ex-SMRT staff on why SMRT breaks down...

[rodent2005]

If a monopoly with full government's support and blessing does not become more profitable, the BoD and CEO ought to be shot. But that does not mean things will be rosier for the paying customers.

I wouldn't trust the words of some disgruntled ex employees with an axe to grind.

Ex staff hardly ever have a good word to say about former employers.

That's true, but when many ex-employees (and even current employees) give a consistently poor review of the employer, you can safely assume that it is the employer who's at fault.

Not all former employees have to be disgruntled. There are plenty of those who left their jobs on a happy note, and stay on amiable terms with their former employers. Employees become disgruntled for a good reason. Human resource logic 101.

Instead of dwelling on a handful of breakdowns, look at the other side of the coin and count the number of incident free journeys Singaporeans have enjoyed over the years.

By any measure, she is outstanding.

ok ok agree.
there r more breakdown in this forum than mrt. thankfully, we do not need pay 2 use.

The majority of disgruntled ex employeers are poor performers who had a higher opinion of themselves than others had of them.

Any CEO that increases profit 3 fold has to be a good CEO.

What's the primary and foremost role of a operator of a public transport system?

To increase profit 3 fold but to be so fucked up that the transport system actually cannot function properly?

You MUST really be so fucked up to think this way!

Trains break down. People take days off work. I'm sure you must have taken days off from work too.

Nothing operates with 100% up time. The MRT system has clocked millions of km without incident since it open. I congratulate her for a job well done.

 

[bullfrog]

You could say the same for those who are still in there - they would not bite the hands that feed them. So who do we believe more? Those who are freed from the yoke or those who are still beholden.?

Maybe you think we shld ask Saw herself??

I tried to be fair to what you've said but I need to reveal more so that many here can see how fucked up your logic is, most of the time.

The rail system might have clocked up millions of km but to have an incident to come about and thereafter to reveal that there was so many flaws and faults to the system including the trains to be discovered 'on a overnight inspection' really shows what type of fucked type CEO she is.

She can play with the commuter lives despite being paid millions but don't come here to tell others here, her lower staff are to be blamed instead for those 'overlooked fualts' in the system!

I guess God was too kind to her, God should have create an ultimate scene which leaves her little if no room to 'get out' but that would of course have caused many innocent lives to be lost too!

It was just a minor incident. No lives were lost and a small number of trains out of the total rolling stock were found to be defective.

The fact that she has managed to increase profit 3x since she took over while maintaining a very high standard of service shows what a star she is. All Singaporeans have benefited from talents of this remarkable Malaysian lady. It's a shining example of the foreign talent policy being a success.

No matter how good yr logic is, LeongSam will twist your logic further. He is like another Tonychat... piss all singaporeans no matter what logic you gave.

LeongSam... i spit on you !!!

LeongSam... i spit on you !!!

That doesn't work over an internet connection.

The greatest rebuff you can give is to not visit this forum anymore.

The greatest compliment is to continue posting on a regular basis.:p

 

[saratogas]

I have full confidence that the MRT will be even more profitable in 10 years time.

so SMRT share can buy? Now at $1.75...

 

[Leongsam]

so SMRT share can buy? Now at $1.75...

I say go for it. The downside is minimal. The upside is astronomical.

 

[Unrepented]

Privatised company have every right to do so and must do so.........it has nothing to do with nature of goods or services they supply, may it be public or luxuries.

A good CEO but in the wrong business. Long term business will flounder because of this.

 

[Fook Seng]

The majority of disgruntled ex employeers are poor performers who had a higher opinion of themselves than others had of them.

Are you sure about that? And how do you judge good performer? Someone who does his job well in maintaining and servicing the network and the customer or someone who follows top bosses decision to reduce such efforts?

 

[Unrepented]

Your two sentences, contradicting each other leh :o

I beg your pardon. Trains break down you lose revenue.
