We're not trained to deal with emergency situations, train operators say


by Sumita Sreedharan

SINGAPORE - Both SMRT train operators that took the stand on the fourth day of the Committe of Inquiry said that they had not received training on how to deal with passengers in emergency situations.

Mr Mohamad Alwi Bin Sirat, whose train stalled between City Hall and Dhoby Ghaut, and Mr Hardy Bin Afandie, whose train stalled before Orchard station, took the stand this morning.

The two men had vastly different approaches to dealing with pasengers when their trains stalled with Mr Mohamad Alwi walking through his train to check on passengers and even allowing a passenger who was asthmatic to rest in his cabin while Mr Hardy stayed in his driver's cabin to wait for further instructions from the OCC. Mr Hardy said he had done so "for security reasons".

The men also had contrasting experiences with Mr Hardy not hearing any sounds or experiencing unusual jerks as he travelled between the City Hall and Dhoby Ghaut. In contrast, Mr Mohamah Alwi had heard a sound that sounded like plastic was being dragged but he had been unable to check as he could not look out of the windows when he passed this stretch

And if you observe closely, the 'security' personnel whom SMRT has hired are usually elderly, scrawny folks.

Perfect minimum wage slaves for profit maximization.

All they care is money, money and more money into their pockets. Money is always on their minds, money is always on their minds.

SMRT train drivers r trained to steer the trains, not trained to handle emergency situation... ok, assuming their pay isnt fantastic, so let's give them benefit of doubt that they dont know how to handle the situation.

whatabout the trans-comm mata?? though they may be NSF, dont tell me SPF use tax payers $ to train them to ride train like normal passengers, do nothing when emergency take place?

All factors have been carefully considered before the floodgates were opened up.To support the target 6 million population mark,we tested the exisiting mass of FT who commute on trains everyday and the stress tests all passed.

Unlike the obsese americans,most commuters are from china,philippines and india.Dun anyhow say we not trained to deal with emergencies hor.The tracks have not collapsed yet
