SINGAPORE: Declaring that trains were being returned to China for repairs due to hairline cracks could have caused undue panic, Transport Minister Khaw Boon Wan said at the Bishan Depot on Tuesday (Jul 12).


Mr Khaw said that going public for something that was "not a major event" might have caused unnecessary panic to the layman, noting that to engineers, not all cracks are the same.


"If all cracks are have to be reported when they do not cause any of those safety issues then they have to think about what is the impact on the ground," said Mr Khaw. "Looking back I think it’s understandable. We learn as we go along, sometimes even routine matters can be spun out of control as it happened in this case".

He added that if there was a safety issue, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) would have gone public.

"I think if it was a safety issue, LTA - I’m quite sure will - in consultation with MOT (Ministry of Transport) - will decide to go public immediately," said Mr Khaw. He added that if returning the trains would have affected capacity, MOT and LTA would have gone public to explain why.


LTA Deputy Chief Executive (Infrastructure and Development) Chua Chong Kheng added that any time LTA considers a train a safety threat, it would "never allow the train to go into service".

The great wayang show begins .
I think the son is smart to appoint these fcukers.
By their fcuked up ness, he looks good.
Khaw is competing with shanmugam to b asshole of the year.

Khaw's shit reminds me of how the US used to keep quiet on toxic shit dumped into rivers n radioactivity sky high rates becos it will make ppl upset.

Now they still dare keep information secret. Really fcuked up attitude. Garbagement really can't b trusted

If this is no fcuking big deal, then continue using the cracked trains n demand the Prcs send their technicians over n do patch work in spore.

And khaw still dare to say hindsight.
Really fcuking foreign trash.
I thought he damn fcuking smart? Why he thinks its a good idea to cover up first?
