Atonchia Supersonic March 22, 2016 Share March 22, 2016 (edited) OMFG !!! SMRT have been routinely ENDANGERING the lives of their staff 0.5m width is quite narrow if you ask me, and from the pics, there were certain parts with no barriers. I feel such method of inspection has the same risk as lift technician working in the lift pit with the lift still operating. I remember when I was doing OJT and was following lift technician on how to rescue trapped lift passenger, the technician said they will never work in a lift pit if the lift car is not called to a stop, because the pit floor has little clearance, and too risky, the rule also said lift must never move during servicing. I believe no commuters ever know that SMRT engineers routinely carry out such checks and no one would ever mind to have a longer waiting time than to put people lives at risk. We can ask any aircraft technician if they'll ever walk behind or in front of and idling jet engine. No because rule number one says cannot. And they have a rule that protect their safety. I keep having the impression SMRT system cannot cope already with something designed 30 years ago.

Kusje Supersonic March 22, 2016 Share March 22, 2016 If this is a common term used in the company. you cant really blame him for the choice of word. I guess we'd have to blame the company culture. And maybe the CEO since he is in charge of forming the company culture (oops, went one round and right back at him!). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kopites Supersonic March 22, 2016 Share March 22, 2016 We can come up with all sort of speculation as how such tragedy happened. We can argue till cow (khaw looking at you) come home wanting accountability. Two sons died. Their parents must be in dstress now. No amount of words can comfort the deceased families. I don't want to rant at the government, smrt. Waste saliva. Let everyone here take it as a learning lesson. Drive safe. Be patient on the road. Accident might be spilt second away from us on the road. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atonchia Supersonic March 22, 2016 Share March 22, 2016 Hopefully it is not human mischief, cause really a mystery why the train only hit the 2nd and 3rd men while so many of them were walking along the track?If cause was accident, one possibility was 2nd victim was close to 1st victim, with only so little side clearance. Can get tripped over. Enough of my wild guess. I just hope the result of investigation will prevent such tragic incident from ever happening again.

I keep having the impression SMRT system cannot cope already with something designed 30 years ago. I believe if time is not of an essence in this case, they would have travel there in a vehicle with cranelike structure to get to the incident point. This kind of walking along track looks prehistoric but the infrastructure was done 30 years ago as you said it. Hopefully people instead of criticizing Train operators as a whole, show appreciation to these heroes who put themselves in a certain amount of risk to keep the train moving as smoothly as possible. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were CEO, why not? Then again, maybe that's why I ain't the CEO. BTW, like I said, it isn't just a "representation". It's indicative of the organization culture.

Ocean6576 4th Gear March 22, 2016 Share March 22, 2016 Recent events sure calls for more scrutinizing and reworking of policies, procedures and protocols. One thing remain unchanged is the transparency and liability in the events that follows. Like the NS case, Hep C case, most info are withheld, penalties are so called dish out but with no accountability. I wonder how much more can the people accept the “you talk, we listen” policies anymore. Also with all these KPI and “Out – ing” mentality of outperform, outsmart, out achieve in stats boards and government organization, are we moving towards a more gracious and efficient country but at the mercy of soulless and heartless office holders or are we moving towards a heartless and soulless country at the expense of the gracious and acquiesce citizens? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
