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.

AWARE:受害者反映对防性骚扰海报感不舒服

上周,妇女行动及研究协会(AWARE)对最新的防性骚扰犯罪海报表达看法,质疑将性暴力“明码标价”的意义,也认为海报没有考虑到受害人承受的创伤和痛苦。 “为什么我们必须在性暴力上“标价”,并判断它的价值?是否判刑一年,就显得比较“值得“?还是六个月?这对造成伤害的人又值多少?我们迫切需要改变对性暴力的讨论与界定。” 对此,新加坡警方也很快作出回应,表示设计理念是希望通过强烈的视觉效果,强调犯罪后果的严重性,以对潜在犯罪者起到威吓的作用,也指AWARE未事先咨询警方,且不理解设计理念。 针对警方回应,AWARE 于周日(17日)则回应,性暴力是社会中存在的问题,而作为性别平等倡导团体,AWARE 有责任教育公众如何看待性暴力问题。 AWARE 澄清公开评论并非针对警察部队,同时也支持警察试图传达的威吓信息,认可比起过去一些海报,将责任推卸到受害者身上,有着重大的进步。 然而他们忧心的是,新海报为罪行“标价”,以及犯罪者在海报内以手触摸女性部位的视觉效果。 “将价格与受害者比喻为商店货架上物品,仿佛只要犯罪者愿意支付该“价格”,便可实行犯罪行为。海报内并未明确说明犯罪行为是错误的,只是提到“代价不便宜”。使用这样的方法去宣传防犯行为,忽略掉受害者的经历,以及公众对受害者的同理心。” 有受害者反映对海报感不舒服 AWARE…
