The Committee of Inquiry (COI) assigned to investigate the two serious train disruptions on the North-South MRT line last December has revealed its sober findings, which point to gross negligence on the part of SMRT.
In its report which was made public on Wednesday, the COI cited severe deficiencies in SMRT’s maintenance regime. Furthermore, the COI was of the opinion that the major train disruptions could have been prevented had SMRT done its job right.
The failure does not lie with just SMRT and LTA, but with the government for allowing this to happen, for allowing the problems to fester for so many years even though people were providing feedback all the time.
If SMRT has become a failed enterprise and the good of consumers has been trampled upon, it is because the government has allowed privatization without sufficient oversight and regulation.
