ask and answer any question you want.

There shud not be any crack in or discovered in the rolling stock if manufacturing was done correctly and QC or process controlled sufficiently. Furthermore preventive maintenance n audits were properly carried out such shits shud not be happening!

SPH is gone but still driving her Ferrari n laffing her way to the bank! The paper general is still groping in the dark......... note he has siam the limelight this time round!

Unfortunately you are right. The 60% have allowed the PAP free reign to rape the country. The PAP must be aware that they are losing the support of Sporeans & that's why they are bringing in a new generation of PAP supporter.
