    So how fast was the train going and were the train emergency brakes applied.� If not did the driver see anybody on the track?

    So how fast was the train going and were the train emergency brakes applied. If not did the driver see anybody on the track?

    He did apply e-brake but looking at the photo, the driver has little time to respond, the track change was about 20-30my away from the junction box. The driver probably doesn't know which track the station put him on.

    I think very difficult to change company culture. I know of a company that has tear report culture. If the manager not happy with your report, he will physically tear the report into half or tear the pages out and throw it into the bin. Then shout at you till the whole office can hear what you did wrong.

    After 10yrs, change of manager/directors a few times, I still hear the same thing happening at that company. Employee turnover rate pretty high over there.

    It means the manager who started this tear report culture still in the company after so many years? That's why very difficult to change this culture?

    Didn't know that the current ceo already been with smrt for 4 years liao? And yet he didn't seems to show any improvement and progress in smrt? Delays/breakdown still the same as before! But whether the current ceo able to perform or not, create a mess or not, eventually he is still able to move on with a better prospect, salary and job after his tenure in smrt, and it doesn't affect his life at all. But the lower level in smrt and commuters still continue to suffer.

    I wrote about SMRT company culture earlier in this thread asking why Desmond Kuek refers to operating hours as "revenue hours" and if that was indicative of the company culture.

    Someone rebutted me saying that it could have been passed down from Saw's days and it is very hard for Desmond to change it if all the old staff are using it.

    Change manager is one thing. If top management doesn't step in to let people know that they can't do such things, then it won't stop la.

    All I can say is Desmond is just a passing visitor at SMRT. Sit there, take money, leave. As a CEO and cannot perform or even change a simple thing like company culture, then he is as good as useless.

    But priority has to go to his old boss who is going to be jobless soon as well (once the sale of NOL is completed). Both of them really did an excellent job with NOL and SMRT so don't worry about having no where left to go.

    SMRT CORP chief executive Desmond Kuek, 52, earned more than $2.25 million last year, according to the company's latest annual report.

    The amount is double what he made when he first joined the rail operator in October 2012. For the six months to SMRT's financial year-end in March 2013, Mr Kuek made $611,000, which is equivalent to $1.22 million if annualised.

    For the year ended March 2014, he made between $1.75 million and $2 million.

    In its latest annual report, the Temasek Holdings-owned transport group said Mr Kuek's remuneration was between $2.25 million and $2.5 million for the last financial year.

    This means Mr Kuek's compensation had doubled in less than three years, making him SMRT's highest-paid CEO.

    His predecessor, Ms Saw Phaik Hwa, made about $1.85 million before she left in 2012.

    Mr Kuek's remuneration package is also larger than that of Mr Kua Hong Pak, his counterpart at

    rival transport group ComfortDelGro Corp - a significantly larger company.

    Last year, Mr Kua, 71, drew between $1.75 million and $2 million - a remuneration band that has not changed in recent years.

    In its last financial year, ComfortDelGro posted a turnover of $4.05 billion and a profit of $283.5 million, while SMRT recorded a turnover of $1.24 billion and net earnings of $91 million.

    SMRT director Tan Ek Kia told The Straits Times that Mr Kuek's remuneration "is benchmarked to peer companies... and is competitive and at a�responsible level".

    He added that the new CEO's tasks were more daunting than before. SMRT has been struggling to renew ageing operating assets to improve service reliability and at the same time looking for new ways to bolster earnings eroded by higher operating expenditure.

    In a recent interview with The Straits Times, Mr Kuek said: "We have made tremendous progress on many fronts... but there is much more to be done to improve rail reliability."

    Our MRT is already 30 years old with no major overhaul in between. Hence, more frequent service disruption is to be expected.

    Both hardware and software need to be upgraded and/or replaced. All these take times and money. With all these activities going on, SMRT is also expected to turn in profit year-on-year and not shutting down of services to do full maintenance. I�feel the current team are doing their best to balance all the KPIs.

    For all we know,�this could be the best team that we can assemble to tackle these issues at the moment. There maybe more qualified and competent men/women out there who can handle these tasks better. However, who�knows, they may have�been approached to take on the roles but all turn down the offer.�

    $2.7m bonus clawback hits SembMarine CEO

    The brutal downturn in the energy industry has taken a severe toll on the bonus payments of key executives at rig builder Sembcorp Marine.

    The company's 2015 annual report noted that a $2.7 million bonus was clawed back from president and chief executive Wong Weng Sun, whose total pay package came to $1.79 million.

    He earned $4.32 million in 2014, including a $2.4 million bonus, although he may not have taken this amount home given the company's remuneration policy.

    Temasek Holdings, which owns 49.5 per cent of SembMarine parent Sembcorp Industries, said senior management receive cash payouts of no more than a third of the bonuses they have already racked up, if the balance is positive.

    The retained balances remain at risk of clawbacks in the future, it added.

