Lui: Gov't accepts share of blame for December breakdowns

[Confuseous]

Transport Minister Lui Tuck Yew has admitted that the Ministry of Transport and the Land Transport Authority (LTA) have fallen short in their responsibilities to keep train operator SMRT in check.

Addressing the recent Committee of Inquiry (COI) findings in Parliament on Tuesday, Lui said the two do share part of the blame in the twin MRT disruptions in December last year that affected more than 200,000 commuters.

He said that it is the responsibility of the ministry to ensure that the LTA does what it is supposed to do -- which is in turn to ensure that the public transport operators (PTOs) deliver standards expected of them.

And then? You say you take some blame and LTA swear they will improve. Then what? Honest mistake and lets move on again?

Now I know LTA is run by ghosts - faceless, nameless and blameless.

Borrow, those are 'sacred chariots', you touch them, the 'lightning god' will strike you down!

 

[Kohliantye]

Please lah Stef

Even a PTE is a respectable rank within the Army.

Some are even more intelligent then their GAYNERALS.

How can you demote him to that rank.

He should be given a DISHONOURABLE DISCHARGE

What can we expect from Admiral Lui? He agreed to be paid millions to take on a job for which he was wholly unqualified for and one in which he had totally no work experience in.

From the time Admiral Lui joined the PAPzis, he has been rewarded to the tune of $15million. Come the next GE, he will add another $10million into his asset holdings. ALl this from taxpayers, tax free for someone who has absolutely no work experience for the job he undertakes. From his time being a minister and overseeing laughable exploits at MDA he now brings his lack of expertise and experience to the transport ministry.

He is a fucktard and a useless scum for taking on a job for which he has no experience in. Only a greedy scum will accept such a job at the expense of the entire country. The ah qua pink fucktard is to blame for putting this useless water buffalo to care for the transport system in Singapore. The entire PAPzi system where they play musical chairs with the largely useless ministers is a failed system that has cost the country billions of dollars in productivity and prevented real economic growth through innovation.

You vote for the PAPzis, you vote for a failed system.

Since they are paid according to performance and performance is lacking as we can see, shouldn't we demand that they repay what ever bonuses they received.
