SMRT CEO staying to 'put everything right'

If you want her to step down, please vote here.
Thank you.

"The paper added that SMRT’s net profit rose from S$56.8 million in 2002, when she joined, to S$161.1 million this year."

If the net profit for the SMRT is so healthy, so why keep asking for fare hikes? We are all ordinary citizen with just an ordinary income. It frustrate us so much having to pay higher fare and yet seeing so much disruptions. Not just the inconvenient caused to us, but also the confident of our safety in time of emergencies.

If SAW is really that GOOD, why was she retrenched from DFS????

She didn't fix these problems in the last 9 years at the helm.... what makes you think she can fix it now? She should step down now and let someone else more qualified to clean up the mess she made, and bring SMRT forward.

SMRT = Saw Must Resign Today

You are not a good leader
You can't lead and talk c**k
You are useless and hopeless
You have no Engineering paper qualification
You sit there because you know someone on top

Our advice...please get lost !
Your face make us vormit !

i was wondering why it took so long to discover the faulty trains since everyday they had the chance to conduct checks...Why the "last minute" discovery? Are they sleeping?

How dumb is this, she had all the time to improve, but after being exposed, she want to make it right?

I don't really care whether she resigns or not. One way to make it up to the whole nation is to lower the train fares because they do not deserve the raise at all for the substandard service that they are providing the nation. Shame on them~

"No good leader will leave the field when the battle is on" she still shamelessly consider herself as good leader?

You guys don't see it. She just needs to hold on till she gets her bonus then she can leave her post!!! This year she managed to help SMRT rake in double profits to$161 mil. What else do you think she is holding on for?

I saw,u saw,they saw,everybody saw what had happened...Saw must step down.

Attention all mechanical engineers!
Have you read this in today Straits Times?
Our MRT trains are powered by electricity supplied to the trains via a third rail which is held inplace using steel claws. Some claws were found to have fallen from its mechanical mounting. So now our SMRt engineers use plastic or nylon cable ties to hold these claws in place. These plastic/nylon cabel ties are so commonly use these days to tie things together. These also use to replace handcuffs use by our police force.
Question is are these nylon cable ties strong enough for use to hold the steel claws in place .
This is definitely not safe at all. The power suppy third rail made of steel and heavy, suffers from vibrations from moving trains. The claws are placed at 6.5meters apart...how heavy are the steel third rails?
This is a joke that our SMRT engineers are doing this. Anyone from our ST Engineering wants to show the SMRT guys what mechanical engineering is.

Every person managing public services like SMTRT are NEVER users of such services. This applies to several Government Bodies as well. Yet, they are all grossly well-paid for doing the job that never allowed First-Hand exposure/experience. If only these personnel are conscious of this and take all necessary step to become part of the real public that lives through such experiences daily...repeat daily and not "occasionally" as it's totally different and can never be the same.... In other words, are our Ministers, serving the citizens of the Singapore, be prepared to live life "identical" to the common people and take the necessary actions to improve services, life-styles, offerings along those lines??? Work for the Public, live like the Public....

A train is so simple...electrical and mechanical.....and she knows nuts about these 2 ...and still can be CEO......meritocracy ?????

as a ceo whom promise that nothing will happen but yet broke down 3 times.. i can only say your skin as thick as elephant. We don't need you to amend the mistakes, we need someone better than you to lead saw phaik hwa

This is what happens when a "goverment based" company is run like a private for porfit corporation. There are many other factors that determine a "world class transport" apart from making world class profits.

Go figure......her track record
26 breakdowns,5 security breeches,daily train delays,8 fare hikes,trains packed like sardines,people risking their lives walking down dangerous tunnels,$2M salary + 9 months bonus,an army of foreign trash doing maintenance

She has zero experience in transportation yet she got the job. Who chose her?

of course there's an increase in profit...they have been rising the prices every now and then..what's so great about her anyway?

If she resign, how is she going to bill the ugly, messy, punky hairstyle everytime she goes out of the house. Furthermore many contracts still have not been secure to ensure her retirement future somewhere in europe or usa for her and her entire clan...
