We thank the staff, not the management. So, about the fare hike.. postponed?

[t.c]

Ground workers are saints! It's those who sit on leather armchair and spent 100% of their time in Air conditioning offices!

[beezlebub]

You know the issue is not with the frontline staff but the management and the maintenance team, no?

[carrk]

Singapore media always praise the hard work of ordinary staff (which is commendable) but never criticise the failure of top management level.

[JJLee-czxd]

The management of SMRT and LTA should be punished with a pay cut! They are sitting in the nice office with aircon, enjoying high pay while did so little.

[michaelleongQuartermaster]

All thesse MRT workers should be give a extra mont bonus for their hard work.

[tangt]

Every time there is a breakdown, they use the workers as diversion for commuters to take pity. But really how much bonuses do the workers get in comparison to non-work air con office management and board of MRT. They should count themselves lucky a guillotine has not veen used previously but seriously our patience has run out this time. The opposition really needs to dig into who are the individuals that have been reaping all the fat monopoly profits of the MRT.

A big thank you!
As a Singaporean, I feel very thankful that safety is given priority. Even though the repair may take longer, but a thorough job cannot be compromised. 👍

My post was deleted off .. why? This is a management issue!

[martinmisty]

Chris Tan questioned why the breakdown occurred so soon after the completion of a decade-long, multi-billion-dollar rail renewal program, which had been touted as enhancing the reliability of Singapore’s rail system.

[karmadekye]

The staff on the ground are doing the work. Over people got to suffer becoz there are those collecting millions of dollars who are negligent in their work.

[Qoonutz]

Wayang or truly appreciating the work of the repair crew and all ground staff?

[harvey]

Please spare a thought for the management. Without fare raises, CEOs and his kakis cannot afford their 5th condos and 4th mercs and BMWs

[limhocksengben]

Though I am driving most of my time ( not user of mrt). My 👍👍👍 really like extend my great appreciation to the hardworking & efforts staff during this breakdown ❤🎉👍👍

[joong]

So thankful to those who struggle working at ground work. Things can happen in sudden. Please reward them for their hardwork.
Management take less to contribute them. Without them train will not move on...

[firejr]

The workers on the east west line are trying their best, they need a raise!
Meanwhile the management is not doing much to help, and they taking all the money. No wonder maintenence is slow. They better not increase the fares this year after this catastrophe

[patchiang]

My son works for SMRT. I haven’t seen him since Wednesday morning 😢

[garfieldandfriends]

Thank them after the issue has been settled, not now.
We don't need toxic positivity at this moment.

[KorlinAng-bsrh]

MRT service should not be profit driven. There will be no end to this lack of preventive maintenance problem.

[martinmisty]

If these [trains] are well-maintained, they can last longer than 35 years, ” Tan said, adding that it was SMRT’s responsibility to ensure that any train in operation is deemed trackworthy, regardless of its age.
