Singapore's rail system has lost its 'mojo' but it is working hard to regain its earlier standing, said Transport Minister Khaw Boon Wan yesterday.�

Khaw blames distracted management for rail issues
SINGAPORE � In hard-hitting remarks about the state of Singapore�s rail reliability, Transport Minister Khaw Boon Wan said on Monday (May 30)�that �complacency and certainly distracted management� led to the current state of affairs, as he outlined areas the rail operators need to shape up in.

?Quite a number of major train fault are related to power traction fault, so aren't it is clear it got to do with power loading?�
They still believed it is due to maintenance issue? Maintenance maybe part of it, but I think they need to resolve the power loading issue at greater urgency.

that's why they have taken 2 trains out of service to reduce loading.

whether it helps or not only time will tell.

They take out 2 but still seems like they still more focus on maintenance. Yes lack of maintenance could be a cause, but if too over focus on the wrong aspect, then no matter what they do the fault will still occur.

They replacing sleeper and seems like no much improvement. The real cause of the breakdown is not directly linked to sleeper and yet what happened? Few years back they already concluded it should be the wooden sleeper that need replacement to the concrete one. End of the day still the same.
They are just running headless chicken. It's as if they thought they found the solution to the problem, but in fact the root cause of the problem is not found yet.
So now they are looking to experts in Taiwan to look into maintenance issue? I think they should be more focus on what is causing the problem which is power traction issue. This one need more urgency. Hopefully the experts in Taiwan can come down and give them a good lecture and pin point what exactly is the problem and make sure these people are super on the ball. Unable to take the stress out they go.
Not I say one...

GE2011 was the first time since 1991 that the popular vote won by the PAP dropped by more than one standard deviation from the mean of the PAP�s popular vote (68.7%) since independence. In other words, the PAP�s popular vote of 60.1% was below the average variation of the PAP�s popular vote since 1965. The last time this happened as in GE1991, when the PAP received 61% of the popular vote, even though the PAP popular vote has been on a general downward trend since GE1968, when it received 84.4% of the popular vote.
�
�
Anyway, GE2011 was the GE that the wanton population increase, FT influx, transport and housing issues all contributed to the reduction of the winning percentage for PAP...that was the year a GRC was first lost...and that was the year the MOJO was lost baby...

Quite true, the upgrading works that smrt is doing now, they thought train will improve and breakdown will be reduce or no more after all these upgrade works have completed. But so far seems like they have not started in tackling the power fault problem, and maybe they are waiting for another major power fault breakdown again?!

Though smrt wants to follow HK mtr system, but now they want to follow Taiwan mrt system? Think smrt also don't know what they want ah?

As I mentioned before, I believe Taipei MTR commuter volumes are lower than Singapore, and Singapore is lower than Hong Kong and Japan -- more commuters and more reliable.

Mr Tan owns a 7-year old car.
�
1st 3 years of ownership under AD warranty, so religiously go do servicing attend recalls.
�
4th year onwards got complacent and decided that he rather spend his money on pimping the ride with decals, mods and cosmetic enhancements. He forewent all his regular servicing.
�
6th year ownership saw his car starting to have hiccups, rattles and minor breakdowns. He just do quick fixes to sort out that immediate problem.
�
7th year ownership, the car starts to have major incidents of breaking down, even when he was travelling on the highway. The workshop advised him that due to years of neglect and lack of proper regular servicing, his car requires a total overhaul eg. change transmission, �engine overhaul, suspension change, electrical wiring harness change.
Mr Tan was not convinced he need to do all these things, so he chose �to do piecemeal quick fixes as per usual. The major breakdowns continue to persist at the chagrin of his family members and other road users affected by his frequent breakdowns.

It just shows how fast and how much things can be screwed up by bad decisions of a few bad eggs. The most amazing thing is obviously not a single person including the CEO and the board of directors were taken to task for approving the chain of bad executive decisions.

10 years ago was around 2006, back then our FTs open door policy, population still haven't fully increased yet, mrt surely is so much better. Think the problems in our mrt now is due to�these reasons, poor maintenance, overly increase of population and the train system is not being built to cater such high capacity.

i notice since the LTA regulate the vehicles that use for ferry FW, many company has chosen not to do that any more but to ask the workers to take public transport. Hence you will see many of them using the bus and train before 730am (clash with the student and others) , this is because if they reach before 745am, some stations are free and the other at discounted fare.

you sure they dont know what they want..

they probably want to justify how to increase fares and year by year increment of revenue %
�
so they probably now looking for a better beachmark to follow suit so that next fare revision, they can proudly say we are on par with HK/Japan/Taiwan railway standards.. so Pass me the money to upkeep it.
The Singapore brand used to be widely respected around the world.. Nowadays, mrt here breakdowns is like usual.. Lifts breakdown after inspection also common.. Newly install glass at Newly open museum can shatter.. Lights up trees can go on fire..
What is happening ?? Think we better take a gd lookn ponder..

