TRS publish wholesale what they received from contributors. They claimed that they are just a platform for people to have their voices heard and are not responsible for the content of the articles.

I say, read TRS with an open mind.

Think I'll leave it to you to work out that %. For me, TRS can be quite entertaining after a long/slow day in the office.

Another MRT related incident

Elderly man found unconscious near MRT track 'not hit by train'

http://sg.news.yahoo.com/elderly-man-found-unconscious-near-mrt-track--not-hit-by-train-011512850.html

A man in his 70s, who was found lying unconscious near the train track between Tanah Merah and Expo MRT station on Saturday afternoon, was not hit by a train as reported by local media earlier on Saturday evening.

It was also reported that the man was conveyed conscious to the hospital. However, police have now clarified that the victim remains unconscious.

The police reportedly made the clarifications in another statement to The Straits Times on Saturday night.

It said that the man was found lying on “the outer side of the track, in the direction of the Expo MRT Station”.

SMRT reportedly confirmed this too, they said, “the train heading in that direction was stopped, in accordance with operating procedures and the man duly moved to safety”.

The victim also had head injuries and multiple cuts on his body, according to the police and the Singapore Civil Defence Force respectively.

A Taichi session???

Even if the staff is at fault... people will see this as a MRT failure...

I hate the way they just push and blame the staffs... so Management is not at fault type of attitude...

Never thought highly of Singapore Company Team Spirit... "WE succeed as ONE, and WE fail as ONE!".... This must be aliens to them... and scary when a lot of Ex-SAF personal left and join public sector....

Is there Team Spirit in SAF units??? I wonder...... :think:

Train disruptions due to lapses by staff: SMRT

Investigations into three MRT service disruptions that occurred earlier this month showed that two were caused by human error, SMRT said on Tuesday.

In a statement, the transport operator said that the first disruption on 11 January, which caused a train to stall between Yew Tee and Kranji MRT stations, was due to a damaged cable that had worn out.

The cable has since been repaired, and a system-wide inspection has been conducted to ensure there are no similar damages. A condition monitoring system is also being put in place, to improve the maintenance routines, SMRT said.

The second disruption on 20 January involving a stalled train between Yio Chu Kang and Ang Mo Kio stations was due to the drained battery on the train.

SMRT found that a technician had failed to close two circuit breakers after routine nightly servicing on the train, causing the battery to drain and automatically triggering a safety mechanism that prevented the train from moving.

It took nearly an hour before normal service could resume, longer than anticipated, due to the peak hour congestion, SMRT said.

The company added that pre-launch train checks will now be more highly supervised, and that disciplinary action had been taken against the technician who had been negligent.

The third disruption on 22 January between the Expo and Tanah Merah stations was due to an oversight of a train captain who failed to observe a signal light on the track. The train service had to be suspended for safety reasons, to allow engineers to verify the safety of the network.

Investigations have confirmed that the existing procedures are sound, and the train captain has since been disciplined, SMRT said.

Alina Boey, SMRT’s media and marketing communications director, said that while SMRT is committed to delivering safe and reliable train services, “even with the best efforts and systems, there will be the occasional delay and unexpected disruption”.

She added, “In such an eventuality, we appreciate the patience and understanding of our commuters and apologise for any inconvenience caused while we work to recover the system as quickly as possible.”
