The recent spate of bog downs at the MRT reminds of the "Love Bus" in the 70's to 80's. Well maintained and manned by courteous drivers and conductors - they soon dwindled in number and eventually vanished - mainly because of poor maintenance and management. Imagine if the MRT was a nuclear power plant! The thought makes me shudder! This is an indirect result of the brain drain - competent and qualified people are all busy working overseas and earning the pay they deserve.
