the problem when u have a ceo
they always want to company to be 'profitable' so either to make them look good or increase ther pay

but they will do all kinds of miscellaneous thing to cut expense or cut corners to be more exact...eg cut on maintenance,,,and say we dont want to 'over-maintain'

in the end of the day
it doesnt matter if smrt made money or not
its a public transport...
prority should be smooth running of trains OVER profitabilty..
since it is no longer a public listed company ...there is no 'shareholders' to answer to..but the 'sharehiksers/govt' annswers to us...the communters...not on company profitability or smooth running of trains..

It's fake one lah. They can't show a profit that is obscene else will incur the wrath of the public, therefore they do all kinds of accounting tricks to make it seem low, or they pay the senior management handsomely. The CEO of smrt earns close to 2mil a year.

Maybe money invested in new MRT lines up this few years
WFH may have cut ridership and slow tourists return.
