Train delays happen in every city. Just like how cars break down, phones and computers too - Jeffrey Siow

[Asy1um]

Ministers also take responsibility and quit just like any other cities, except Singapore

 

[wongkc]

Champion… trying to normalize faults and incompetency…

 

[Medicated Oil]

He must be damn song to say that.
Maybe something that he want to say to pawn the residents for a long time.

 

[bestyetcome]

So no need monitor, no need special task force, just get used to it.....

 

[Sad Panda]

vote like siow! work like siow! act blur like siow!

 

[LoUsyGamER]

Dont think MOT comms team will put this in:

"... just like cars break down, and phones and computers require restarting now and then, trains, too, will break down."

Feel weird to have this in the speech that can provoke public displease.

 

[0218crawford]

yep. next time RTS will also breakdown. that one will be the mother of all cruster fart

 

[kitsura]

If my phone or computer broke down 10x in 3 months I would throw away and buy new one. I would also quickly buy 100 put options of the company so that I can use the profit to buy a better device!

 

[Acetron]

why set up task force comprising the same old gang who are incompetent, should invite those experts from Euro star, DB, CCR, Shinkansen operators to advice. like that also need me to teach you ? maybe i should also get your salary

 

[dushensiao]

break down jiu break down, mybfd. Not happy buy car lor.

Jeffrey siow always right, just like MIW. No blaming pls, can only blame yourself for being poor to afford car.

Even if mrt breakdown 3 times a week so what just llst.

 

[fanflo_08]

[nonameless]

They need to convince commuters boss ....

 

[daveteo88]

Other people city more complex and populated, he comparing to what. Ours is brand new lines breaking down leh. Some chronic design issue.

The MRT is supposed to run for 5000 years without breaking down

 

[Eost002]

Broken

 

[standarture]

Is his middle name kong jiao way?

If my car is well maintained, will it break down?

Accident is boh pian, but breakdowns are reduced sharply by periodic and timely maintenance

There's also something called preventive maintenance - if I think I detect something is unusual, I will send to the workshop to check and not wait for a breakdown to occur and get it towed to the workshop

Our PCs and phones got break down every few weeks meh?

Same - as long as we maintain the system well, don't expose it to viruses or abuse, they won't break down so easily

This guy is really for brains siah

Ya. Obviously there is some really seriously issue. For major electrical non-mechanical component to fail, is some serious issue.

 

[Rodimusprime6113]

Someone told me the head of engineering and the head of trains don’t have railway engineering backgrounds. I checked their profiles. Indeed they weren’t!

 

[PeanutButterJellyfish]

Why be satisfied with mediocrity when we can do better with no breakdown at all.

 

[standarture]

The MRT is supposed to run for 5000 years without breaking down

Hahaha I wish. They probably think their design so kilat. Maintenance is always the no.1 item skimped on.

 

[elevate]

Feels like this ***** has been waiting for a chance to say this since being a MOT dog in 2012
