    They underestimated the effort need to maintain the system.

      Bukan tak tahu buat rencana penyelenggaraan. Semua tu PhD master degree. Lepastu pakai telunjuk aje. Orang bawah technician tu semua baru keluar sekolah teknikal. Orang yang berpengalaman tapi tak nak cucuk tu dipecat. Habislah macam tu. Pengguna MRT maki maka pun tak guna..tahan aje lah.

    Doesn't the straits times have better presenters? They are not comparable to those from CNA.

    Always signal fault. If the management is not tired of giving the same old stupid excuse for incompetence, then maybe this is what will bring LKY back from the grave.

      LTA should have chosen alstom for the TEL trains. CRRC sifang is garbage

    SMRT's Management: This is the third fault in 4 months, what shall we do to rectify it ?! I want answer!!
    SMRT's Scholars: Lets increase the Train's Fare!!
    SMRT's Management: Brilliant!!!!!!! FAT BONUS FOR YOU!
    Narrator: Once again, they have saved the day...... Thank you SMRT's Scholars ! :D *echo*

      I blame the LTA, they are pulling strain on the reserves, raising fares and leaving SMRT in charge of maintenance. While the continuation of construction for the jrl and tel is good, it also takes away money from SMRT to maintain existing systems, which results in this.

    Ok la. Considering what's going on in other countries like Ukraine and Sri Lanka, this is nothing. I'm content enough

    @sangnilautamapendekar Před 2 lety

    Itulah akibatnya. Siapa yang menolak cucuk tu ditekan diancam dan akhirnya dipecat. Yang tinggal tu kena kerja overtime sampai takde masa untuk rehat.
    Jadi memanglah biarkan aje lah.
