KBW is not an engineer. He has a inter-government approved stamp on a paper that says engineering.
Do you believe an African with in a country where the most updated book is 1975 can be a high flying graduate from Havard on a government scholarhsip?

In 1973, he was awarded the Colombo Plan Scholarship from Singapore to study a combined degree program in Engineering and Commerce at the University of Newcastle in Australia. He graduated in 1977 with a Bachelor of Engineering (Honours Class I) and Bachelor of Commerce.[4]

He received his Master of Science degree in Industrial Engineering in 1982 from the National University of Singapore and received his Doctor of Engineering honoris causa from the University of Newcastle in 2002.[4]

Just heard that they are unable to isolate the issue with regard to the loss wireless transmission after the 4 days. French experts flying in. The possibility that someone is operating a new or a faulty equipment that has nothing do with SMRT in the vicinity has not been ruled out. They even went back to the previous software but still issue persist.

where u got the source

Thank you for proving my point. Paperstamped no engineering experience. NUS is not a place to do engineering.

DSO acquired the technology and training from the Israelis on signal jamming and signal tracing to thwart IEDs for the former and drones to bomb target with the latter.

wen dey utilise so much, ze coz is oways very simple ... iz a moth in ze machine ...

Wow. So impressive sounding. So the Circle Line problem will be detected and solved?

Thats what they have been doing that for the last 7 days - all trains with drivers. However they cannot switch to full manual as they need to isolate the stray signal source which is impacting the driverless automated system.

They also cannot permanently go back to drivers because it would be a massive failure and defeats the purpose of going into one. Politically a no-no.

Put in a driver and remove the wireless system can solve the problem?

As a layman, aren't the signals that is transmitted through the base stations to the receiving stations 'protected' or 'encrypted' within a signals bandwidth?..if a signal source is jamming the signals....somewhere along the line, 'someone' is jamming it right? or there is a rogue transmitter within the system?

Looks like SMRT and LTA are going around in circles and our harikari Khaw is suddenly loss for words.:biggrin:

I understand that they had to bring in the French to explain how their system works because of the modular and proprietary nature. They believe it is a stray signal and the escalation has gone all the way up.

Which is more shameful? Inability to solve the automated system or the courage to revert to manual driving?

Its poor leadership. Hiding in the hole when people are looking for answers. If he does not have the answers, he should explain the status. Not a single political or anyone from Sr Management from SMRT has spoken to the press in the last 7 days. His sister was right about this govt is the least transparent of the 3 that we had.

Looks like SMRT and LTA are going around in circles and our harikari Khaw is suddenly loss for words.:biggrin:

What if they can't trace the problem in months or ever?

They were talking of about going through the ecological sensitive MacRitchie area. Are they going to stop plans to expand the MRT system?

It's becoming obvious that the MRT technology is far above what the PAP can understand.

Don't worry if they can't trace the problem. Next election just trot out lky and nathan photos and 69.9% will do the necessary.

4 years is time enough to get over the death of the great one :smile:
By then more of the older generation who supported LKY will also have passed away.

I was watching the National Day Rally, only the part when LHL collapsed. I doubt that he will be as active in the future? Maybe assume the role of mentor minister.

There may not be enough new citizens to help the PAP stay in power because with the poor economy many will leave for greener pastures. Those that stay will probably be out of a job, or partially employed. Zika, dengue, TB,..... will be common in Spore & many will question why they need an expensive gov't like the PAP:confused:
