SMRT Internal Investigation Team Completes Work
1. Following disruptions to train services in December 2011,
the Board of Directors of SMRT Corporation Limited
commissioned an Internal Investigation Team (IIT),
independent of management, to review the causes of these
disruptions and the organisation's response to them, and make
recommendations to both prevent a recurrence and improve the
organisation's response capabilities to mass disruption
incidents.
2. The IIT has completed its work and submitted its report to
the SMRT Board. The SMRT Board has in turn submitted the
report to the Committee of Inquiry (COI) convened by the
Government.
3. Since the December 2011 incidents, SMRT has been
implementing its improvement plan with a view of preventing a
recurrence and enhancing its capabilities to respond to train
disruption events. SMRT appreciates the findings and
recommendations provided by the IIT and will carefully study
and evaluate them, and consider further improvement measures
that may be required.
4. We await the findings and determinations of the COI and
will implement further improvements as may be needed.
