SHT and SMRT transcripts here - so who is lying, covering, defensive?

[Confuseous]

It doesn’t appear that SMRT is blaming the train drivers for any of their poor English. In fact, SMRT has encouraged them to make the announcements and not to worry about speaking in good English. That means to say, SMRT is fine with their drivers speaking in broken English too in times of emergency.

That being the case, so what are Minister Shanmugam and Mr Seng talking about? It seems that Mr Seng was trying to repeat what the SMRT officer was saying but did a terrible job by misquoting the officer. Mr Seng then turned around and tried to “disagree” with SMRT over a non-existent event (i.e, SMRT blaming train drivers for their poor English in SMRT’s inadequacy of the response) with Minister Shanmugam backing him. This whole Seng Han Thong’s episode is fast becoming a comedy of errors.

For gawd's sake let it go. ALL of you speak fucked up English regardless of skin colour so what damned difference does it make who said what.

The trouble is this shitskin is always coming out with his six-shooters blazing from his hips and wading straight into the fray without proper homework. And in the end he always ends up with his foot in his mouth. And the PAP thinks he is the best person to come out and do the spinning? He'll surely repent come GE2016.

Unfortunately, you do not command any moral authority.

No no no. We need to send Seng Han Tong and Shanmugam for English course speaking under the tutelage of LeongSam.
