Desmond Kuek: Not a service disruption, just trains running at slower speed!

[laksaboy]

once in a century unforseen and unpredictable tragedy.

p.s. jokes aside, hope this will not happen.

Board a train carriage at the rearmost end to minimize risk.

Admission of guilt and (sincerely) apologizing means admitting defeat and acknowledging incompetence. This is not a good idea if you want to portray yourselves as worthy of your mega salaries.

So, be thick-skinned, churn out the spin and maintain the aura of infallibility.

This isn't politics or public service anymore. This is religion and worshipping of false gods through blind faith.

True leaders are never afraid to take responsibility when things go wrong. Where does the buck stop?

Would you have faith in someone who keeps denying the existence of issues rather than acknowledging them, apologising and taking responsibility for them?

The atmosphere in SG is sick. Everyone is so scared of copping the blame that there is no one to take responsibility and take charge like a true leader. Everyone is only eager to claim the credit when things go right. This attitude permeates the entire hierarchy and everyone starts doing irrelevant and illogical things to "cover their backsides". There are many examples of this like the checkpoint incident and the Little India riot. The first thing that comes to their minds is how not to make mistakes and get blamed instead of how to perform their jobs properly with pride.

Ass holes like Desmond Kuek are really beginning to believe their own presss releases.
The gall of it all - I suspect that his KPI is dependent on the number of breakdowns, so he die die will tell the train drivers NOT to stop the trains unless it is a matter of life and death.
How does he look at his children in the eye, and say that their daddy is an honourable man?
The likes of Desmond Kuek is really getting out of hand.

Desmond Quack does not have to ride the MRT. He has a driver and a company luxury car that brings him everywhere. Its doubtful if he has even rode the MRT in the last 10 years. His children also get driven around. They also do not have to ride the MRT. They don't have to put up with the delays, breakdowns, overcrowding, FTs molesting them on the trains, etc. Therefore, he fuck cares about people taking the trains, and as long as he keeps his kids in luxury and overseas travel, he looks them in the eye with no problem.

Very well said. It's so bad that It spread across all levels including private sectors. That's how the kiasu kiasee kia..... was born.

If u notice carefully, all these nonsense started during preschool years. Take a look at the pappies kindergarten, all the kids will guai guai form a queue and follow the teacher. Whoever don't comply will be single out and become outcast. This go on all the way till ns. N's is the worst. U r not suppose to think, u are only suppose to follow.

In short, old fuck is very successful in brainwashing and controlling the nation for 5 decades.

A technical glitch during morning peak hour caused thousands of commuters to be late for work or school by up to 50 minutes yesterday, but rail operator SMRT Corp maintains the incident did not amount to a service disruption, as there were no stoppages.

"There was no service disruption, although trains ran at a slower speed," the company said in a press statement, attributing the incident to a "track circuit failure" along the southbound track between Yew Tee and Kranji stations on the North-South Line.



50 minutes slower.

Give that man a knock in the head, not a Tiger Beer.

[halsey02]

The students will grow up taking the breakdowns as part and parcel of public transport....
This paper general should have gone into advertising or public relations....his creative spin is 2nd to none.
Train withdrawals, running at slower speeds etc jargon coined by him.

Next time, the train doors won't open, they will tell you, they are testing it for your safety....each day, we lean of all the creative words to describe their incompetency....or they are running at half speed for they have just greased the rails.....what's up doc?
