1. "MRT service disrupted for 2nd time in 12 hours - CNA 26 Apr 2016
SINGAPORE: Train service on the North-South Line (NSL) was disrupted for about half an hour on Tuesday (Apr 26), less than 12 hours after four train lines were affected by a power trip in another incident. This was also the third disruption on the NSL in less than a week.
On Tuesday morning, a "traction power fault" stopped train service between Kranji and Woodlands MRT stations on the NSL.
In a Facebook post, SMRT apologised and said it is "currently investigating the cause to determine if it is related to last night’s power fault".
Singapore's MRT system has experienced a number of breakdowns since Apr 21, when there was no train service from Marina South Pier to Newton stations. Later in the day, the North-East Line was also hit by a train disruption. Train services were unavailable between Chinatown and Farrer Park stations in both directions.
This was after Transport Minister Khaw Boon Wan announced in a blog post that the NSL had passed the 100-day major incident-free milestone."
The one-step forward 2-step backward dance continue!
Hopefully the 'power line fault' thing can really be resolved. I am sure it is worrying a lot of people in high places and ordinary places. It will be a catasthrophy if it happen often and for a longer period of time.
The timing was most unfortunately too as the 'superstitious' can blame the Minister for being too quick to praise though I noted it as 'stating the fact that the NSL had passed the 100-day major accident-free milestone'.
2. "Norway to appeal prison condition verdict for mass killer Breivik
Norway does not agree that prison conditions for mass killer Anders Behring Breivik violate his human rights and will appeal an Oslo court's finding that they do, Justice Minister Anders Anundsen said on Tuesday.
An appeal was expected after Oslo's district court ruled on April 20 that Breivik, who killed 77 people in twin attacks in 2011, was denied his human rights by being kept in solitary confinement it described as a "completely locked world"."
Only in some liberal Western democracy where convicted killer has his say in 'human right'. For me, when one decided to TAKE AWAY another human life, all 'human right' 'entitled' somehow has to be curtained a little under open and fair trial and execution as the 'human that was KILLED will NEVER has to chance to talk about or exercise his or her HUMAN RIGHT'!
In this regard, Singapore will have to, in my opinion, stays firm on 'death' penalty for murderer. Just like the death penalty will NOT be lifted for drug traffickers that Minister Shanmugam had declared in the recent UN Assembly meeting!
