SMRT

AGMs of SPH is one of the worst also, some SHs even end up a real fight because of rushing and pushing for food.
The board of Directors were aware of this, they immediately left the room at once after the meeting, couldn't be bother to stay back for one second or look back.

haha.. the Directors are smart...

I attended SMRT AGM for the first time and was appalled by the behaviour of hungry uncles and aunties.

What was more appalling was... SMRT Staffs were taking videos of the chaos instead of trying to calm down or control the crowd.

I bet they had fun uploading the videos to their facebook or STOMP and having a good laugh.

anyone been to the jurong east mrt station recently? the space that popular bookshop used to occupy is still empty, so are the stores in the area. i wonder if space at mrt stations are not so popular anymore..

Do you guys feel that there are more and more train breakdown/delay incidents happening these days? Are trains running on green/red line reaching a point, where massive trains need more maintenance or replacement?

The reason (I feel) is because they are now running more trains, and more frequently too. Good for the commuter, bad for SMRT; because of more breakdowns and more requirement for R&M.

This also explains the jerky motion of the trains - too many of them on the same line vying for space to dock in the station.

In short, Singapore's current infrastructure is unable to support 5 million people...

Either govt gotta start reducing the no. of people here or our infrastructure has to improve....

They created this problem, now they must resolve it...

But if they want to hike the transport price for it... HELL NO !!!!!

For what it's worth.

From SGX:
SMRT Corporation Ltd ("SMRT") will be releasing the financial results for its first quarter FY2012 ended 30 June 2011 on 27 July 2011.

Price hike will be beneficial to shareholders. But commuters will feel the pinch.

So will we see it as an investment opportunity? Or will feel the pain as commuters?

Interesting solution call - nationalise?

Hi, SMOL,
The chance of nationalisation is very very slim. Why?
O. K. if nationalisation goes ahead, then what is next? Khoo Teck Puat hospital, etc.
Maybe one of this fine day the poor, the very poor and not so poor can't take it anymore. But who dares to tie the bell to the cat's collar.
No Indian Chief, no war dance, no smoke, no fire.
War dance is allowed only in speaker's corner. Even then you must apply for police permit, i think.
HA! HA!
But our Yamen always think they have taken good enough care of the poor among us. i don't think so.
Vested.
