James Cruiser Its no nuclear science, overpopulation causes this meltdown. Concern is of no consequences, the consequence is accelerated aging, infrastructure over stretched, hospital beds 2 days waiting time!!! Obviously population white paper have to be veto.

Jenny Quek Why is LTA paying for the external consultants and not the SMRT? I'm "extremely concerned" because the commuters eventually will be made to pay for both yours and Desmond Kuek's failures.

Anger towards Lui Tuck Yew at this point is legitimate, but don't forget the dunce who appointed him:

This dunce had also endorsed a mad population policy which undoubtedly caused a strain on the infrastructure, including the MRT system.

Please don't look away and cut Lee Hsien Loong some slack simply because he's the son of your beloved ah gong.

Don't hack at the branches of the problem. Strike at the root.

That's right! Go for the jugular! Let's appoint Captain GMS to chiong the front at AMK GRC!

Opposition parties call for answers



Opposition parties questioned the crippling breakdown of MRT train services on Tuesday, noting that a more stringent maintenance regime and other measures were to have been in place after two breakdowns in December 2011 prompted a committee of inquiry to be set up.

The Workers' Party (WP) said the disruption of both the North-South and East-West lines raised questions "about our transport system's resilience, particularly as such a system-wide failure could have repercussions on our nation's economic and national security interests".

"This is despite billions of dollars of government funds being pumped into improving the existing MRT infrastructure since 2011," WP said on its website yesterday.

"Even as the LTA (Land Transport Authority) and SMRT work together with their engineers and external consultants to identify the precise cause of the breakdown, we find it particularly troubling that two of our country's main rail lines can be fully disrupted by what appears to be an electrical fault."

A more rigorous maintenance regime must be enforced, "with effective measures in place to ensure that commuters' interests take precedence over corporate profits". Concrete performance indicator targets must be set and made public.

The WP praised the staff, many of whom worked through the night.

The Reform Party said yesterday the Government must explain why it is "still no nearer to fixing the serious problems with the MRT". It called for an independent committee of inquiry to probe the cause and for an independent public transport regulator to replace the LTA.

Singapore People's Party's Jeannette Chong-Aruldoss, citing the 2012 inquiry, said in a Facebook post on Wednesday that the authorities must give a full account of the steps taken to implement its recommendations. She urged SMRT chief executive Desmond Kuek to commit to a pay freeze, and for train fares not to be increased until these are fully implemented.

There were over 30 recommendations, including improving the prevention and detection of problems related to trains, and improving the way incidents are managed.

Singapore Democratic Party noted on Wednesday that Transport Minister Lui Tuck Yew did not rule out passenger overload as a possible cause for repeated breakdowns, and called on the Government to review the policy of bringing more foreigners to live and work here.

Why blame this dunce alone? blame the dunces who voted for him & endorsed him!...can't blame the "chicken" & not the "egg"..the stupid ' 60% rotten eggs".:p

no no believe the cost/expenditure .
when they tell u it is 10 millions , u can safely deduct 20 30% .

u no no believe , one example is cost of building a bus stand along a road.

 

[frenchbriefs]

it is godzilla!!!!godzilla has awaken in the indian ocean and each time it stomps it sends off a powerful electromagnetic pulse wave shutting down electrical systems and a mini tsunami earthquake!!!!

A good opposition leader would question why the SMRT CEO has his compensation doubled? And educate sinkees on the PAP's Meritocracy is equivalent to Mediocrity PAP Style.

When such massive SMRT breakdown occurred, meritocracy flew out of the window. Obviously, when the top guy sleeps, the workers below the ladder hibernate as well. Can human sabotage be ruled out? Are the pappies looking into this angle as well?

You finally figured it out. It was the WP. They know that sabotage now will bring them more votes.

....he will lose his deposit..for sure.

Not possible, leh. Locals will not sabo their own country....imported shitizens may be, Ass-Pee-R and other foreigners very likely... who expressed desire to take over the island. By creating chaos, dissatisfaction, frustration among the people against the Govt.

 

[zhihau]

....he will lose his deposit..for sure.

If it were GMS vs LHL @ AMK, I'll vote for GMS.

 

[bigboss]

Now it's a show hand by Desmond & LTA. They are telling LHL and Lui to find the root of the problems themselves or engage independent consultants to do it. How bold.... 2 generals against 2 ministers.
Now the generals ganged up to squeeze LHL balls tighter...sack me if you dare.

If they needed independent consultants to look into the breakdowns, why are the top guys at the Transport Ministry, LTA and SMRT still kept in their posts? Sit on their fat arse and pray for another breakdown not to occur?

Surely, some heads should roll for this massive fiasco.

 

[bigboss]

If it were GMS vs LHL @ AMK, I'll vote for GMS.

LHL got the porlumpars all over AMK GRC... like an army of troopers..... to campaign for him. GMS got only his own balls to por. See the difference?

 

[rusty]

If it were GMS vs LHL @ AMK, I'll vote for GMS.

My whole family will also vote for GMS. Frankly it's not the candidate we are voting.

They will be no head to roll. All of them knew the root of the problems.
