11 defective trains repaired and returned to Singapore

They are part of the 26 trains shipped back to China for repairs.

The Land Transport Authority (LTA) said 11 of 13 defective trains that have been shipped back to China are now repaired and returned to Singapore. Ten are put into passenger service, whilst the 11th train is still undergoing testing.

Together with SMRT, LTA has been closely monitoring the condition of these trains, and there have been no defects detected since, it said in a statement.

LTA has been working with SMRT and Kawasaki-Sifang to rectify the defects found on 26 North-South and East-West Line trains. To date, 13 of the affected trains have been shipped back to the factory in China for repairs.

“We are working closely with Kawasaki-Sifang to complete rectification works of the remaining trains by December 2019,” LTA added.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
