He knows the root of the problem but dare not reveal it for fear of his rice-bowl.
That's fucking criminal collaboration with the MIW in keeping a mistake secret.

Weren't duct tapes and cable ties part of the solution?

laughed when i read that. never heard of any mrt operator in the world going back to diesel for passenger-bearing trains. in the tunnels, passengers may massively die of carbon monoxide poisoning for sure other than fuel tank exploding from occasional sparks.

The real culprit is SAF scholarship conveyor belt, churning out these nincompoops for leadership positions in GLCs and politics.

After Desmond Kuek, Ng Yat Chung, Lui Tuck Yew etc there will be a new generation. And another one. And another one.

SAF scholarship good wad. Guaranteed employment for life with excellent pay packet. Too bad my Air Levels not powerderful enough, otherwise I also apply

They need one another. MIW needs Kuek more than he needs them. The 200k/mth pay packet is sufficient for Kuek to grow his skin thick enough to ward off insults and criticisms as long as he keeps the root of the problems secret.

Better resign than to be charged if something untoward were to happen one day..........

Why should he resign when he's holding them by the baĺls. He got flattetered by Porn recently before the pay increasement.

Just saw him on the channel 8 news.
Apparently his black face and the way he explains the screw up and lapse in maintenance sounds unconvincing.

Watching some of SMRT officers explain their root cause findings of the train service disruption and the rectification to the problem, they seemed very happy and animated in explaining their knowledge of the problem and how to get the problem fixed.

Here is precisely the problem. Here we have this bunch of SMRT officer/s with a peculiar mentality that finding the cause/s to the train disruption is like given a rare chance to impress the public and management that they are the ones who could find the causes and managed to fix them, hence they showed " impressive value ".

Friend, finding the causes and fixing the problem one at a time impresses no one.

Don't wait for problem to happen and then go find the causes. This is not a treasure hunt game. You are not paid to be a QC inspector who relishes at finding the causes of a quality defect. You are paid to ensure that there is ZERO DEFECT. Go do your FMEA. You only impresses people when there is zero train service disruption.

Anyone with half a brain can bake the answer. Overloaded and overworked machines with insufficient maintenance time. 2am to 5am can check the full stretch of all rails? Eye power only, right?

These people are at the top of echelon. They know their stuff and they have the brains and the vision to analyse issues quickly and implement fixes at lightning speed.

The kind of money we are paying, we can get true top notch people from developed countries.

He was also implicitly skewered by the ST transportation reporter ...DK earned more than his counterpart in the competition with less flattering results.

DK is the poster boy of PAP-style cronynism. Opposition, I dare you to use this attack theme.

In my opinion the root cause of the problem is the way that sinkies use the MRT. The uncouth and unruly behavior is obviously causing far more wear and tear than is usually the case.

It's a sad state of affairs that the SMRT now has to factor in the behavior of the general populace into its planned maintenance schedules. :rolleyes:

Why not go deeper into the issue? Such unruly and uncouth behavior is the manifestation of stress, usually as a result of overcrowding and insufficient rest? Shall we blame it on high costs of living coupled with low wages?

No the cause of the fights is that sinkies originate from an uncultured gene pool and civilised behavior does not come naturally to most sinkies.

What is needed is a good dose of discipline. That is the only way you can govern a majority Chinese society.

Spot on.
Overload + overwork is a deadly concoction someone said.
Up till now no minister or mp dare to chide or criticize Kuek's performance.
On top of that Lui and CEO of LTA have to sit together with him to apologize.
