WP better check their facts right before claiming the MRT Sleeper Replacement Programme should end in 2012.

Looks like our dear TOC is a mouth piece of WP. Spreading misinformation without checking on the facts too!

FACT: Sleeper Replacement Programme only commenced back in Nov 2012 and was scheduled to be completed by 2019. However, after implementing machines, the replacement of the sleepers accelerated, the deadline has now moved forward to 2016!

SMRT is pleased to announce that the company is making steady progress in its sleeper replacement programme. Specialized machinery, known as "Road-Rail Vehicles" (RRVs), have been mobilised to accelerate the programme. Originally scheduled for completion by 2019, the pace of replacement along both North-South and East-West Lines are expected to accelerate as more RRVs are deployed and utilized over the next few months, so that the work can be completed by 2016. - See more at: http://transport.asiaone.com/news/general/story/machines-accelerate-mrt-sleeper-replacement#sthash.AJMFx7L4.dpuf

"SMRT is pleased to announce that the company is making steady progress in its sleeper replacement programme. 

So far, four of the so-called Road-Rail Vehicles have arrived. They will mechanise the replacement of sleepers (thick timber planks on which rail tracks rest), a process that has been largely manual till now. Image: AsiaOne

WP and TOC are rubbish. Why can't they just base their statements on FACTS!

Must everything is twisted and spinned simply to oppose the Govt at all cost?
