There's such thing as taking a bus you know.
Your boss doesn't care if you have to wake up at 5am to get ready to take the bus from Jurong to Pasir Ris.

ACxI think the jams will continue until midnight or 1am.
Even without this breakdown, commuters are already packing the last train services on the NSL every day.
Cab drivers will huat today as people are forced to take the cabs after midnight.

its a honest mistake by SMRT for the wrong choice of words cos they follow a template
Quoted from Yahoo! Singapore Newsroom
With regard to the photo posted below of the message in the SMRT taxi, we have confirmation of its legitimacy and a statement from an SMRT spokesperson:
"We are sorry for the oversight. Our staff used a template and we have since corrected it."
The spokesperson also said that their taxi staff sent out a wrongly-worded message, and that they have since spoken to them to change it. -
this is the template.
Income Opportunity. Dear partners, <insert text> . Partners
im sure the lines in between were generated on their own. no one typed them
but something somewhere in the system just happened to know something happened with the trains and from which stn to which stn.and im sure someone did not hit send. the msg got broadcasted on its own or by some unnatural forces.
we are not dealing with just a train crisis and doofus for transport system management, we got ghosts broadcasting templated msgs to cabbies.

Train Service Disruption Update as of 16 December 2011, 1.14am
Train service resumed at 11.40pm.The disruption is caused by a damaged third rail between Dhoby Ghaut and City Hall MRT stations. The faulty third rail damaged the collector shoes of four trains, which caused all of them to stall:- One train at Braddell station- One train before Orchard station- Two trains at Dhoby Ghaut stationOur engineers immediately went onsite to attend to the fault and repaired the third rail by 9.52pm, and thereafter conducted a full inspection of it.One train was stopped between Dhoby Ghaut and City Hall stations. Passengers in the train were detrained on the track to exit at Dhoby Ghaut. Traction power was switched off to facilitate the detrainment and our investigation. After power to affected trains was cut off, emergency train lighting and ventilation came on. Lighting and ventilation in the tunnels remained switched on throughout.We activated a two-way bus bridging service at 7.33pm between Marina Bay and Bishan stations, and extended the service at 8.23pm to Ang Mo Kio station. We also ran a dedicated one-way bus bridging service from Bishan to Ang Mo Kio stations to provide alternative transport to passengers. Average frequencies were 5 minutes. As at 11.40pm, 87 buses were deployed for bus bridging.SMRT issued travel advisories through radio stations and our website to inform passengers of the disruption and bus bridging service as well as advise them to make alternative transport arrangements. Commuters were also advised to leave congested areas and stations. Public announcements were made in stations and trains, and signs were displayed in all stations.SMRT activated about 300 staff on the ground to assist passengers and resolve the fault.Passengers who were unable to complete their journeys due to the disruption can file a claim for refund at the Passenger Service Centre in any of the 68 SMRT stations.SMRT apologises for the inconvenience caused.(taken off SMRT website) -
lighting and ventilation was switched on throughout?
or was that just in the tunnels and not in the trains where the people were?
anyway, Tuck Yew is in Cambodia and his Minister of State is very quiet about this

the official statements im believing are those in fb and twitter

look like there is very big problem in the smrt managment. -
The template is really stupid... How on earth the msg is passed around just like that...

Throughout the confusion, I realised one thing is missing.
The ministers are always there when medals are given, performance are given and party are conducted.
But, where are they when there is a REAL crisis.
None of them come forward to express any concern towards the incident.
Except for Mr Lui, he should have released an official statement through proper channel and NOT through FACEBOOK.
(Note: Did he break any regulations and laws using FACEBOOK to issue an official statement for appointment holder ? Any one can posed as Mr Lui in FACEBOOK so an official statement should be released.)
The press should also quoted him through an official release from the ministry and NOT from FACEBOOK.
Did the press break the law also without quoting from the official release ?
There is serious lapse of security and accountability in this case.
If a DJ is penalised for not getting proper clearance for highlighting the breakdown, higher standard and proper procedure should strictly adhered to for the appointment holder and the media.
