A safe-to-fail mentality will only breed complacency

I REFER to Saturday's commentary, 'A city that never fails? Better a safe-to-fail city' by Ms Chua Mui Hoong. There is a difference between expecting a fail-safe society and expectation of a safe society, and I believe most people like me expect the latter.
In the case of SMRT's security breach, it is not simply a case of an 'honest mistake', but that of complacency. We could have forgiven it if the depot was highly secured, but this was not the case. Even the post-event response by SMRT leaves much to be desired.
Ensuring vigilance and accepting failures do not go hand in hand. It is totally justified for us to be concerned about our lives and expect that no expenses are spared when it comes to protecting lives.
If we were to adopt a safe-to-fail mentality, as Ms Chua suggests, it will only breed complacency, and such an attitude will create organisations that are only reactive to problems and not proactive agents that constantly seek to improve themselves.

Play it straight

'When CEOs don't give a fast response after a major incident, people think of only one reason...'
MR DANIEL CHAN: 'I refer to Saturday's commentary, 'A city that never fails? Better a safe-to-fail city'. Indeed it would be naive to expect no mistake from big companies. However, in the case of the recent SMRT fiasco, public outcry was justified because they had waited too long for somebody to say something. When CEOs don't give a fast response after a major incident, people think of only one reason - that they are still trying to write a script that is correct when viewed by all. Let us hope that big organisations, particularly those affecting the everyday life of Singaporeans, will learn from this episode. Honesty is the best policy. And just make sure the mistake is not repeated.'

Cut the banter to ensure security

I REFER to Saturday's commentary, "A city that never fails? Better a safe-to-fail city". Indeed, while Singapore aims to be a safe haven, it is far from one.
The lax attitude shown by some in the front line of security is a cause for concern.
I am sure many would have observed before the casual attitude and bantering among some uniformed personnel in public.
Security is a serious business and those involved must show strict discipline, carry themselves well in public and remain vigilant and alert all the time.
