Everytime the SMRT wants to raise the train fares to better serve Singaporeans and provide a truly world class transport system for Singapore, the Workers Party will oppose the fare hikes just to score cheap political points. I am sick of this politicking! Due to the opposition SMRT face in raising the fares to reasonable levels, the company was forced to cut costs and the result was SMRT train breakdowns. The real culprit behind the train breakdowns is therefore the Workers Party!
ex-SMRT staff on why SMRT breaks down...
The problem all started when the Sr staffs were retrenched, resigned, retired and asked to leave. When she took over how many senior staff with years of experience and trained by experts from Japan, England and Hong Kong that did not agreed with her was removed and replaced with young people with paper qualifications and have not the slightest idea of how to run a train system. There these young management staff tried to impress her by backstabbing each other, come out with hairbrain ideas or quick fix solutions that did not sound in the long run. Well guess what after 10 years of this type of sh.it from a well oiled and smooth running system she ran it to the ground. Mark my words as long as she is in the helm surrounded by her clueless dogs there will be no improvment.
That was the time I took a serious look at my retirement plan. Then came her waves of cost cutting measures, buying of cheap spares that looks good on paper but can't even last till the next round of preventive maintainance, reduce the manpower to all sections working at skeleton crew level. The last straw came when some of my junior staffs was not satisfied with the way they were graded and the amount they got compare to what their bosses got. They brough it up to the union and HR and they got the same reply " The door is always open". That was when I knew the sh.it has hit the ceiling and I took my earily retirment and joined my fellow former co-workers.

SMRT is a reflection of what is going on in Spore:( There is plenty of dead wood in the Spore political system making many times what the US president is making. This is not sustainable & eventually Spore will implode.
