Dun be surprise if there is no train service in the early morning especially for Sunday church goers as NS-EW MRT lines will only start it service at 10am instead of the usual 5.30am after checks have been completed on all trains and tracks.

Transport Minister Lui Tuck Yew told a media conference on Saturday afternoon that the checks may not be completed in time for normal service to begin at 5.30am and SMRT will run free parallel bus services from 5.30am to 10am. This time round LTA will also be involved in the checking and if a service disruption occurred again then at least now got 2 parties to blame :)

For Sat disruption the official reason given was a third rail cover was dislodged between Novena and Newton stations causing 3 trains to be immobilise at Dhoby Ghaut Station. This is also the similar reason given for the cause of the Thursday breakdown.

Although they still claim that the train services are still safe but seriously a rail cover dislodged... Does it sound safe to you? Imagine if a train go over the dislodged rail cover... will it cause the train to derail? To me as long as there is a problem, the service is not considered safe... simple as that!

So now with all this things happening to the MRT services in Singapore it seem like everyone either buy a damn expensive car with the stupidly high COE or pack with others on the bus...
