    On 25 September 2024, Singapore experienced its worst MRT breakdown. A simple train fault on the East-West Line spiralled into chaos, crippling 9 stations and leaving a trail of destruction. As engineers raced against time to repair extensive damage, one question looms large: how did a routine malfunction escalate into a full-blown crisis?

      Some trains from other countries including Japan has trains of older age than our oldest fleet still in revenue service. You may argue that Japan consistently have new train but those older trains simply continue their operations on those less well-known lines.
