Don't you think the 2% drop can be during off-peak hour ?

Of course they think we stupid lah , I mean the 70% .

That is the problem they didn't specify in their financial report which I find it even suspicious . Also they only mention revenue from ridership . But what about other sources of revenue like advertising and retail spaces ??? And looks like somebody choose not to answer my questions .

How did they get the 2 % and why didn't they mention peak and off peak ridership ? How come still got maintenance cost ? Didn't LTA take over the ownership and maintenance of all transport matters . SMRT only need to provide the service . You really believe what they say in their report ? Also don't forget the government transferred a large sum of money to Temasek . Still they can lose money ??? SMRT not only generate revenue through ridership they also have other source of revenue. How can lose money ??? If really lose money this only shows that the ex-generals and ex-colonels do not know anything about running a business organisation . Thus I find their report questionable .

For sionglim ....

SINGAPORE - Rail operator SMRT has demoted a senior management executive after he was convicted of drink-driving.

Alvin Kek, 51, was chief operating officer of SMRT Trains when he was caught for driving while intoxicated in April. In June, he was convicted, and jailed for two weeks. He was also fined $4,000, and disqualified from driving all classes of vehicles for three years.

At the time, SMRT said it had suspended Mr Kek, who had a similar conviction in 2004.

In an e-mail sent to staff on Monday (July 16), SMRT announced that Mr Kek will be "demoted... and re-designated" as senior vice-president of rail operations. He will also forfeit his FY19 annual bonus.

SMRT employees The Straits Times spoke to were surprised that the company was retaining Mr Kek's services. But human resource practitioners said it was not uncommon for corporations to give valued employees a second chance.

Mr David Leong, managing director of PeopleWorldwide Consulting, said: "Mr Alvin Kek's offence was a personal indiscretion, and he was imprisoned as a result.

"From the HR perspective, though his offence did not compromise his performance of his role then, it was at the expense of safety considerations - which is a key and important part of his business operations. This is akin to not walking the talk."