Maybe you are right. No matter what upgrade works they are doing now, which mrt system they are adopting from, ultimately profits still their priority on the list. I would not be surprise in future�they will collect back all the money from commuters that�they have spend on the current upgrading works that they have done.

Profit of coz must have la, but can't we learnt from investigation team that investigate aircrash, see how professional they are that most of the investigation they found the root cause of problem and then sent to Boeing or airbus to rectify it. Human error, they highlight and then the training programme will include on these kind of scenario.
But look what what smrt, lta had done? Investigation done and end up root cause problem not solved and still running headless chicken. How can? If these were the people who investigate aircrash, I believe now flying will be very unsafe as there are a lot of manufacturing defects, human error etc that causes the crash are not found yet.
Looks like it is LTA that cannot make it, so it leads to smrt also cannot make it. Since LTA is the one who administrate the whole public transport, smrt also listen and take cue from them.
Again power fault.
See... We are lowering our expectations to meet THEIR standards liao...

At that kind of pay level, the shortfall is even less than a "peanut" or to put it perspective, price of say a S400, that it. Buy next year lor...
He is still awarded the same amount of share by the way, and once the reliability improved,share rice increased, he will still Huat !

Just 2 big fines from LTA will have exceeded the payout to Desmond Kuek.
Investors would rather hear what is the string of measures that will prevent major breakdown and minimise the probability of getting fined by LTA as well as not affecting the mobility of the nation.
No good then just change him out for someone to do the job.

Cut pay is just wayang!
I would recommend free ridership as the most rewarding bonus to commuter on top of fine from LTA. Afterall, the commuters are the ones who suffer the most in the event non-operational train service, not LTA, not CEO. IMHO, pay cut of its CEO is irrelevant to commuters. But it will be if the cut is given back to commuters in the form of ridership. He he he....�
How many of you here were around in 1997 and remember the 'teething' problems of their MRT system.
Supposedly at that time there was public acknowledgement that we helped to bring their system up.
Wah the horrors of the Taipei MRT at that time. Really transparent news report onTV, I recall, after a thunderstorm, your light tubes hanging off the roof, equipment not working, misalignment. Jialat plus plus. I remember this because after the report, someone said to me that your country helped to develop...
Now, going back to learn? Good idea, it was a pretty mess back then. And if you know their culture, same la same la.
Who took the first public MRT rides in Taipei? Right here got one.
He is trying, come on. Be nice.

They only care abt their fat pockets ...
This year is lower as compared to last year... But still very high despite not really reducing the breakdown frequency ....

Or did we outsource too much of our responsibilities to 3rd party that we lost control?
Because I feel once we outsource a function within an organisation, we seemed to have a diminished responsibility to that function.
But SMRT didn't outsource to 3rd party contractors. ???

If they continue to run well, let them be or else LTA should have no qualms about taking them back.

Could be just tip of the ice berg.
student can still use the machine to top up, just insert the notes into the machine. usually tourists and old folk use the counter service.A lot of senior folks don't even have atm cards. They only know how to use cash to top up their ezlink. Students also do not have atm cards. They buy the monthly concession ticket using cash. When you put all these ppl together that will come up with a lot of cash.

For our system, if everyone that want to stay put, stay at the left side, and those who want to speed up, really move to the right, we are in fact faster ... problem is some don't want to speed up and yet occupy the right side... and that delay the movement of ppl ...

My angle is as follows :-
�
1. our peak load at certain station is pretty heavy and some stations have only one escalator upriding, so better to fully utilise the escalator capacity to move the passengers away from the platform before the next train arrives rather than to cater to the few who prefer to dash up / down.

2. newer stations are much deeper and escalators are much longer, not safe to be dashing ... especially downriding.

Anyway, if our station can have more than one escalator to cater to the crowds arrive from the train,�overcrowding problem should not have�much issue. But too bad most of our stations, and even those busiest stations, only one escalator going up or down which shown very poorly designed when they build the station initially.

i had a vision of screams and blood when the mass of people fall in to the broken floor plate at the end of the escalator. all forced �towards the human mincing machine with no extra space to run! �

actually we did not have "stand on left" when MRT first started.

given the current crowd situation, I think its time to scrap the "stand on left" thingy.
To disperse the crowds fast, escalator and train are equally important lo. Lol.

Most of our stations are as crowded as other cities in Asia.

Firstly i don't think the train companies here think that our stations are as crowded as other cities in Asia. Cause at most stations, there is only one escalator going up and down at one side, and only one staircase on the other side. Don't think such design can disperse the crowds fast la?!

That's because many of the stations were built before the mass import
