Chitchat Repeat of Desmond's SAF Inflow of 2012, this time with DSTA

[scroobal]

In 2012, Desmond brought in his own team from his ex-SAF days post COI 2011

In the last few months, there has been inflow of ST and DSTA all from Aunty Ho's World. What is going to be achieved with the same approach?

SINGAPORE: A team of five engineers from the Defence Science and Technology Agency (DSTA) will be attached to SMRT Trains from December this year to help review and improve train maintenance, said the transport operator on Thursday (Nov 9).

The attachment will be for a period of up to six months, and the team will review and recommend improvements to SMRT's operations and support capability.

"The attachment of engineers follows on a pledge by SMRT Trains to pull in the best engineering talent in Singapore to support the company’s commitment to serve commuters better," said the transport operator in a media release.

SMRT is under pressure to improve its processes after its investigation found that a maintenance team in charge of a water pump system at Bishan MRT hadfalsified records, signing off on works that were not done.

It led to flooding along a stretch of the North-South line tunnel on Oct 7, suspending train services for 20 hours.

The DSTA engineers, with their competency in delivering capabilities for Singapore's defence and security, have "the know-how to manage complex engineering projects from concept to deployment, through to mid-life upgrades and replacement", said SMRT.


It added that the Taipei Rapid Transit Corporation will be sending a team to conduct a review and examine the way it operates and maintains the MRT network.

"SMRT continues to be inclusive and open to ideas from industry and engineering experts, to improve rail system reliability," it said.

What an ugly bunch.

it's said that people generally take on the semblance / attributes of their professions eg ter bak looks for a butcher, street hookers with that cfm look expecting to be asked how much, engrs like these who look like the hardware they use and hope to have the same in their pants, or even one that winks to passersby for approval when sitting on a seatless basikal whilst deriving pleasure etc :p

So far then movement in last 3 months from Aunty Ho's World
1. Lee Fook Sun
2. Seah Moon Ming
3. Richard Kwok
plus the 5 DTSA Engineers. So 8 so far.

Why are we raiding the defence sector to prop up a commercial entity? This is highly embarrassing.

I don't think "embarassing" is a word that one would find associated with the Establishment.

Us common folk will usually say: buay pai seh. Or more bluntly: nin-nao-hia! buay kia lang du-lan!

The last time Systems Engineers were called in by Dr Goh to reform the Education system, they did untold damage to hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions of kids. Amongst the SEs was none other than Auntie Ho.

With DSTA's equivalent of Tony Stark and Bruce Banner joining SMRT, we can expect the train faults to be permanently solved. Majulah Singapura! Majulah PAP!
