Is the FAP trying to seal its own fate in the coming GE? But then again, who knows, the 60% may like the idea!

[h=1]LTA: NS men will have to help SMRT and SBS out with train disruptions[/h]admin / 15 hours ago August 21, 2015





The Singapore Land Transport Authority (LTA) today announced that they will be able to activate National Servicemen NS men to help with crowd control in train disruptions. The Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) have agreed to this abuse of the use of state resources to help the two private public transport operators, SMRT and SBS, manage the crowd.

In times of train breakdown, crowd control personnel are supposed to be deployed by the two transport operators SMRT and SBS. The LTA claimed that just because state resources like the Police, Civil Defence Force and the Public Transport Security Command (Transcom) are already in use, they have every right to access the Singapore army.

PAP MP Alex Yam also weighed in and support the use of NS men:

“Deploying SAF personnel at MRT stations is not entirely new as soldiers are already put in key installations like Jurong Island and Changi Airport to conduct patrols. They also have experience in crowd control during mega national events like the National Day Parade. Transcom already has a sizeable pool of officers, so activating military men will not be the first course of action. It is a last resort.”

Why not have reservist mob manning for breakdown too?

Build some barracks next to MRT stations, so the NS slaves can be readily activated.

Yeah dumbass... MRT stations are not key installations, or as the lingo goes, 'facilities of strategic interest'. Security and security clearance are very high in those places for obvious reasons.

Please stop torturing those NS boys for the failings of Lee Hsien Loong's policies. :kma:
