SMRT presents to you, Boh-Hiu-Lan Rhapsody

Is this the rail life? Is this just fantasy?

�

Is this the rail life?

Is this just fantasy

Caught in a packed ride

No escape from this MRT.

Open your eyes

Look up to the sky

And flee

�

�

I'm just a poor boy

Don't bid for COE

Because I'm easy come, easy go,

Raffles Place, Ang Mo Kio

Anyway the lights blow, doesn't really matter to me.

�

�

Mama, just left the train

Walking home to my bed

Roads are jammed, trains are dead.

Mama, ride had just begun,

But now I've gone and thrown my EZ-link away

Mama oooooooh

Didn't mean to make Lui cry

If I'm not back again this time tomorrow

Carry on, carry on

as if nothing really matters...

So what Desmond is saying is that it will still breakdown but less frequent ? I hope my interpretation of CEO-speak is correct.

�

I am DEEPLY CONCERNED too that they own and operate the asset and yet do not know�where�or what the system can (and cannot) handle and still have to pay�consultants to study the network and salt issues etc ... :scared:

�

So what for send people overseas to study other city's rail�models when�come back still need to pay�consultants to tell us what to�do, so go overseas is just�shopping and�R&R ? :ninja:

Do appreciate what the folks on the ground at SMRT are doing when situations happen, but really, its weak leadership at the top lah ... and we have 2 weak transport ministars in a row ... [thumbsdown]

He been around for damn long -�

I feel that the weight has got something to do with it - more crowded trains I would think puts more stress on the system -�

From day one when there is major train breakdown in year 2011 I been mentioning this about train weight. Let's see in year 2016 when the newest batch of train in service which is way lot heavier then the previous batch will it cause more problem to the track breakdown..

Made in China still okay if the QC is there. Just that I do not understand why smrt keep ordering train that gets heavier and heavier for the newer train. Aren't it should be the other way round. Less weight can save on electricity too as the motor no need work so hard to keep the train running.

B grade was in 2013.

If you ask him today, he will say his grade is A (almost hitting A+)

I think the board of directors should get fined for all these....

�

Totally useless group, ought to be shamed to put their names there.

�

Four years ago...

"I just think if you have a CEO from DFS running the SMRT, what do you expect???
The thing she is the most famous for is setting up "shops" in MRT station. Common do you expect her to place emphasis on Engineering staff???
The board of directors should have anticipated this when they placed her on the helm. The CEO will be focused on revenue, opening retail spaces in MRT stations. What about the trains? What about maintenance?"

�

When shit happens just let her take the blame...

�

now, pay this qwek guy millions and then come out this mother of all breakdowns. They are totally clueless.

Hearsay the train still not stable after the breakdown on tue. Now�i have phobia taking train�that it will breakdown again. And I got stuck inside the train of nowhere! [dizzy]

Due to the MRT disruption, some who turned to Uber for taxi got a rude shock on their taxi bill. $230/- for a taxi ride. For that price, one can ride a cab from Jurong to Changi airport 5 times for a normal day.

Puts into question, is Uber�s Surge Pricing acceptable.

�

A screenshot of a fare summary shows that one passenger was charged a total of $230. Another interviewed said he was charged $102.�

An Uber spokesperson told the Shin Min Daily News that the higher rate was to encourage more drivers during peak hours and meet demand.

Uber had announced a waiver of extra charges as of 9.30pm on Tuesday, but some commuters have already been charged before that.�

They were charged at a rate of three to five times the usual fare.

SMRT Corporation Ltd (SMRT) won its first award at�the Institute of Risk Management (IRM)�s Global Risk Awards in the category of Delivering Value through Risk Management.

�

The award was presented to SMRT�s representative on Thursday, 19 February in London and marks the first such award won by SMRT and by a Singapore company.

�

The award by IRM, the world�s leading professional body for risk management, is aimed at those who have established clear evidence that their risk management activities have added value to their organisation.

�

Standards and processes achieved by the institute members are widely recognised as the gold standard in risk management work.

�

SMRT President and Group CEO, Desmond Kuek said, �As a world-class transport service provider, we understand the importance of a robust and relevant Enterprise Risk Management framework that enables us to optimally deal with business uncertainties through identifying key opportunities and risks, and addressing these through proactive mitigating actions, plans and processes.

�

We are very honoured to receive this award from the Institute of Risk Management, the leading professional body for risk management excellence. The rigorous judging process reaffirms that SMRT�s Enterprise Risk Management programme is truly world-class, and delivers superior value for our stakeholders.�

The new train is heavier than the old one by the weight of 300 passengers.

SMRT chief executive Desmond Kuek said the operator will not be able to catch every potential fault even if it stepped up maintenance.

�

"So one solution is to completely renew the system," he said.

�

Another would be to put in place condition monitoring systems.

�

---- wa, completely renewing the system? How much $$$ ah?

http://www.straitsti...or-smrt-arrives

The new train is heavier than the old one by the weight of 300 passengers.

70kg x 300 = 21000kg extra

That's a lot of weight. Imagine when the newest batch of train when train load is full, not one but a lot in service, imagine the more stress it cause to the track. I can only imagine the breakdown will be more frequent next year.

Others are moving to aluminum ( even cars!) And our trains are using heavier andbheavier steel. Has anyone heard of a old MRT train breaking apart because of a weak frame?

Apparently at 1st they suspect increase weight of the newer train is the problem for the 2011 line disruption, but later rule out that is not the one causing. So imagine before year 2011 smrt already have trains that is way heavier then the older generation train. Recently they order new train that is even heavier then the current one.�

�

So weight is not the cause? I think investigation team should relook at the weight of the train again.

Can you organize a rally at HLS this weekend for us to apologize for spoiling the trains? :grin:

Perhaps we should consider river ferry more .. Kallang River flows to Ang Mo Kio from the city. Can row boat home.

I�am extremely concern that after giving a good increment to the CEO of SMRT, we are spending more money to engage external consultant to find the problem that the SMRT is facing.

�

I am also very worry that this may caused SMRT's expenses to increase and results in multiple " small " fare increase regularly in near future.

�

Of utmost concern �is �that after spending all these extra money; and then IF the MRT become working as it SHOULD be, there will be another NEED to increase the bonus of the SMRT management for a job " well done " ; instead of employing the consultant that knows rails system to head the SMRT to maintain and improve it.

means SMRT management is CLUELESS ...

�

if everything also need external consultant then dont need to pay Desmond $2m already ...

Stupid fools didn't even have the right people to do the job the whole time.... What were the doing for the past 10 years? Sleeping?

for the past 10 years, they have been building retail shops in every MRT stations lor..

�

Broker's Take: SMRT could face S$50m fine for disruptions, says Maybank Kim Eng

�

SMRT could get slapped with a S$50 million fine for its recent July 7 service disruptions, said Maybank Kim Eng on Friday morning.�

�

Keeping its "hold" call on the transport operator, Maybank Kim Eng said: "We believe that the regulators could fine SMRT for the service disruptions. This poses downside to our FY3/16 net income forecast of S$119.4 million.

�

"Recall that Parliament passed a bill on Feb 17, 2014, that increased the maximum fine for every rail disruption to 10 per cent of an operator's annual fare revenue for the relevant rail line. This was up from the previous maximum of S$1 million. SMRT's FY3/15 rail revenue was S$644 million for its North-South, East-West, and Circle Line. This suggests a maximum fine of S$64.4 million for its entire rail network."

�

Still, as Tuesday's disruptions did not affect the Circle Line, the broker thinks that the maximum fine could be closer to S$50 million.

�

Maybank Kim Eng's target price for SMRT is S$1.57; the stock was last traded at S$1.485 per share at 9.15am

http://www.businesst...maybank-kim-eng

�

Nothing wrong with expanding the retail business if it helps cover the costs, and make profits for the company. It should also be a source of funds for maintenance, but given the goals of a public listed company .. where would you put the $$ ...

"We have also brought in a number of retired SMRT staff with experience in network power issues to assist in investigations. At the same time, we have advanced the procurement of additional conditioning monitoring systems that were being developed jointly with R&D agencies," SMRT said.

Disgraceful.... But at least they are starting to do the right thing.

Remember...fare hike and breakdown are separate issues.

This is like Rambo. Kenna screwed by his country and went into retirement. When the country is in crisis and needed him, he reluctantly agreed to make a new sequel.

This man has learnt well from The Master Lui Tuck Yew....taking MRT during off-peak period.

Singapore should look to Hong Kong's MTR for lessons.

- carries an average of 5.2 million passengers a day (HK population is abt 7.13m)
- HK MTR operates 2.8m train trips a year, with a 99.9% on-time rate
- can replace a 60m rail piece in 2 1/2 hrs within their maintenance window of 1-5am
- only One Operation Control Centre manages the islandwide MTR system
- HK MTR operates the London Overground, Melbourne & Stockholmmetro systems and
Part of Beijing, Shenzhen and Hangzhou metro systems

Instead of getting those paper tigers who know nothing of rail system. Until now still guessing and clueless

if i recall correctly ... Desmond took the MRT during AM peak when he joined SMRT ... but he went from Bishan to Jurong East, of course not packed like sardines and can ask reporter to take picture of him shaking hands with commuters lah ...

�

to me that is just wayang, got balls take AM peak train from Bishan to Raffles Place then talk.

�

I give him a P ... Pui ...

�

imagine we had to go to war with this type of General ... :scared:

Last time combat engineers boom bridge.

�

Later on automated, press button to form bridge.

�

Wonder whether we can have smart systems to detect and replace upon press of button.

Maybe the next CEO comes from SAF Combat Engineers......

Still engineers what ...

He should try taking train from bt batok to jurong east and changed train to�town direction! Then he knows how commuters have to suffer everyday!

Coming soon .... new options at Singapore Pools branches in MRT stations

�

think a lot of ppl will be buying North South Line ...

can buy LRT boh� ? I wan to buy Bt Panjang one ... :ph34r:

HUAT AH !

He should try taking train from bt batok to jurong east and changed train to�town direction! Then he knows how commuters have to suffer everyday!

So what if he did it. It's only once or at most twice a year. He still gets almost $7k everyday and 2.5m a year.

You are right, he wont feel the pain commuters are going through, cause he don't take the train everyday.

This is the most mind-boggling statistic. 7K per MONTH is already good pay for a professional jnr to mid lvl manager. Per day is just unbelievable. What to do with so much money??

7k per day is roughly just below 1k per hour. $15 per min let's say. Walk to toilet, pee then walk back already earn $100+. [laugh]

Maybe they are too focused on making profit until they forgot to pay part of the electricity bill. No worries folks, the next fare hike will solve the issue.

:grin:

Huge fine coming smrt's way. Will soon be translated to higher operating cost and FARE HIKE.

haha ... then they should pay by giro mah ...

looks like still dunno what�the cause was�and they like just waiting for it to happen again.

All the generals are paper generals la.

So what unique leaders we have in Singpore?

�

1) Paper generals.(That would actually make us paper soldiers. LoL...)

2) Samurai minister. (the one who suggested harakiri).

3) Zorro, who feels lich just looking at his cpf account. Who is also a toothpick enthusiast.

4) Hawker pm. (his specialty: mee siam w/o hum)

What else? LoL...

Hawker PM is also an artillery general who is afraid of firecrackers.

�just like good chilli crab will sell, no matter where the stall is located�

Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong trivialised the impact of redrawing of electoral boundaries in which WP chairman Sylvia Lim called the analogy a �red herring to confuse voters�. Using Mr Goh�s analogy, she countered �SM Goh must be aware that he is one of the three most well-known chilli crab stall operators, besides Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew and Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, operating chain stalls all over Singapore in the form of the GRCs. (and thus forcing the smaller chilli crab operators out of business)�. �Source: TodayOnline Mar1,2011

�

�People support CPF cuts because there are no protest outside parliament.��� Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong

Either LHL is hugely out of touch or he is kidding himself, you need to apply for a licence from the Police in Singapore to protest. Not only the time taken for the approval is long, the purpose of the protest must be stated. If the purpose in known, the chances to get the licence is virtually zero as �public safety� is often cited as the paramount concern, the only way to protest safely is a small little obscure corner known as the �Speaker�s Corner� which is allowed lately and a butt of jokes around the �openness� of Singapore Government.

�Save on one hairdo and use the money for breast screening.�

�How much do you want? Do you want 3 meals in a hawker centre, food court or restaurant?�

Minister for MCYS Dr Vivian Balakrishnan in replying to a request by MP Dr Lily Neo�s �Is it too much to ask for just 3 meals a day as an entitlement for the PA recipients?� � (25 April 2007)

�

�We started off with (the name) and after looking at everything, the name that really tugged at the heartstrings was in front of us. The name itself is not new, but what has been used informally so far has endeared itself to all parties.�

Mah Bow Tan on the $400,000 exercise to rename Marina Bay as Marina Bay.
There is another similar incident in an exercise to find the best name for Singapore�s first budget terminal, the final name chosen: the Budget Terminal.

�

�If we spent 387 million dollars, will we get value from that expenditure? In my mind, the answer � is yes,�

Dr Vivian Balakrishnan opining whether YOG still worth its salt�if he had known the cost of the YOG�were three times the original estimate.
Unlike F1 and the two integrated resorts, many Singaporeans remain to be convinced how the $388m helps to boost tourism or boost Singapore�s image as a fun place to visit. It is money not well spent, period!

�I didn�t ask for it. That was the rate for the job, that�s what I accepted. You don�t like the rate, I can�t help it.�

President Nathan who doesn�t feel he needs to defend his high salary which has been criticised extensively online. (The Sunday Times 7 Aug 2011)�

��If the annual salary of the Minister of Information, Communication and Arts is only $500,000, it may pose some problems when he discuss policies with media CEOs who earn millions of dollars because they need not listen to the minister�s ideas and proposals, hence a reasonable payout will help to maintain a bit of dignity.� -- Dr Lim Wee Kiat, PAP MP for Nee Soon GRC, 24 May 2011 (Lianhe Wanbao)

�(For example,) you go to Peach Garden, you eat the S$10 XO Sauce chye tow kuay (fried carrot cake), you can be quite happy right? Because you are satisfied with the service and so on. On the other hand, you can go to a hawker centre, even if they charge you S$1.50, you might not want to eat it if the quality is not good.�� mr chan chun sing �

�Our reputation as one of the world's cleanest cities is going down the rubbish chute. It looks like a case of "monkeys see, monkeys do". Tokyo has no rubbish bins in public places. Yet there is no rubbish there. The Japanese take their snack wrappers, empty bottles and ponchos home to dispose. That is why Tokyo is a fine city without "fine" signs. That is why it is a clean city with no foreign workers. Without foreign workers, Singapore is likely to become a "garbage city". Cleanliness is a character thing. It shows who you really are. --- gct �

Johnny Tang When 1 million 3rd world foreigners bring their 3rd world habits to Singapore, how do you expect Singaporeans to react? You are exactly right, monkeys see monkeys do, because Singaporeans have GIVEN UP on trying to keep Singapore clean because the foreigners will dirty it anyway.

Darryl Kang It is all by Singaporeans? Nowadays there are so many foreigners in Singapore that I won't be surprised if majority of the rubbish were left by foreigners.

Just because it happen in Singapore doesn't mean it is Singaporeans all at fault. I do pick up my rubbish. I do hold on to my rubbish until I find a dustbin. And I believe many of my fellow Singaporeans do the same too.

Wang ZL MParader, I feel embarrassing and ashamed to have leaders like you and Hsien Loong that keep criticising Singaporeans without pointing the fingers to foreigners. I sincerely hope you and PM repeat what you both said during the rallies in coming GE. Thank you.

Cant believe he earns 7k per day!!! Really makes me feel so unbalance! How to justify his pay?

I have been thinking for a while about writing a book on stupid arguments people used on the Internet, & this one certainly deserved a spot. Saving this quote for my reference.�

�

I haven't got a name for this agrument yet, but the idea is when asked about a failure, & how to improve, & the basis of this argument is to present an extreme scenario that cannot be met, with the idea that you cannot made any improvement to met that scenario.....so you do not need to improve, or as a imigation for the failure!

�

This same argument is used by SMRT when asked about the braekdown. ��

�

When ask about breakdown, they answered that you can double maintainance or stuff, you still cannot prevent breakdown 100%.�

�

Hmmm, damn he is right, on matter what, you cannot prevent breakdown 100%...maybe we are being harsh......oh wait!

�

If you still unclear why this argument is poor, let's see an example

�

Mother: You score 65% in your maths test, boy I think you need to work harder. I am reducing you playtime, & up your study time.

Boy:But, but I can study 8 hours a day, 12 on weekends, but still it is almost impossible to get 100% in all subjects.

Mother: (Smiling while taking away his ipad.). Nice try, now get back to study.�
