Commuters' reactions to SMRT's apology over train disruption

SINGAPORE : Many commuters Channel NewsAsia spoke with have responded positively to SMRT's apology over Thursday night's train disruption.

But they added that more needs to be done to ensure a repeat of Thursday night's incident does not occur.

One commuter said: "This is not the first time this thing has happened, and I think the most important thing is to take action. You can apologise a few times, but in the end, what we expect, as commuters, is a smooth experience."

Another commented: "You can't expect everything to work all the time, so since this happened and SMRT apologised, if it doesn't happen again then I am sure that is fine."

A third noted: "I think their apology was sincere and from the heart, because they handled it the best way that they could. Sometimes when there are mechanical breakdowns, it is beyond human control."

On calls for SMRT chief executive officer (CEO) Saw Phaik Hwa to step down, some said it is unnecessary.

One commuter noted: "It is a knee-jerk reaction. Overall, I think SMRT has been doing a good job, so I do not think the CEO needs to step down..."

Another added: "If you are going to ask the (CEO) to step down after one problem has happened, yes I know it is a big problem, but if it has happened, and SMRT is going to do something about it, then give the person a chance I suppose?"

However, one person said: "If stepping down can help improve the situation, then why not?

This is called 'PR management' and 'damage control'. It happens anywhere.

Of course, in this case it leaves a fouler taste in the mouth, because the SPH/Mediacorp News presstitutes are renowned pro-establishment running dogs. They don't even try to be subtle about their spin jobs.

They should of man up and apologise unreservedly. Commuters should organize themselves and focking sent them a 8D report to fill in. I've wrote enough of these and it gives me no end of pleasure to know I won't have to anymore.

2.5% discount on their salaries? Good bargain!

Seriously, I don't think the reporter has any other ways than to report this as such.

Imagine, if he/she had gone with a street interview, then the response would look like :
Mr Tan "?><X#$$$#@ SMRT...."
Ms Liew "%^@$$ late because *$#"
Robin "##@#**ing"

Cannot print, so we understand. Really.

Looking at the positive responses here so far, yes, I've indeed been trolled by the MSM!

 

[HedgeTrader]

Rubbish reporting. Respond positive is lanjiao. Respond negative is cheebye :oIo:

I think SPH has more clones than this forum!

If you read Yahoo news, 100% comments shot down the CEO. Again, never trust anything that msm printed, you will be short-changed for real news and ground sentiments. CNA & SPH are boring sex toys of PAP to help massage their master's balls, so don't waste time on them.:oIo:

This fucktard and the rest of the fucktards interviewed in this report would be given 1 year free train rides by SMRT to thank them for being model commuters...

What SMRT should do is to strike off the distance from Marina Bay to Toa Payoh from its fare computation for one year. That is fair.

 

[no_faith]

another bogus report or it is the 60% who are commenting.:oIo:

see lidat next GE, still pay and pay. sinkies arseholes are being stretched.:oIo:

 

[rodent2005]

"One commuter said" ... "another commented" ... "a third noted" ... enough said of such rubbish reporting.

When our solar system have two suns, maybe!
