Transport Minister Lui Tuck Yew said on Thursday night the Land Transport Authority will assemble a team of experts to conduct a 'thorough health check' of the MRT system.
(LKY once famously said we are paying premium because we have men with vision in the cabinet, who can foretell problems)
Mr Lui, who is in Cambodia, noted in a post on his Facebook page that 'there have been a number of train disruptions in recent days'.
(Really, Mr Lui, what a surprise! And only in recent days right?)
'I do not know if these are isolated incidents or whether there are systemic and more serious underlying issues causing these breakdowns.'
(With all the problems in recent months, we are not sure whether this is an isolated incident? What frequency of breakdowns if classified as 'isolated' Mr Minister? And with multi-million dollar salaries taken by you and your Cockerel Red Head CEO you have not even instigated to find out what is happening?
His ministry will therefore conduct a 'thorough health check' of the MRT train system to determine how the faults happened, he said.
(I really don't know what to say, beyond saying that everytime something like that happens, all our ministers say they will do a health check).
It will also look into whether the maintenance, communication and recovery processes were adhered to and how these can be further improved.
(What the fark are we paying the CEO for? Nothing much to 'look into' Mr Lui - just read press reports of the Brothel Press Holdings and you have half the answers).
To do so, he has asked the LTA to assemble a team of relevant experts, including possibly overseas experts, to help conduct the review.
(Why are we even deciding on having FT experts when the committee has not been formed, the terms of reference not decided, let alone whether there is a gap in the expertise of the compostion of the committee).
Mr Lui said he was following Thursday night's MRT breakdown from Cambodia, where he is attending the 17th Asean Transport Ministers' Meeting and associated meetings with Asean Dialogue Partners in Phnom Penh.(Follow, huh, instead of given leadership. Hello, you Follower or Leader, Mr Lui?
'I am especially concerned over the well-being of the people who were reported to be trapped in the trains for an extended period of time before they made their way to safety,' he said. (Talk is cheap. What did you instruct to minimise the well-being of the travellers? Or were you and still are in the dark?)
Late on Thursday night, LTA deputy chief executive Lim Bok Ngam said the recent series of disruptions were 'indeed worrisome'.
(FCUK me! 'Worrisome' is all they can say? Worrisome for what? That his fcuking bonus will be cut? Come to think of it, if I am not good enough to be minister, I can walk into the LTA deputy CEO position).
The LTA will investigate the cause and engage an expert team to determine the underlying issues, he said.
(Which template are you using now, for such situations? Template # 47?)
He added: 'Obviously, from public feedback tonight, SMRT must do much more in their communications to the public to provide timely onsite information to help commuters make decisions on what alternative transport best suits them in the event of a disruption of this nature.'
