SMRT was yesterday hit with a S$1.6mil (RM4mil) fine by the Land Transport Authority (LTA), over four train service disruptions
Taken together, it is the second highest fine meted out by the authority on a rail operator after the S$2mil (RM5.1mil) incurred, also by SMRT, for two massive breakdowns in December 2011. The Singapore-listed firm was fined S$400,000 (RM1.02mil) and S$900,000 (RM2.3mil) for two “serious safety breaches” that occurred on Oct 9 last year and Jan 22 this year respectively.
