Singapore Mass Rapid Transit (SMRT ) and Land Transport Authority (LTA) have just announced on Wednesday (2 November) that their preliminary investigations into the major service disruption on the Circle Line (CCL) on that day could be similar to that of the incidents in September this year and said that temporary telecommunication signal suspensions to be carried out to assist in investigations.

CCL experienced intermittent loss of signalling-related communications on Wednesday morning that led to multiple delays of train services at various locations within the network. Preliminary investigations by LTA and SMRT indicate that the nature of the faults could be similar to that of the incidents that occurred on the CCL in September this year.

LTA and SMRT said yesterday that they had arranged with the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) and mobile network operators to suspend telecommunication signals along stretches of CCL for short periods of time to assist in investigations, should similar signalling faults recur. They said that if temporary telecommunication signal suspensions have to be carried out, there would be in-train and station announcements along the affected stretches.

真人版蜘蛛侠?维修人员七楼单位外修空调

电影里的蜘蛛侠看过吧,但所谓“高手在民间”,日前一名空调维修员,也必须爬到七楼组屋单位外修理空调,期间还坐姿潇洒地坐在距离地面约20米的空调上面,但旁人看了都为他捏一把冷汗。 根据公民记者网站《Stomp》报道,上周六(14日),一名网友将维修人员坐躺在七楼空调上的情景拍下来。据悉,这位维修人员,是在位于惹兰都亚(Jalan Dua)的达哥打(Dakota)第97座组屋单位内修理空调。 网友表示,维修人员就如同蜘蛛侠一般,在空调上坐躺。维修人员的行为就被网友父亲所拍下。 “我爸爸在拍照的时候下雨了,这相当危险,让看着的人都替他倒吸一口气。” 网友也表示,虽然他当时正戴着安全带,但仍然存在着很大的风险,因为该组屋区内的空调设备都相当老旧,而且大多数都是安装在居住单位之外。 “我不知道其他单位的空调维修是否也用同样的方式修理”,网友表示。
