SMRT and the Ministry of Transport and PTC owe Singapore an official explanation on how the public transport can break down within a span of two days despite the fare increase approved in Oct 2011.
This breakdown cannot be allowed and an complete audit must be conducted by the MOT on the public transport operators for the severe drop in standard.
Beside the audit, the transport company will have to decrease the fare for the service standard drop and pay a hefty fine for the incident.
PM Lee have assured Singaporean that his ministers will do their part to serve Singapore.
This is the time to do THAT work.

luckily someone was smart enough to do it before people dropped from lack of air...
and if SMRT tries to punish the one who did it, the whole corporate structure deserves to be dragged out and tortured to death.. beginning and ending with the hag-troll CEO

Breakdown on North-South MRT line
SINGAPORE: Train services along the MRT North-South line are down.
Channel NewsAsia is getting reports that services are affected on both directions, from Marina Bay to Braddell.
There is darkness reported at some stations.
One viewer said he is stuck at Toa Payoh station.
While another said he is held up between Orchard and Somerset stations and that the train is in total darkness.
Another viewer, Nizam Rahim, said his wife is stuck in a train at Dhoby Ghaut station and commuters are being evacuated and walking out of the tunnel.
Peak hour traffic is also affected in some parts.
Passengers described scenes of confusion, as they tried to make sense of the situation.
One commuter, Adam, said he and hundreds of passengers were stuck on the train travelling from Somerset to Orchard.
The electricity appears to have been cut off, as the train was in total darkness.
Neither did the air-conditioner seem to be working.
Adam said: "We have been stranded there for one hour, and it is very hot and stuffy. The train doors are all closed. The light also suddenly (switched off), so it's total darkness.
"The train doors (are) also not open, and it is terrible.
"A lot of people angry, banging on the windows to break the windows, I don't know whether (the windows) can (be) broken or not, so that the air can come in. It's very stuffy, it's like a sauna."
Adam later told Channel NewsAsia that the train appeared to have been towed to Orchard MRT station.
Someone in one of the carriages then forced the train doors open, freeing the trapped passengers.
Another commuter, who wanted to be known as Mr Tan, spoke to Channel NewsAsia from Raffles Place MRT station.
He was on his way to work, and heard several announcements asking passengers to avoid the North-South line and to take the East-West line instead.
Mr Tan said: "A lot of us all have problems. There are so many people coming downstairs and people telling them the train is not moving anymore. I think the crowd is getting very big.
"The only thing I know is that I'm late for work, so I have to take alternative route. So I quickly ran upstairs to get a taxi, hopefully I can get a taxi. Now I'm still trying to get a taxi actually."
Another spoke to us from Toa Payoh station, and said there were long queues of people, who seemed to be requesting refunds.

I don't think they will
The most fine them 20-30k

It is a crime under the Singapore Law, not by the company.
They have hammer at the bus, none for the MRT.
It will be interesting to see what they do about it .
But, I believe I will be disappointed.
Not sure about the rest of people who are trapped in the train and drained of air.
