SMRT 2910
Image of the crowded platform by twitter@jenniefurry
Train delays along the SMRT’s North-South line (NSL) this morning at around 7am which resulted in waiting time to vary between 5 mins to 7 mins.
Sources informed TOC that announcements were made at the stations citing the delays to be caused by train fault at Ang Mo Kio.
Due to the delays, the platforms were crowded with passengers waiting to board the next train and some stations like the Sembawang MRT station stopped the escalator in view of the crowded platforms to prevent a repeat of the incident last week. However, there were still stations which did not stop the escalators from operating.
Passengers voiced out their grievances through twitter about the train delays and how they have been affected by it.
switch off both escalotar also late free ride to passengers switch off escalator 7 mins wait for SMRT escalator not working less crowded area
 
There was no update on the SMRT facebook fanpage nor twitter on the disruption to inform passengers of the disruption. TOC has written into SMRT asking for reasons why was the train delay not reported by the company, and will publish the reply once the company responds.
It is also unknown when the train service for the affected line resumed its normal services as there were no announcement made of initial train service disruption.
Update: SMRT has replied to TOC and wrote,

We refer to your feedback today, 29 October 2014 regarding train delay lack of announcement.
We will launch an investigation into your feedback on train delay. We have also noted your comments on missing communication on Facebook and Twitter account pertaining the delay. We have since forwarded your feedback to the relevant department for their investigation and necessary review.
Rest assured that we will endeavour to implement improvement measures and prevent similar lapses in future.
We apologise for the inconvenience this has caused our commuters and look forward to deliver more reliable services.

经济前景不乐观下 我国今年6月就业率微升至80.8巴仙

人力部发文告称,尽管存在经济不利因素,本地25至64岁居民的就业率,比起去年6月的80.3巴仙,在今年6月微升至80.8巴仙。更多居民在专业服务、金融保险业、资讯、通讯与社区和个人服务等领域就业。 至于65岁年长者就业率从26.8巴仙微升至27.6巴仙;但劳工收入增长缓慢,今年全职雇员的中位数收入预计增长仅2.2巴仙,比去年的4.4巴仙增长更慢。 低收入20巴仙群体从2014年至2019年,实际年均收入增长4.4巴仙,比前五年的3.8巴仙年均增长稍高。 PMET 失业率2.9巴仙 人力部认为至2019年6月居民失业率仍低,PMET(专业人士、经理、执行人员和技师)失业率维持在2.9巴仙,至于长期失业率从去年6月的0.8巴仙,微降至0.6巴仙。 至于中美贸易纠纷影响下,冲击制造业和零售贸易,使得非PMET雇员失业率增至4.7巴仙。 而人力部认为定期合约(fixed-term contract)员工的增长,也意味着雇主在此阶段对聘雇持谨慎态度。 人力部也指出,尽管与去年相比固定雇员比例从89.4巴仙微跌0.1巴仙,惟该群体仍是本地雇员最大比例;临时雇员比例则有所下降。 人力部称上述数据来自2019年新加坡人力报告预先声明。而完整报告将在明年1月31日公布。该部承诺与新加坡劳动力局积蓄监督人力市场,透过“适应与成长”(Adapt and…

领错尸体火化 殡葬业者执照被吊销

领错尸体火化,殡仪馆被起诉,执照被吊销。 国家环境局(NEA)于上周末(1月4日)指出,经过调查后发现,殡葬业者百年(Century Products)没有妥善保存接收或被领走尸体的记录,违反条例。 当局表示,调查也发现业者的建筑涉及违规侵权行为,因此在《环境公共卫生法案(殡仪馆)》条例下,将他们的执照吊销。 环境局发言人在回应《亚洲新闻台》询问时指出,“国家环境局认真看待持牌业者,以确保附有反腐设施的殡仪馆能保持妥善记录,并遵守环境卫生标准”。 当局也调查和谐殡葬礼仪公司(Harmony Funeral Care)员工的乌龙错误。 当局指出,和谐殡葬礼仪公司没有采取正确措施来处理尸体,其一名员工之前在新民路的停尸间,错领由另一家业者负责丧礼承办的遗体,并送往火化,导致严重错误的发生 发言人表示,当局已经禁止和谐殡葬使用政府在万礼和蔡厝港的后事处理设施,一直到他们能够向当局证明已采取适当的措施,避免事件重演为止。

三周后才通知客工确诊 人力部、卫生部称“行政疏失”向雇主道歉!

上周二,名为詹德拉的雇主,在脸书分享,在7月13日收到通知旗下一名客工确诊,但迟迟未被当局安排送往隔离中心,客工仍继续和11名室友同处一室。焦急万分、求助无门下,雇主只得上网把这件事情公开,求各界帮忙想办法。 卫生部和人力部在7月19日的联合文告,承认出现“行政疏失”(administrative error),迟至三周后才通知雇主有客工确诊,并向有关雇主道歉。 两个部门指出,上述确诊客工住在卓源宿舍,当局已联系雇主作出解释;与此同时,12名同室客工状况良好,且测试期间仍有医疗人员观察他们情况,也未出现急促呼吸症状。 有关客工和七名室友已痊愈,其余四名中,有三名新近感染,被送到社区护理中心,还有一名未被传染,但会在政府的隔离设施完成最后的隔离期。 根据早前詹德拉的脸书贴文,他指出客工是在6月22日接受冠病检测,但迟至7月13日才收到卫生部的简讯通知客工确诊。然而,即使客工主动要求隔离,也被宿舍保安告知没有空房,结果12客工仍继续共处一室,仅被要求戴上口罩。 詹德拉曾联系卫生部告知此事,但之后却仍没有动静,15日再拨电询问,岂知却被告知“系统中没有记录”,令詹德拉感到不论是宿舍和政府机构好像都在“踢皮球”。 根据卫生部文告,卓源宿舍从4月6日起就已被令隔离,6月22日,当局为客工进行抽样检测,以评估病毒的传播程度,让当局制定排查宿舍疫情的策略。 文告澄清,有关抽样检测不是针对个人的检测。上述客工和他11位室友,都被选中参与群体样本检测,而检测结果显示12位同室客工,有很大可能都被感染。 然而该部称,当局进行群体检测时却出现行政疏失,结果取样回来的拭子样本,只拿到上述确诊客工的。
