Mass resignations at SMRT in the last 8 months

After the company's chief corporate officer Gerard Koh resigned, no less than 30 executives who worked in the company’s human resource department, across different levels, have left SMRT in the last eight months

Singapore—SMRT, the leading multi-modal public transport operator in Singapore, has seen an exodus of over thirty human resources executives and senior engineers within the last eight months, which is a puzzlingly high attrition rate.
In April 2018, Desmond Kuek, the company’s CEO left his position after six years with the company, a tenure marked by turbulence. Mr Kuek has since gone on to become the vice-chairman for Swiss investment bank UBS.
During Mr Kuek’s time, the number of train breakdowns rose to an appalling high. Other incidents that occurred during that time included a collision in Joo Koon, a tunnel flood at Bishan that slowed train services, and an accident near Pasir Ris MRT, which ended with two dead SMRT employees.

Shortly after Mr Kuek stepped down at SMRT, it was Gerard Koh’s turn to resign. Mr Koh had been the chief corporate officer in charge of IT, procurement, HR and training.
Mr Koh is the head of HR at information technology group NCS at present.
Mr Koh’s resignation seemed to have opened the floodgates, because after he left SMRT, no less than 30 executives who worked in the company’s human resource department, across different levels, have left SMRT in eight months, according to a report from the Straits Times (ST).

Case in point: Lee Yem Choo, a former Singapore Armed Forces colonel, helmed SMRT’s Thomson-East Coast Line division’s HR department, stepped down after less than one year in his position.
Moreover, two engineers— Chia Chun Wah, a senior vice-president of maintenance and engineering, and another individual who had been the head of Singapore Rail Engineering, the business unit set up by Mr Kuek in 2014 to build and market the company’s engineering expertise, also resigned in the same time period.
One individual from the firm’s corporate communications department had also resigned as well. The ST report states that the department as a whole has been affected by resignations, but the exact number of people has not been made known.
Elaine Koh, the company’s chief commuter engagement officer who stepped into the position in the company that had just been created, also resigned after having been with SMRT for a little more than one year. She will be replaced by David Yeo, the firm’s head of strategic communications, effective May 1.
The same ST report says that additional resignations are expected to occur after the annual bonus is given in May.
On its part, the company says it had “streamlined and reassigned headcount from corporate headquarters,” which does not say much about the recent exodus of company staff.

“As we are continually strengthening the organisation to enhance train performance and reliability, we have streamlined and reassigned headcount from corporate headquarters,” a spokesperson for SMRT said to ST.
The current head of SMRT is former army general Neo Kian Hong, the company’s CEO./TISG

Services were affected at Raffles Place MRT yesterday after a power fault occurred a few minutes before a fire was reported to have broken out at the station.
The power fault was the first of three that struck the SMRT-operated North-South and Circle lines, resulting in slow train services between Newton and Marina South Pier, and Marina Bay and Bayfront, yesterday morning.
The fire was extinguished before firemen arrived, said the Singapore Civil Defence Force, which was alerted to the incident at about 4.55am. The cause of the equipment-related fire is under investigation.
SMRT did not comment on whether the fire was related to the power fault which happened at 4.45am. That fault slowed services between Newton and Marina South Pier to a crawl. SMRT said at around 6.30am that travel times would be lengthened by 30 minutes. Free bus services were also activated.
SMRT said its engineers rectified the fault and normal service resumed progressively from 7.25am.
The power fault on the Circle Line at around 7.35am halted services between Marina Bay and Bayfront, prompting SMRT to again activate buses.


The fault on this stretch was resolved just before 8am and services progressively resumed.

At 8.26am, SMRT said a power fault on the North-South Line halted services between Marina South Pier and Orchard. This was related to the earlier power fault on the line recurring, said SMRT.
Free bus services between Marina South Pier and Newton were activated and commuters were also advised to seek alternative transport.
SMRT said at 8.50am that the fault had been fixed and services were being restored.
It is uncommon for two lines to be affected by a series of power faults.
Commuters The Straits Times spoke to complained of chaos at the affected stations.
Mr Sunny Tay, 55, said he was directed by SMRT staff to several different platforms at City Hall station.
He spent about an hour shuttling between the different platforms in search of a train that would take him to Orchard MRT station.
Mr Tay finally boarded a train at about 8am, but a few minutes later an announcement said the service could not depart and passengers had to alight. He ended up taking a bus to Orchard.

"I was very fed up and frustrated," said Mr Tay, a supervisor at an engineering firm, adding that the delay caused him to be an hour late for work.
Another commuter, who wanted to be known only as Ms Rush, said she was also given the wrong instructions at City Hall station.
A staff member had directed her to a train bound for Novena station but it returned to City Hall after setting off from the station.
"The least they can do is give accurate information to avoid further delays for us," said Ms Rush.

SINGAPORE - Two MRT lines were hit by power faults on Sunday morning (May 26).
One occurred at the Raffles Place MRT station on the North-South Line at 4.45am with a second incident on the Circle Line at around 7.35am.
Transport operator SMRT said the power fault at Raffles Place MRT affected train services once they began.
A fire also broke out at the station at around the same time but was extinguished before firemen arrived, said the Singapore Civil Defence Force.
The cause of the equipment-related fire is under investigation.
SMRT did not comment on whether the fire was related to the power fault.
