SMRT Breakdown.

I haven't been posting for quite some time, was really busy helping out the seniors with their Dare To Care campaign as well with projects. Though I'm busy, this week has been pretty alright for me, at least I lead the week happily :) There's just one issue that makes me really mad- people are demanding the CEO of SMRT to resign. Seriously, I don't think there's a need for that, it's a move that I don't support nor recommend. I was reading Yahoo! News the other day and came across this article, which makes my blood boils.

In any case, I'm sure the CEO shouldn't be held full responsibility for the disruption of the MRT services, it's pretty obvious that she is also having a hard time dealing with these incident, and as a nation, why can't we be united and help each other out, or at least emphatize with those who are actually being so stressed up with this issue? No doubt, SMRT has its faults due to this incident, but the CEO did nothing wrong. She didn't plan for this to happen, she didn't cause this as a result of wanting to sabotage her own job, her own reputation. I don't get why people want her to resign. Does her resignation makes those who are frustrated feel better or forget about this incident? NO. What will people think if she just resign? How is she every be able to lift up her head again? Once she resign, everyone will label her as the "fault" for this breakdown. She don't deserve this, all people think about is wanting someone to bear responsibility. Yes, someone has to bear responsibility, but definitely, not to blame the CEO fully for it. Maybe this time, she did made a mistake, maybe she overlook some technical issues, but did anyone actually consider the amount of stress that she is feeling right now, at this very moment? Do you really think that being a CEO is an easy job? To err is part of life, she is a leader of the company, yes, that's true, but which human being on Earth has not committed a slight mistake, even if it's a small one? I don't understand why people should give her a "death penalty" just because of this incident. I believe in giving others a second chance, let her prove to the nation that she still has the capability to lead and to ensure that everything of SMRT operates smoothly. When the train services are working normally, bringing people to places that they wished to go, sending them safely to their school or workplaces, nobody bother to even thank those who worked round the clock to ensure the transport networks are fine. When the train services broke down, people start to rant, start to complain, start to push the blame to someone who is going through a hard time as well. Stop for a moment and think, who want this to happen? Be grateful that the there's still bus services and taxis around to pick people up, be thankful that the service are resumed back to normal.
