Peiyi confirmed with TOC that there was a temporary closure of the Sengkang LRT for more than 15mins. TOC has also written into SBS transit for clarification.

In Exercise Greyhound (2012) carried out jointly by LTA, SBST and SMRT, social media was identified as one of the evaluation criteria for public communication during service disruptions:

“LTA, as the exercise coordinator, assessed SMRT and SBST’s arrangement for free travel on existing public bus services, and the operation of bus shuttle services to provide transport service between the affected MRT stations. They were also tested on public communications, which included promptly informing the public of a service disruption and providing regular updates at the stations and through the media and social media channels such as twitter until normal service is resumed.”

However, till today, SBST has yet to create and maintain a facebook account for commuters to be updated in the event of any service disruption.

本地英语时事网站《独立新加坡》(The Independent Singapore)在本月1日(上周五)发表声明,撤回两篇指责职总富食客的文章。 在去年11月19日,《独》刊载了两篇文章,其中一篇指读者分享有年迈小贩被富食客“欺压”,在农历新年期间申请缩短营业遭拒,为避富食客罚款,被迫工作18小时,导致过劳死。 至于第二篇文章,指一名小贩女儿申诉,其父亲在富食客管理的樟宜机场第四航空楼食客开档,担任主厨。因为脚伤,想向富食客请假数日,不过却遭罚款3500元。 《独》在声明中指出,经向富食客厘清事件,并不像原文所提及的情况,有关年长者被迫工作18小时而致过劳死,因此决定撤回有关文章。 至于富食客在昨日(4日)接受《今日报》访问,透露已经和《独》达成和解,并对后者的声明感到满意。 办免费法律咨询助小贩 不过,《独》的附带声明中也指出,有意履行社会责任,在每个月拨出一天,为小贩们提供免费的法律咨询服务,协助他们更好地厘清合同交易的事务。也呼吁小贩们在签署任何合约前,应先咨询律师意见,且必须照顾好自身健康。 去年,《独》的报导出街后,富食客认为《独》的其中一篇文章存误导讯息,曾要求《独》撤下有关报导小贩过劳死的文章并道歉。 当时,富食客也有发表文告,澄清事情来龙去脉: 《独》:除非能证明造假才删文…

轮胎漏气、司机身体不适 网友助截停车子施援

若在路上看到有车子缓慢行进,大部分人都会直接越过,但是眼尖的网民发现一辆缓慢行驶的轿车,已有两个轮胎漏气,急忙上前阻止,甚至还发现了轿车司机的身体虚弱,几乎不能步行了! 署名Amy Sim的网友今日(6月10日)在脸书群组 SG Road Vigilante发帖,指她今天在榜鹅路(Punggol Drive)遇见一辆缓慢行驶的轿车。眼尖的网友当时发现了轿车的左边,即乘客座那一边的前后车轮都已经漏气了,吓了一跳,立刻跑上前“堵车”。 她向车子的男司机解释车子状况后,就帮忙后者招来拖车师傅。 在等待拖车师傅时,网友发现男司机非常虚弱,于是就问他是否需要联络其家属,但是男司机坚持表示自己很好。而当拖车师傅抵达,才发现男司机单单是下车、行走数步,再上拖车师傅的卡车都很困难,双脚无力。 网友不禁开始担心,若继续让男司机继续驾驶,或将危及他自身和其他道路使用者的安全。 Amy指出,男司机居住在榜鹅第288栋组屋,希望有认识的人士或认识其家属的人士能够伸出援手,劝请男司机勿在身体不适时驾驶。帖文中,她也感谢拖车师傅伸出援手,协助这名“行动不便”的男司机。 网民们对Amy的做法按赞,认为这种热心人士是社会不可或缺的一部分,值得效仿和学习。…
