Referring to recent issues plaguing Singapore’s MRT system, Home Affairs and Law Minister K Shanmugam said he was confident that Transport Minister Khaw Boon Wan “will sort things out”.
In a post written on Thursday night after two trains collided at Joo Koon Station injuring 29 people, Shanmugam said Khaw had made “significant improvements” since going to the Ministry of Transport in October 2015.
“Since then there have been significant improvements, building on the good work of his predecessor, Min Lui Tuck Yew. Of especial note, Min Khaw has moved to strengthen the engineering teams,” wrote Shanmugam.
Shanmugam added that Khaw volunteered to go to the Ministry of National Development in 2011 to sort out Singapore’s housing issues. Shanmugam said, “I remember him telling me: ‘Housing is the Government’s signature success. And how can we let that drift.’ So he asked to go to MND, and within four years, got the job done.
