awhtc 6th Gear June 9, 2021 Share June 9, 2021 @Phang You might need a pair of heavy-duty stand jack (rated at least 3 ton) for working under the car. On the accident, I think it is due to metal fatigue at the joints. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
awhtc 6th Gear June 9, 2021 Share June 9, 2021 @Beanoyip The company cut back on maintenance under the old CEO Saw Phaik Hwa. I suppose the old risk-taking culture and low maintenance resources still prevail even after the new CEOs took over. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

awhtc 6th Gear June 9, 2021 Share June 9, 2021 @inlinesix The ex-CEO Desmond Kuek was brought in to fix the critical MRT issues. In that sense, I think he may not have sufficient resources and time to fix other issues that Saw created as a CEO for a long period from 2002 to 2011. The most recent CEO should have all the resources and time since most of the MRT issues were fixed when he took over in 2018. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno what exactly happened but at times people like to work base on convenience.. how many times we see workers use pillars to loosen a nut when a spanner need to be used. SOP and installation manual are there but then again how many follow? I hardly see any mechanic using torque wrench to tighten the bolt to correct torque. I used to work with 5 tonnes machine.. How many times the pallet jack is leaky? you be surprise many many.. so can jack up the machine but cannot hold.. so when working with heavy machinery don play play.. only we can take care of our own safety and do watch out for other co-worker and report any safety lapse.. Bosses will find u picky and don like you! whahahahaha.. My suay encounter yesterday.. I went to change 4 tires last Saturday.. Tires were setup by 2 workers on separate machines.. both workers pump the tires to different PSI based on their experience/knowledge.. Yesterday in TPE tunnel the car tires pressure lost indicator pop up.. drive aside check check boh tai chi.. so drive to nearest petrol kiosks to pump up and reset the onboard computer.. The different in the PSI and not resetting the onboard computer resulted in the false reading.. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
