There was a power fault on NEL last evening (25 November) at around 9pm. SBS Transit only made announcements on the platform. Nothing heard on their SMS broadcast and Twitter account. This occurence was only known after Alternative Media posted on their facebook page.
Apparently a train was also stuck at Little India according to a twitter post by Delia Chan.

The last time LTA arranged an exercise to test the incident response of SMRT and SBS Transit was in August 2013. Then LTA said the following:
SBST was also tested on their public communications procedures, which included promptly informing the public of a train service disruption and alternative travel arrangements through the bus bridging and free bus services, as well as providing regular updates at the stations and through the media and social media channels until normal service is resumed.
Social media channels? SBS Transit’s Twitter account has laid dormant since 2012 and in 2014, they still don’t have Facebook page!
There also does not seem to be having such exercise this year.

星耀樟宜被质疑以双重标准待客,一名母亲表示其儿子曾因为穿着凉鞋而被拒绝进入“雪道”景点,却有名人之子穿着凉鞋入场拍照,申诉不满。惟被指名人的本地DJ林佩芬澄清,并没有获得特殊待遇,而星耀樟宜也表示是“工作人员疏忽”,不持任何双重标准。 网民Kailin Ng,于本月3日在脸书上帖文指出,她日前和儿子艾登(Aden)到星耀樟宜星空花园(Canopy Park)的“雪道”(Snow Walk)景点游玩时,本想让孩子看看《冰雪奇缘》中的雪道景点,但是却发现该景点有限制,仅允许穿包鞋的访客入内使用,因此无法进入设施内。 然而数天后,Kailin却在社交媒体上看见本地著名电台主持人林佩芬分享了和孩子一起在“雪道”景点游玩的照片,惊见照片中的小男孩穿着凉鞋,而主持人则在凉鞋外套上鞋套,因此质疑当局在待客方面持有双标准。 Kailin的帖文立刻引起网民的关注,纷纷为她“打抱不平”。 面对有关指控,星耀樟宜和主持人都发言否认。 星耀樟宜:员工疏忽 星耀樟宜接受《8视界》询问时曾表示,当局的首要认为是确保访客能在最佳条件下享用设施,因此才会有要求访客穿上包鞋才能进入的限制。 “出现访客穿着凉鞋就进入雪道场景事件,则是工作人员的疏忽,已经提醒相关工作人员,要确保访客穿着符合规定的鞋子才能进入景点。” 星耀樟宜也表示已经让客户中心和Kailin联系,邀请他们母子在到访星耀樟宜。…
