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, there is no mention of the train delay on SMRT’s facebook account nor its twitter account.

The below are the accounts by commuters who were affected by the service disruption.

“没有多少五年时间” 符策涫号召自愿者备战选举

工人党符策涫,直指人民“没有多少五年的时间,能够再作出对的事情”,并指反对党能够成为国会中强烈的异议与可信的声音,推动政府发挥最佳作用。 符策涫今日(10日)于脸书上发文。回忆过往2006年5月,他曾通过电子邮件感谢当时身为工人党领导人的刘程强成为国会中“无畏的声音“,以及为后港居民所付出的努力。 受到刘程强影响,令符策涫为之所动,也促使他成为工人党的一员。他忆述,在发完邮件后与刘程强首次见面,亦开启这条“无法回头之路“。 除了刘程强与工人党为选区所付出的,符策涫认为,国会中更需要多元的声音,亦是他选择加入工人党的重要原因。 符策涫也指出,尽管他未曾受过高等教育,但他仍想以自己的方式作出贡献,而他认为每件看似不重要的事都非常重要,所以他并不能够独自完成。 “即使做着平凡和简单的工作,也没关系,我为同胞和新加坡人服务,我也为此感到骄傲。” 谈及即将来临的下届大选,符策涫强调,“我们并没有另一个五年消耗,因此为工人党投票,这是你的权益,亦是你的未来,我们可以为你做出改变”。 除了符策涫以外,日前前非选区议员严燕松也诚邀公众加入志愿者行列,为来临大选做准备。 欲成为工人党志愿者,可前往工人党官方网站进行登记。