    This appears to be the first bonus clawback Mr Wong has experienced since taking over as SembMarine president and chief executive in 2009, based on a search of the company's annual reports.

    SembMarine told The Straits Times yesterday that it was not able to respond to queries.

    Five other executives also suffered bonus clawbacks, ranging from $472,000 to $989,000 last year.

    "Bonus clawbacks in the oil and gas sector are another illustration of the unprecedented headwinds buffeting the industry," said Stefanie Yuen Thio, joint managing director of TSMP Law Corp.

    "The market saw clawbacks for top executives in the global financial sector following the financial crisis of 2008, and this may well be the oil and gas sector's 'Lehman Brothers moment'."

    Lee Suet Fern, managing partner of Morgan Lewis Stamford, noted that "when the industry is down, bonus clawbacks are unsurprising".

    Sembcorp Marine's full-year net loss came in at $289.7 million last year from a net profit of $560.1 million a year earlier.

    Marine engineering companies around the world have had trouble replenishing their order books while existing orders have been deferred or cancelled, the firm said.

    SembMarine made provisions of $801 million on rig-building contracts and share of losses in other associates and non-operating items in the fourth quarter.

    Meanwhile, the heads of Keppel Corp and SembMarine's parent, Sembcorp Industries, fared better, partly because these are more diversified businesses.

    While their total remuneration packages were lower this year, they kept their bonuses last year.

    Keppel chief executive Loh Chin Hua's package came to $6.73 million last year, including a fixed salary, performance-related bonuses and share awards. This compared with $7.25 million a year earlier.

    The total remuneration of Tang Kin Fei, group president and chief executive of Sembcorp Industries, came to $4.45 million last year, including a $1.54 million bonus. In 2014, he earned $6.17 million, including a $3.04 million bonus.

    "This reflected the impact of a weaker performance by SembMarine, partially mitigated by the utilities business," a company spokesman said.

    From now on, SOP item to carry when taking train will be torch-light and a reflective vest!

    Nowadays, there is a torchlight function in your hp. Just turn it on.

    Even my nokia phone also have torchlight function. It turns the screen all white. Can choose colour.

    I think commuters already waited about 45 mins before they�were asked to walk on track. So if you want to stay put and wait, then don't know have to wait for how more long liao?! But did they reported commuters need to walk how long to the next station?

    I guess it's not about darkness on the track or having a torchlight by your side when you take train home at night. It's all about the get home experience. Ppl are expecting to get home on time to have a shower and enjoy dinner with the family. This kinda incident just dampen the mood. A wet blanket.

    We also do not own the road that we drive on, LTA does. But whatvever happens to the road we can call LTA to do something. I think it's the same for MRT. I do not think things work that stupid bah?

    Road and track is different. If this road cannot use. We can use another road. Track cannot use no other way. Imagine call lta. Lta send their engineer down to check. Check Liao go back arrange. Waste another time. All the time taken can be reduce.

    Furthermore we don't know if the track condition will affect the overall function of the train. We can imagine both lta head and mrt head arguing over its the track fault or the train fault.

    Agreed. but too bad nowadays taking train is no longer reliable and fast, as the breakdown rate is simply too high. Even taking bus is more reliable as how often you hear bus breakdown on the road?

    Through the track accident that killed 2 trainees we know that they send a whole bunch of ppl to check and rectify all at one go. No need to go back and forth to cut down on down time. No?

    If your son came home from school with a b grade, would you cane him? No right? Just encourage him to improve LA.

    Same principle for SMRT.

    sorry your analogy wrong coz in this case your son himself grade himself B grade. that is different from school grading him.

    plus he awarded himself a big toy aka bonus after he graded himself...

    Although breakdown now is so frequently happened, but seems like the captain and the staff still don't really know what to do during the breakdown, and don't know how to response during the breakdown?! Maybe they are waiting for some serious/major incidence to happen to commuters during the breakdown then they will wake up their idea again?

    I think the term "breakdown" is used to loosely.

    They would have a list of items to check for various breakdowns. Not all breakdowns are the same. Having the commuter walking on the track is the last thing they do. Like abandon ship or ejecting off a plane.

    imagine the backlash if touch wood some 1 suffer ashma attack , heart attack when train breakdown and pass away.

    with no first aid given,

    or some 1 ganjiong spider and fall from track when train breakdown on top, with no ample lighting,

    but I am in no way to give accurate comment myself, cos I mountain turtle, last time I take train only 2 or 3 line???

    for all I know, everything could be in place already .

    anw, some commented that our mrt is 30 years, breakdown cannot be prevented.

    this is crab, cos newly build line and train also spoil??

    hk line how many years? their population?? their useage??

    if our mrt is lousy, just say lousy, give a fail or just pass grading, admit the fault and work on it.

    dun keep reaping in millions of profit then say our mrt world class, and every day spoil.
