Brand new trains derailed while being tested at Bishan

[halsey02]

New trains also got problem, dread to think what is happening to existing ones.:(

Encik, no porblem, lah! isolated incident, breakdown, you get isolated only...

 

[cheesecake]

Without passengers, it is too light and that was what caused the derailment.

Once it is fully loaded, it will function perfectly.

IZZIT?

 

[singveld]

Most items are made or assembled in China these days, due to cost.

If it were a consumer electronic product, if the product fails while under warranty you can get it replaced. No problems.

However, if it were a vehicle or train or lift, if the product fails the lives of the people using it may be endangered.

Penny wise, pound foolish.

Once it is fully loaded, it will function perfectly.

You are wrong! :oIo:

You are wrong! :oIo:

Confucius says: the post-childbirth vagina of a woman of menopausal age cannot accommodate (handle) 6.9 million dicks at the same time.

Tokyo, August 29, 2012—Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd. announced today that it has been awarded a 17.7 billion yen contract along with Kawasaki Heavy Industries (Singapore) Pte. Ltd. (KHI-SIN) and CSR Qingdao Sifang Locomotive and Rolling Stock Co., Ltd (Sifang) from the Land Transport Authority (LTA) of Singapore. The three companies will work together to supply 132 train cars to the Singapore Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) system.

Kawasaki will be responsible for the overall project management, design, manufacturing of bogies and procurement of major components. Sifang will be in charge of manufacturing, final fitting and assembly of complete MRT trains and factory testing. KHI-SIN will be responsible for the delivery of complete MRT trains to the depot, on-site testing and commissioning. The new MRT trains are scheduled to be delivered to Singapore between 2015 and 2016.

These new MRT trains will be deployed on the Singapore MRT's existing North-South and East-West Lines where they will increase rider capacity, and also on the Tuas West Extension.

Kawasaki supplied LTA with 396 cars of MRT trains between 1986 and 1989, 126 cars between 1999 and 2001, and 132 cars between 2011 and 2012, some of which were delivered through joint contracts with other companies. An additional 78 cars are to be delivered by 2014.

The history of cooperation between Kawasaki and Sifang goes back to 1985, when they signed a friendship agreement. Since then, the two companies have built up a solid track record within China, including joint contracts for linear motor MRT trains for Guangzhou Metro Lines 4 and 5 and for high-speed trains from the Ministry of Railways. By combining Kawasaki’s abundant experience in overseas projects and extensive expertise in MRT trains and Sifang’s large-scale production capacity, Kawasaki and Sifang were awarded a contract for the supply of 132 cars of MRT trains from the LTA of Singapore in 2009, followed by an order for an additional 78 cars in 2011. This is the second joint contract for Kawasaki and Sifang in an overseas market outside Japan and China.

Kawasaki will continue to expand its rolling stock business in Asia as well as other global markets.

Isolated case, no problem one lah, they will exercise maximum restrain too.

 

[Capano2121]

Now that they're found to be not rail-worthy, what are you going to do about it?

They are left with the only honourable thing to do and that is to put the carriages into full active service immediately, request further discounts from ah tiong maker for the next batch of delivery and assure commuters that the next incident will only happen in 50 years!

 

[palden]

Money paid already what to do?

 

[garlic]

"Due to Wheels fault"..... what else..

 

[eatshitndie]

Breakdown they called it withdrawal....

Wonder that creative term they will come up with for Derailment

the politically correct phrases are "temporary misalignment" followed by "slight re-adjustment during motion".
