Announcement was kept on playing at the stations and on train that the service will be slower today due to track monitoring... As reported the train will be travelling at 40km/h but when I was on it from Kallang to Raffles Place, I dun even think the train is going at 40km/hr but in fact much slower...
Also by using cable ties as the temporary measure to secure the "claws" really make me wonder if the engineers really know what they are doing... They have the whole Sunday morning to find and fix the problem and cable ties are what they can come out with? Well I think I must be glad they did not use strings instead...
I think SMRT really got alot of things to think about this Christmas... With the holiday seasons coming in shortly and one of Singapore main public transport coming to almost a complete standstill, while other public transport increasing their fares, it make Singaporean really wonder if the government and the management from the respective companies are doing anything? Remember these are public transports and it is for the public and that include Singaporeans, PRs and even visitors...
I think it is time for some serious actions to be done and if the management can't do anything then maybe the Government should step in more firmly to take some actions before it is too late and the public lose confident with Singapore's public transport structure in all.

You want Lui Tuck Yes's back side to be buttered by someone's wife who happened to own the holding with investment into SMRT?
You don't get it do you?
The government *IS* part of the problem, rather than the solution.
Appointing cronies in high places and ruthless, reckless outsourcing to cut costs (and inflate profits) are all the handiwork of the PAP govt.
This systemic rot has been festering on for too long. Now, a spate of massive MRT disruptions is slowly but surely revealing this ugly truth.
Also, overloaded trains and overly stressed train schedules certainly did not help.
Trust me, there will be more to come. Expect to see more screwups in transport, manufacturing, healthcare etc. This is a ticking time bomb that will not be defused any time soon.
Well I hope the bomb explode soon such that those sitting at the top (Govt and SMRT) get hit!
Everyday when I take the train, I can't stop wondering if I will be the sway one...
