Crime Library posters: SMRT replies
<!-- by line --><!-- end by line -->
<!-- end left side bar --><!-- story content : start -->
WE REFER to Mr Murali Sharma's letter regarding SMRT's arrangement with Crime Library to put up posters of missing people ('SMRT, it's a shame to pull the plug on Crime Library', Jan 9).
Every week, SMRT receives requests from individuals, and non-governmental and charitable organisations for the use of noticeboard and media space to promote their causes to our commuters.
Each request is evaluated and checks are carried out on the requests and organisations. SMRT supports many of these efforts. However, it is not possible to assist everyone, as our noticeboards must carry other information, such as transport-related schemes, and health and security matters that affect millions of commuters.
The organisations we work with are aware that our support is for a limited period as our spaces are always in demand. Our support for Crime Library with free noticeboard space, from October 2006 to July last year, was one of the longest.
We recognise that SMRT is a part of Singaporeans' lives, hence we are always ready to aid our community. Besides sponsorship of media space in our network to promote various causes, our community efforts also include volunteer programmes in which our staff help out at our adopted charities, and monetary contributions from our company.
Over the years, SMRT has lent support to myriad causes, such as social services, education, the environment and the arts.
We remain committed to making a positive impact on the communities we serve.
