Converting SMRT into a wholly owned state company and assigning ownership of the infrastructure and rolling stock to the Land Transport Authority (LTA) while SMRT moved to an asset light operating model under which it leased the trains and operated the services was supposed to solve the problem of under maintenance.

However, comparison for the sake of comparison often leads to skewed interpretations, akin to the tendency of benchmarking ourselves against some of the world’s oldest metros, like London’s 160-year-old system.

When comparing rail reliability, it’s easy to look at seemingly staggering statistics and make hasty judgments. For instance, Taipei Metro’s impressive 16 million train-km between delays in 2022 may make SMRT’s 1.65 million km seem paltry.

SMRT’s saga is a reminder that while financial sustainability is crucial, a balance needs to be struck between maintaining affordable fares and ensuring reliable services.

“Trust is not what you say, it’s what you do” It’s hard not to recall what Singapore Democratic Party (SDP)’s Secretary-General Chee Soon Juan said in 2019, reminding Singaporeans that broken promises by the ruling party indicate that “trust is not what you say, it’s what you do.”

Because SMRT no longer had to pay dividends to private shareholders it was theoretically supposed to remove the constraints which had led the company to skimp on maintenance.

The MRT Disruptions Are Yet Another Dent in the PAP’s Reputation for Competence

Back in 2016 the Government got Temasek to buy out the private shareholders in SMRT after a series of breakdowns culminated in a massive power failure in July 2015. This was after massive disruptions led to the departure of the then female CEO Saw Phaik Hwa, whose appointment was due less to competence or qualifications but rather due to her close friendship with Ho Ching, the CEO of Temasek at the time. Ms Saw’s experience was in retail rather than mass transit or engineering and she was blamed for years of underinvestment in maintenance.

Underinvestment isn’t confined to SMRT. Rather it seems to be a growing problem under the PAP which has been cutting back on investment to generate bigger and bigger current account surpluses with the aim of accumulating ever larger foreign reserves

SMRT was taken into full state ownership skimping on maintenance and checks driven by the need to pay dividends was a factor in past disruptions. This was supposed to have been removed by buying out the minority private shareholders. From the limited published financial information SMRT is still making a (marginal) profit after tax. Have financial constraints from parent Temasek been a factor in the latest accident?
