Land Transport Authority
Transport Minister Lui Tuck Yew shared the findings of a 12-hour overnight visual inspection of the North-South and East-West Line with the media yesterday. In total, 61 rail defects were found and 13 trains were affected by the consecutive breakdowns of North-South Line. It was discovered that the location of dislodged claws coincides with the location of the floating slab tracks along the North-South Line. LTA has ordered SMRT to run trains at a slower speed at parts of the track where the floating slab tracks are located.
You mark my words here: the two immediate changes you can see will be these:-
(i) MRT will remove all fire extinguishers from the trains
(ii) MRT will post written warnings on its windows ”VANDALISM IS PUNISHED WITH MINIMUM 3 MTHS JAIL AND 3 STROKES OF THE CANE” . The LOR this Gaman is BEST at handing out is ”You hoot my popperty, I hoot your kar cherng”.
You heard it from SmellyCheesepie first.
