Until there is accountability at Ministerial and Management Level, no Improvements

[Confuseous]

For all the hype about Singapore having a “first world” public transport system, our frequent train breakdowns and service lapses easily relegate our system to third world status.

You can make up the propaganda about the Singapore system (in particular, its public transport system) being clean and efficient, but you can’t make up the statistics. There have a grand total of 8 trains disruptions on the MRT Circle Line since its phased opening in 2009. The Circle Line’s chequered history include a construction tunnel collapse in 2004 which killed four people, and a construction site cave-in in 2008.

You’d think these incidents can only happen in poorer countries where construction companies use inferior raw materials and employ substandard construction practices

The people of SINgapore, we the citizens...must be accountable to the party in power, not the other way round, this had been going on for 5 decades, that is why; we are called "lesser mortals". 60% just don't get the picture.:p
