mycarforum: ALL consolidated SMRT/NEL/KTM simisai BREAKDOWNS here! part 40

peoples ....

this privatisation deal is very complex, like how petrol prices are set.

explain to you all the details also cannot understand one lah.

Best reply ever. easy to understand and no rebuttal can be made by the public. Hope the ministers and military CEOs can learn from you [laugh]

To me it's not about the privatization model that is failing the company. The company was working fine before the population boom. It's after that the company cannot keep in pace and remember the constant fare hikes? They needed the extra money to keep up with maintainance.
Nationalisation to me I will think that the money will come from tax payers meaning those who do not take public transport they are also "paying" for the operation cost of public transport if the model doesn't help the company make profit. This might not be the best solution on the long run.

When the rail system is pushed over the limit, it's hard not to see that everything seems too be failing. So whoever made the drastic changes to the population is now paying for it. That's what I think.

We can agree on this point but the way it was maintained by getting cheap parts and the maximising of profits by sacrificing maintenance schedule and experience personnel also play a part in the train failures.

Last but certainly not least, SIA is not headed by an army general with no airline experience. The current CEO, Goh Choon Phong, joined SIA in 1990. Prior to his appointment as CEO in 2010, he worked for the SIA group for more than 20 years for the airlines' operations in China and Scandinavia (source: wiki). This should be the way. Has anyone watched Jiro dreams of Sushi? Jiro the sushi chef, was doing and perfecting his craft for his whole life and earned himself 3 Michelin stars. His work ethic, because it's repetitive, builds on itself and escalates.

To this day, I still could not understand the logic of parachuting army generals into fully operational listed companies. I feel sorry for NOL, MRT, Singtel, and a few others. It does not make sense to me especially when they were being paid millions for no relevant experience, and bringing their companies to their knees with the exception of Singtel, which was almost a monopoly back then.

I guess it's almost the same everywhere except what you mentioned. Even here at mcf some of mods did not become moderators without being a member first for sometime before becoming a mod.

By right if the whole system is very good and work/responsiblities are well de-centralised.... The Ceo don't have to be expert in their field. After all we constantly see some news of mnc new ceo are from other industries... But I guess SMRT a lot of decision are heavily rely on the ceo

Could it be something is very serious or wrong somewhere, that why pass it back to Govm.

�

The "real problem" may be needed to be exposed if SMRT still stay as a listing company...

�

Yes, my strong suspicion is SMRT has some things gone wrong inside. Whether we get to know, is another thing.

�

SINGAPORE�State-investment firm Temasek Holdings Pte. Ltd. has made an offer to buy shares it doesn�t already own in Singapore-listed SMRT Corp. that values the transport operator at 2.57 billion Singapore dollars (US$1.90 billion).

�

Temasek, which owns 54% of SMRT, plans to delist the transport company from the Singapore stock exchange by November. Temasek is offering to pay other shareholders of SMRT S$1.68 (US$1.24) a share�or S$1.18 billion�an 8.7% premium to the company�s last traded price of S$1.545, according to a statement from SMRT on Wednesday.

�

SMRT�s standing took a major hit in December 2011 when its subway lines suffered two major breakdowns that left more than 210,000 commuters stranded. The disruptions were the worst in the network�s history, prompting public outrage, criticism of the company�s wide-ranging interests and a rare government inquiry�a reflection of how seriously Singapore takes its record of orderliness and efficiency.

Less than a month later, the company�s chief executive resigned, saying she wanted to pursue personal interests. In July 2012, the inquiry into the service disruptions said it found management and operational shortcomings at SMRT and recommended broad remedies, but didn�t assign culpability to any individual.

�

Last week, Singapore�s Land Transport Authority announced a deal to take ownership of SMRT�s train assets, leaving it to focus on operations and maintenance of the network. The proposed asset sale is valued at S$1.1 billion, most of which would be used to repay SMRT�s debt. SMRT said it doesn�t intend to pay any dividends to its shareholders after the sale.

�

Many analysts cut their target prices for SMRT after the announcement, citing a worse earnings outlook as a result of the sale, which would crimp revenue.

�

SMRT is expected to face regulatory challenges from costs and uncertainties associated with an aging and expanded network, the statement said. It said privatization would provide SMRT with greater flexibility to focus on its primary role of delivering safe and high quality rail service without �short term pressures of being a listed company.�

�

Temasek has nearly a third of its investments in Singapore, managing a portfolio of US$179 billion as of March 31.

�

SMRT operates the bulk of Singapore�s mass rapid transit system. Separately, it also has a fleet of approximately 1,200 buses and 3,500 taxis.

�

Late last week, SMRT said in a statement that the current rail model was �unsustainable� and that its margins have narrowed significantly since 2012 due to the burden of more extensive maintenance, regulatory changes and fare increases that are limited by the government.

�

SMRT�s net profit fell to S$109.3 million (US$80.7 million) in the fiscal year ended March from a high of S$162.9 million in 2010.

�

SMRT�s shares have been on a trading halt since Friday pending an announcement of the asset sale and Temasek�s offer Wednesday.

�

Credit Suisse AG is advising Temasek on the deal, while Bank of America Merrill Lynch is the adviser for SMRT.

Why should the system run by itself when the ceo just sit there do nothing and earn millions? The ceo must work to earn his money ok! Haha

The best part of the durian is the tiny layer of skin surrounding the seed in my view. If using fork, how do they manage to eat this layer? I suspect rich people don't bother with that skin layer one.

From Boeing to Ford I can still understand because both are profit organisations. What exactly does SAF fall into the scheme of things? I suspect that fatty from NOL didn't even pass his IPPT, a pre-requisite for a commissioned officer, ie, he didn't even do his fundamental job well in the army.

The ceo by right is to set the general direction of the company. And do strategy planning and also lobby with other Coe for potential project. But those are large corporate we are talking though.

He got pass lah... But likely fail after he promoted to crabs.

I was surprised when I read the news that mee siam mai hum and 1mdb used fork to eat durian. First time I ever know anyone who use fork to eat durian. Maybe their father never teach them coz too busy being prime ministers

Maybe after crab already he downgraded and no need to take IPPT liao.

Yeah possible... His generation a lot of cases....

That's why now got new law.. Cannot past ippt all henta kaki... And no yearly increment.

so, WP was right in their push to nationalise public transport?

however, this buyout has no nationalisation benefits?

�

Nationalisation means all line under Cheng Hu like HK MTR.� With Temasek buyout, there is no nationalisation of MRT as NorthEast/Circle is under SBS Transit.

�

I think his concern is valid.

""While this may seem like a move towards nationalisation, it is not. In fact, it could result in none of the benefits of nationalisation (e.g., Government control over SMRT�s operations and management), while SMRT�s financials and operations may become less transparent to the public," he wrote.

The party wanted to know how Temasek, "given (its) status as a private exempt company", would "manage the tension between its role of maximising shareholder value and delivering better public transport value".

I suspect the reason why they are move to corporate was more to prevent generals for holding military strength for Too Long.. Some people worry about coup.

�

true, i fully agree in making sure our soldiers have food on the table after serving the nation, regardless of how people view their performance.

�

BUT... give them food dont need to give them the whole bloody farm ma... value create... dont value destruct lor.

BUT... give them food dont need to give them the whole bloody farm ma... value create... dont value destruct lor.

No choice... The whole farm is to entice them to sign on..

Actually cannot fully blame the generals.

Whole life they were condition, trained, selected. .. basically selectively breed for obedience, they go where they are told.

So blame the people who send them there in the first place.

That said, while we don't want generals idle and unemployable cos that may create a security risk, these generals are by no means financially deprived from their years in service and should have the dignity to refuse since historically they will clearly cause more harm than good in the companies they CEO.
Perhaps the money were too good to refuse.

Which now uncomfortably leads to the question. . If character and money are weaknesses of our top soldiers. . Where does that leave singapore? ?!!
Hee could possibly make more by being a body double for Kim in North Korea �

The problem with putting ex-Generals into an organization is also the tendency to bring in their retired Lt Colonels, Majors or even Captains into the organizations, without direct experiences too.

�

This is because these clowns do not have any contacts to industry's suppliers, customers (market), competitors, employees, bankers, shareholders�and other stakeholders prior to joining the companies. They have spent their�entire lives in the army and they only know people like Lt Colonels, Majors�and Captains, who also spent their entire lives in army. �They don't know who are the good and bad performers in the industry, and have no idea how to even conduct a proper interview.

How do we compare these generals�to the industry veterans who may also possess superior paper credentials? [thumbsdown]

if u notice, depend on the company.. Those high risk one they tend to let them enter and learn the trade instead of straight away ceo. Those they deem no high risk one they really anyhow whack.

These paper generals cannot cope with the outside world. They still bring their mindset of Sir Yes Sir into the outside working world, expecting everyone to listen to them.

Please la, the outside world is about experience and building rapport with various parties. Don't expect everyone to obey them.

No wonder most of them always fail.

i got a true story of my friend in an organisation who hired an ex Col. (freshly retired from SAF). �He came in as my friend's peer colleague, same level. He's supposed to do market or biz development. And he knows sh1t about it . Doesn't even know how to use Skype and facebook!!!! �And he pushes his work to the lower level, �My friend said his workstation is super clean. �no piece of paper on it. �

�

In one meeting with external parties, they mentioned the words "Corp Comm". �We all know Corp Comm means corporate communications. �He paused the guy and ask "What is corp comm?" �And this is already 5 months after he joined in!!! �

�

And the boss who brought in this Ex Col, he's a personal friend of his..... �Well, like what ppl always say. "Its not what you know, its who you know."

yup ... and they have the big fark mentality ...

Sound like Seagate.

In the real world, it takes certain experience and track record not only to effectively lead but also to attract the right people into your team. No capable people will want to work for someone they couldn't trust or respect.

Imo, ex-generals are good for running a security department, that's all.

That's up their alley.

As for being a CEO, they are really unqualified.

not like that... they give commands are like talking to themselves. �???????

MRT already got so many breakdowns, havent fix the problem and still want to add load to it

When trains breakdown, how are all these devices going up their free connecting buses?

Someone got to think further than that

How do u get/from to MRT station? That could be the thought behind this trial.

If train breakdown, these devices can be used on the spot rather waiting for shuttle bus.

When MRT next breakdown again, all passengers could unroll their foldable bikes to help them carry on their journeys from the breakdown location to their respective destinations.

Less taxing on bridging bus services.

My friend and I were taking the train at Segar Station and we supposed to alight at Jelapang to pick up our kids from kindergarten. The train didn't stop at all. We keep pressing the emergency button and it not working. A guy pick up the emergency phone and tried calling but also no response. The speed of the train is really fast and passed 3 stations without stopping. That's really scare everyone to the max especially the train moving fast. One of a lady called by using her mobile phone and then the train start to slow down. The train stop before the platform near Phoenix Station. Everyone were so scared especially we saw another train ahead near to Phoenix Station. We can't imagine what will happen if we can't get the train stop.�

Now.. there are many Why in my mind!!!!!!�

1. Why the emergency button is not working ????
2. Why no one notice the train moving non stop till 4th stations????
3. Why the emergency phone also not working at that moment?????
4. Why the train moving non stop with much faster speed as usual????
5. How frequent smrt check the emergency button and phone to ensure it functionality????

We keep pressing the emergency button and it not working. A guy pick up the emergency phone and tried calling but also no response. The speed of the train is really fast and passed 3 stations without stopping. That's really scare everyone to the max especially the train moving fast. One of a lady called by using her mobile phone and then the train start to slow down. The train stop before the platform near Phoenix Station. Everyone were so scared especially we saw another train ahead near to Phoenix Station. We can't imagine what will happen if we can't get the train stop.
Now.. there are many Why in my mind!!!!!!
1. Why the emergency button is not working ???? Dummy button
2. Why no one notice the train moving non stop till 4th stations???? Sleeping on the job
3. Why the emergency phone also not working at that moment????? Dummy phone
4. Why the train moving non stop with much faster speed as usual???? When it didn't stop of course it will move faster and faster
5. How frequent smrt check the emergency button and phone to ensure it functionality???? No need to check coz it is dummy set

Is Singapore practicing the different mode of HSR (high-speed rail) trial test recently?

even emergency button not working, so serious business, also cannot gather much interest liao.
