Aren't we talking about bigness of heart here? If SMRT makes a mistake for their sake, should they not stand by SMRT to take the heat together? :? I am doubtful that they would draw the line so clearly that SMRT is the one who makes the mistake as I give them credit that they are at least grateful to SMRT for extending the help to them.

If that is where you are coming from, you should reword your statement to \"apologised for the mistake on behalf of SMRT\".The school has exercised due diligence, i.e. informing ahead of the large crowd coming. I don't think the school would know that SMRT has to seek LTA's permission nor to ensure that SMRT does that.

As I read your original statement in the simplest form(???), you implied that the school made a mistake.

Take the heat together? The school has certainly taken the heat together with SMRT, being on the receiving end of all the bitter criticism.

I always believe that if one makes a mistake, he should bear full responsibility and not blame others for causing him to make the mistake. If a worker makes a mistake at work, it's not right for him to blame his buddies for partying with him the night before and making him lose concentration at work.

In this case, SMRT made the mistake. No one should blame ACSI for causing SMRT to make the mistake.

OK, I apologise if my wording was not clear but one had to link to the context of post I made with the quote, it was not made in isolation as a blame on ACSI, so no simplest form was meant to exist. Definitely not blaming ACSI in anything as I said at the beginning of the post, I made my stand clear they did the right thing for their purpose, just that the bigness of heart did not fit the discussion. The botak boy was quoted out of context.

Btw, I draw a line between \"taking the heat\" and \"taking the heat together\". It means totally different things.

Pardon me, the chartering of trains is a business transaction. ACS management is not expected to know the feasibility, rules and regulations of SMRT. They proposed, SMRT, accepted, since it was capable of handling. It overlooked a regulation. I dont see why and how it is any responsibility of ACS even a moral one. I would in fact I applaude their thinking. They acted in the best interest of the school , general public and environment.

I agree they do not have to, they are not obliged. But if they do, then I applaud them, that is the bonus.

[quote=\"sushi88\"]As expected,

(1) LTA explained the NE cases
(2) LTA gave a gentle warning because LTA also has common sense about (A).

Their tone has not been harsh from the beginning in all the reports, loonies just blew it out of proportion against ACS, just like the NLB case was blown out of proportion and very much agenda-driven.

I think whoever spoke for LTA initially should have chosen his/her words a little more carefully. \"take action\" could be interpreted to mean that they intended to mete out some penalty, whereas 'investigate\" or \"look into\" would be more ambiguous and leave more wiggle room.

I think you have overlooked that their name ends with \"Authority\", their job is not to PR around by sugar-coating their words. They mean business especially when the contract clause has already been invoked, they have the rights to take action. They do not have to wiggle out of anything, the wrong act was already committed. If they decide to be lenient, it is really their prerogative and I respect the fact that they do look into other factors before coming to the decision.

When an authority shows leniency, I hope we are not taking it for granted that it has become our right to act wrongly and nice, worthless words have to be spoken just because of ground pressure.

Hubby & I are so so impressed by this post (see below, copied from ACSI Confessions) written by an ACS rugby player who was part of the team that played at the National Stadium last week.


While some adult netizens are bickering small-mindedly over 5 MRT trains, see what goes in the mind of a 13, 14 year old. He shows bigness of heart. WOW! πŸ˜„

\"So the Goh Keng Swee Shield is back home. Game over! Mission accomplished! Coaches happy parents proud praise aplenty! We can now breathe.

This is our year; this is our call: bring home the Shield whatever the cost.
Don the Bumblebee, shave to bald, not an individual but the Botak Team. So we Samson botaks be - for ACS's cause. Scratches and scuffles, sprains and pains, one by one - we took them all. From Hong Kong to CCAB and to the Stadium we went, chasing down our foes with big margin wins.

And now a proud moment came, a sweet taste of glory. The golden medals on our necks, the cheers loud and clear. I saw painted faces, flying flags, flashing cameras, reporters too! I heard friends calling out names. As I stood there with my band of botaks, singing that grand illustrious song, my heart surged with pride as I made sense of it all. I forgot the mud rain and sun. I forgot the tough tedious drills. O sweet victory it was.

Then.. as I looked up the red white stands, I saw that golden kallang wave: principal, teachers, family and friends. I saw my friends clapping, smiling with pride. I saw my family, their eyes fixed on me.

