Transport Ministry is in a big mess.
previous transport Minister Iswaran was interested in free expensive wines ,free expensive travel/concerts, free expensive hotel and free expensive F1 tickets.
look like he had been neglecting in SMRT train maintenance for many years.
Iswaran should be accountable for this serious SMRT breakdown since he had spent time on free expensive things instead of on SMRT.
