Lancheow fucktard from Malaysia, conduct simi lan mingkia? Just take over the transportation portfolio and already yaya and wayang like shit. Act like his is some big shot, order LTA to conduct collaborative exercise between the 2 transit operators for emergency contingency plans. Also he ordered the CEOs to personally attend the exercise to make sure skyving is happening. hahahahaha. Why don't he ask himself for such a small peesai land, why must have 2 transit operators (SMRT and Comfortdelgro)? 2 transit operators mean 2 sets of CEO, management, office overheard, board of directors etc. So fucking inefficient and unproductive, and goes against all common sense. If there was only one transit operator, then there is no need to co-ordinate or collaborate. The operator simply implements its contingency plan, overseen by LTA. Penang Cow forgot to ask himself why the transit system he admires so much, Hong Kong's MTR, only got one transit operator. They used to have 2 but merged them many years ago. Since he seems to think they are superior to our MRT, why don't he do the same and consolidate the 2 that we have. Or is that too obvious a logic? I am a simple man, and I am mystified by this wayang from Penang Cow.

SINGAPORE - Transport Minister Khaw Boon Wan has directed the Land Transport Authority (LTA) to conduct a collaborative exercise with rail operators SMRT and SBS Transit this month, in order to test the enhanced contingency plans put in place following the crippling July 7 breakdown.

He will be present to observe the exercise.

In his latest blog entry titled "If and when it happens...", Mr Khaw wrote that it was important to recover service speedily and minimise inconvenience to commuters in the event of another major train disruption.

"There must therefore be comprehensive contingency plans for breakdowns. More importantly, there must be actual and regular walk-throughs and 'live rehearsals', he said.

"This will ensure smoother execution of such plans when disruptions happen."

Mr Khaw, stressing the need for both operators to walk through each contingency plan related to every MRT station, also spoke of how the top management should be present at such exercises.

"Otherwise, the staff may carry them out half-heartedly, just to put a tick in the check boxes," he added.

He also repeated his previous assertion that "low crime does not mean no crime", pointing out that even the best in class - the Hong Kong Mass Transit Railway (MTR) - experiences an average of one major disruption per month.
