So now SMRT buses decide to join SBST/TT/GA in crushing DDs into taxi stand.
What is LTA doing ? Still refuse to do something until maybe some one got seriously injured ?

Parts pulled from Japan bullet trains over crack fears
https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/asiapacific/parts-pulled-from-japan-bullet-trains-over-crack-fears-10000336
The Japanese company behind the country's iconic bullet trains said Wednesday (Feb 28) it had supplied nearly 150 faulty wheel parts that could crack and potentially cause a derailment.Kawasaki Heavy Industries launched an investigation after a crack was found in its parts under one carriage of a "Shinkansen" in December.Kawasaki found that the likely cause of the crack was that steel frames connecting the wheels to the chassis were thinner than regulations stipulate. -
Japan's manufacturing industry has a lot of scandals, such as counterfeit data, etc. As consumer, I feel worried about that.
-
But Japan provides us train components and cars, the accidents only happen in SMRT. But the basic reason may be from the components.
-
That's horrible. Japan Shinkansen is still trustworthy? Now Japan is bidding for the high-speed railway project between Singapore and malaysia. If the company with such quality win the bid, the consequences could be disastrous. I deeply concerned about that.

Japanese heavy machinery maker must move fast to regain customers' trust
