but says SMRT's Bishan maintenance team 'has failed us'
Do you accept his apology?
SINGAPORE – In his first comments on the unprecedented flooding-induced train outage on Oct 7, Transport Minister Khaw Boon Wan apologised to commuters but pinned the blame squarely on operator SMRT’s maintenance regime.
“The bottomline is that MRT tunnels should not be flooded,” he said at a media briefing on Monday (Oct 16).
Noting that the holding tank reservoir under the train tracks has a 5,000 cubic metres capacity, dwarfing the 640 cubic metres of rainfall near Bishan that day, Mr Khaw added: “The SMRT team in charge of maintaining flooding system at Bishan has failed us.”

Desmond looks so pretty!!!!!!!!!
Now that is one helluva movie poster LOL.
LMFAO@ Tummy is too big. Epic but true comment.
This fucktard Khaw has the gall to come out and make a statement only after more than a week of silence???? What an interesting spin on the notion of sincerity.
No, the SMRT maintenance staff didn't let us down, they are the ones who toiled day in and out to make them trains run properly. If anything I am absolutely grateful to these folks. Stop trying to push the blame away you piece of shit.
YOU MR KHAW BOON WAN AND THE SHAMELESS PAPER GENERAL DESMOND KUEK ARE THE ONES WHO TRULY FAILED US.
APOLOGY NOT ACCEPTED.
