That's fucking criminal collaboration with the MIW in keeping a mistake secret.
SMRT insiders have informed ST that the public listed company have convened a board meeting late last night and approved plans to purchase 154 diesel-powered trains to replace the current fleet of aging trains and resolve electrical power lines issue that has plagued SMRT for years.
According to tender documents ST has received, the diesel-powered trains will be six carriages long with five passenger cabins. The last carriage carries more than 900 liters of liquid diesel fuel that could last the train for close to 3 days.
ST got in touch with SMRT Corp's Commuters Moving Group Director Mr Ma Sai di who acknowledged the ambitious S$122.5 million plan.
"We have to do it," Mr Ma said wearily. "Our primary concern is ensuring we keep moving people and enhance their lives."

And Group Director Ma Sai said: "Our primary concern is ensuring we keep moving people and enhance their lives."
I think it's more likely to protect their asses being scorched!
The real culprit is SAF scholarship conveyor belt,
One carriage with 900 litres of diesel fuel?
I am no expert but is diesel fuel combustible?
Duh! If it can't combust, how does it fuel an engine.
You certainly aren't an expert and your most certainly are a TWIT!

Very. Useful when the train driver decides to commit suicide. It seems safety now takes a back seat. Potential danger for terrorists hijacking the moving bombs not in considerations.
We've been had, Rusty. I think the article was satire.

laughed when i read that. never heard of any mrt operator in the world going back to diesel. in the tunnels, passengers may massively die of carbon monoxide poisoning for sure other than fuel tank exploding from occasional sparks.

Reminds me of the Korean airlines pilots ....
Satire or not. Did you ever hear Desmond mentioned anything about overloading and overworking on the system?
