Why not make it free?

 

[dr.wailing]

Sinkies have been lied to since Day 1 of the opening of the MRT line that trains couldn't be operating 24 hours a day because they needed maintenance from 0100 to 0430 hours.

Why can trains now operate 24 hours? Can someone tell me the reason(s)?

wah the entire country is mobilized? even MRT TV screen also remembers LKY?

Masterstroke by paper general Quek.....
Next time MRT breakdown can blame it on dead man

 

[tanwahp]

They better pray that the MRT won't break down in those wee hours.

It will be a joke if people get caught in a breakdown while visiting an old man known for intolerant of ineffiencies. People are also going to be pissed that they have to take midnight cab home.

This is what happens when you treat politicians like mini gods instead of public servants.

Desmond wants to score points, and the FT maintenance crew needs to take time off for mourning LKY.


P.S: I saw a Pinoy maid praying to a LKY poster... like praying to Guan Yin or Toa Pek Kong.

All MRT services will be running 24 hours a day over tonight so that Singaporeans can travel to and from Parliament House to pay their respects to Lee Kuan Yew.
The announcement comes just a short while after it was announced that visiting hours to pay respects to Lee Kuan Yew over his body at Parliament house would be available 24 hours a day.
Original plans were for mourners to be able to visit from 10am to 8pm between Today through to Saturday but due to overwhelming support and crowds which are now queuing over 8 hours to pay their respects, the visiting times were made 24 hours a day.
It is understood that SBS and SMRT are running their train and bus services overnight until tomorrow morning just for today.
More details about routes and timings are yet to be made available.
