    HSK wants to bring back estate duty tax

    There were much discussion about Sgd collapsed and keeping foreign currency. When my kids needed usd and euro many many years ago, I changed whenever the rate was good. When they were back I had some extras but held on to them thinking that they might come in handy as a contingency. Then come...

    Chitchat KLM paid accommodation for one but not for the other

    In situation like this airline staff are overwhelmed. Singaporean are too sheltered. They think there will be a system to take care of them. From my last experience, the backlog of passengers was so huge it became first come first serve. When I boarded the bus from hotel to airport for the...

    Chitchat KLM paid accommodation for one but not for the other

    In this kind of chaotic situation, ang mo is good. They know who and where to go to kpkb to get assistance. For those who are not well versed and did not know how to follow the correct group, they will end up like the 2 girls. Many years back, flights to London were cancelled due to heavy...

    Chitchat Only a software glitch - train collision

    More nonsense to confuse the public. Let's get the fact clear : 1. From Pasir Ris to Ponieer it is under old system - fixed block, so train behind cannot move if the 'fixed block' in from is occupied. 2. From Pioneer to Tua, it is under their so-called bubble system, ie moving block For...

    Chitchat Only a software glitch - train collision

    Amazing! The Moving block i.e. "protective bubble" of first train was removed by a trackside device. If there is no protection bubble from the first train, why did the 2nd train actually stopped about 10m away and only started to move again 1 minute later? Might as well say the bubble was burst...

    Chitchat PE Deposit-Loser Boasts He Has Enough Common Sense To Advise SMRT On Signal Systems

    Hope this guy is not serious in what he is proposing. If that is the way he thinks how train system can work and he is an ex-CEO, this place has really been surviving on miracle. No wonder the technical experts involved can't even give proper instruction to the drivers.

    Chitchat Only a software glitch - train collision

    Changing from fixed block to moving block is in the direction of automation. NEL line is operating using moving block and they go driverless. However, I think they still need an attendant to take care of emergency. Full automation cannot reset the operation when there is a faulty train. Human...

    Chitchat Only a software glitch - train collision

    In their report they said that the driver inadvertently switched off the safety feature of the first train. A more accurate description may be that the driver switched off the signal transmitter of the last train car, NOT KNOWING that it is a safety feature that stops the train behind from...

    Chitchat Only a software glitch - train collision

    'moving block' system will stop all trains if the system cannot identify the location and length of one of the trains. If a train stalled because signal from the last car is intermittently disrupted, the system will stop all trains. To recover this train one can either repair or replace the...

    Chitchat Only a software glitch - train collision

    I also noted that SMRT was not leading in reporting this incident. Instead it is cow and his team providing info. My guess is that the fault does not lie with SMRT but with the one who set out the procedure for the new signal system or whoever that gave instruction to the drivers. Smrt might be...

    Chitchat Only a software glitch - train collision

    There are 2 noteworthy fact from the reports : 1. The signal system has changed from 'fixed block' to 'moving block'. 2. The 2nd train stopped at first but the system moved it 1 minute later. First let's understand the difference between fixed block and moving block signal systems. For...

    Chitchat Only a software glitch - train collision

    It is sad to note that the mrt system has become so dangerous. To make matter worse the authorities are coming out with nonsenses to confuse. I only have 2 questions : 1 What are the roles of the control staff and the drivers? 2. What is the sop when there is fault in one of the trains on the...
