Committee of Supply 2025 debate, Day 4: Melvin Yong on developing a robust rail system

02:00 Min

How did the recent train disruptions differ from past occurrences? Were these technical failures, human errors or external factors influencing the rail systems? How did the Land Transport Authority (LTA) and rail operators handle the train disruptions as they unfolded? Will there be a review of the current training and preparedness protocols for staff in handling major train disruptions? MP Melvin Yong raised these questions and more in parliament on Wednesday (Mar 5). He also wanted to know how LTA intends to use technology, including artificial intelligence, to establish a robust schedule for regular maintenance and inspections for the rail systems to pre-emptively identify and address potential issues.
