SINGAPORE - When a power fault first struck the North-South and East-West lines on Oct 14, SMRT's first focus was to avoid having to evacuate passengers on stalled trains, said its chief executive Neo Kian Hong on Wednesday .
The two staff members have been suspended, and will have to undergo retraining and recertification before they can resume their duties, said Mr Neo at a media briefing. The Land Transport Authority on Wednesday said passengers had to be detrained from 15 stalled trains - three on the Circle Line and 12 on the North-South and East-West lines.
It noted that regular bus services plying the affected stations were made free immediately, and 120 shuttle buses were mobilised to ferry commuters.
WTAF! This is clear scapegoating to save the skins of the top brass where the buck stops. Shameful.
