This issue is systemic

SMRT Press Conference On this Morning (22 Mar ) Accident .
SMRT Chief Desmond Kuek says they are investigating the accident.
The Train involved was travelling at 60kmh and was coming into the station .
Both he and his PR head are clowns. Deaths in such cases cannot be investigated by the organisation. The only part they can play is to assist the Police, MOM and any other authority that has the remit to investigate. They can't even touch the scene or show their sorry ass unless they are given permission. Even Toa Payoh brothels prostitute corrected their version. Disgraceful.

SMRT press conference on this morning's accident
The press conference has ended. Mr Kuek and SMRT staff are going to visit the workers' families after the interview.
This is not a knee jerk reaction. What kind of management allows 2 trainees within 3 months of joining a company be placed in such position that they have lost their lives. There is no act of God here, no wind, no storm etc that could have contributed to this tragedy. Again I suspect that it is poor procedures.
Desmond has been with the SMRT since 1 Oct 2012 and his last drawn salary was $2.25. When he came in he was allowed to bring in his own team and except for two, the rest were from the SAF with no prior experience in the industry. If he had brought in at least half of them who are in this industry it would have been acceptable. Does he need 10 years to fix the SMRT.
There has to be independent inquiry and not another bullshit eyewash exercise where lower ranking stuff are disciplined and we are then told that they have accepted their punishment. And why is he paid much higher than other GLC chiefs with firms that are valued much higher.
this incident should be the straw that breaks the camel's back.