A moment of epiphany it suddenly dawned, as I fought back my the tears in my eyes.

For suddenly I felt so humbled to know, we botaks weren't the only ones who came for the Shield: THE WHOLE SCHOOL had come with us to take it home..!

So THANK YOU every one! - for going with us and coming for us, all five chartered loadful of trains.

TBIYTB!

P.S. And please don't try to guess which botak wrote this. Anonymous botak let me be : )
Before I write, I must make my stand clear. I am actually supportive that ACS took the train to the game. However, I do not mince what they have done with what the authority has set as rules. If the rules are violated, it is up to the authorities to show leniency, not for us to criticise them. However, we can suggest.

So this post about the botak boy feeling high with the school supporting them in the game has nothing to do with being bigness of heart. How??? :? I believe it is very easy for me to feel the same proud moment for my school too but bigness of heart??? 🀷

Just because the \"aura of light\" was shining on him to see the support he got from the school, it did not remove the fact that a rule was broken to make that happen for him. I will only agree with bigness of heart if he had thanked SMRT and LTA (and all the people who took MRT for understanding the importance of this event to them) and apologised for the mistake on behalf of the school and shown gratefulness that it was eventually overlooked by LTA. So the hero is now ACS? LOL

I think we have watched too many movies that glorify such moments in a wrong way. No doubt I agree there are loonies who over-criticised ACS on the net but ACS just need to stay focus that SMRT has broken a rule to make things happen for them and acknowledge the mistake made. Humility in a bigger way works, defending a wrong action with a \"righter\" action does not, especially when the \"righter\" action is not about saving lives, only saving pride. I do not quite understand the part he felt humble to know, the whole school came for the shield. He should know from the start, when he wins, he wins as ACS, not a certain botak.

In the right spirit, I congratulate ACS for winning the Shield that is important to them and happy for them as the school spirit runs deep and admirably, but remember it is not important to the people who travel on MRT at large. So please be considerate, then bigness of heart applies.

PS: I do not commute on MRT.

LTA not taking action against SMRT...


http://transport.asiaone.com/news/gener ... red-trains
Said the spokesperson: \"LTA has a responsibility to safeguard the interests of the commuting public, to ensure that train services are provided as scheduled, and any additional chartered trips do not adversely affect the quality of train services for commuters and the maintenance of the trains and rail network.

\"It is, after all, taxpayers and public transport commuters, who fund the train system. If rail licensees, which are commercial entities, are free to charter out train services as and when they like without seeking the prior approval of the regulator, the commuting public may be the parties adversely affected.

\"LTA takes its responsibility to safeguard such interests of the public, vis-Γ -vis the commercial interests of the rail licensees, seriously.

\"With careful planning and execution, occasional train charters during off-peak hours can be carried out in an efficient manner without adverse impact to public commuters.

\"(1)For the past charters for National Education shows, the LTA being a member of the National Day Parade Executive Committee has oversight of transport arrangements required, and works closely with partners such as SMRT to allow chartered trains to be provided for students attending the shows.

\"That was why for these past charters, SMRT was not required to specifically apply to LTA for permission.

\"(A)On SMRT's provision of chartered train services on 26 August 2014, LTA notes that measures were taken such that there was no impact to normal train operations and commuter safety.

\"(2)While LTA will not be taking further action against SMRT, we have reminded SMRT to respect and fulfil its licence obligations, and that its primary focus must continue to be on providing timely and good service to public commuters.

\"We will continue to consider each application by operators to provide such services on a case-by-case basis.\"

Not packed? You sure? Whenever I go and pick my child up,
there isn't any vacant seat.

Not packed does not mean got seats. Got seats means the train car is practically empty. Maybe I have lower expectation of personal space when it comes to public transport at rush hours. πŸ˜‰

This would be a good common sense argument for the case to be treated mildly as a warning. When there is a contractual clause, it has to take precedence first.

Don't care about the contractual clause. That's between SMRT and LTA, and none of my business. I was directing this towards the lunatic fringe... :siam:

Best part is this is the Circle Line. Seriously. The trains are not packed on the Circle Line even at the peak period of 6pm-7pm. Off peak is like there are the whole of 10 people on each train car.
