Due to Star Awards Cermony tonight, WLDEP sent all 7 OCs to 963R
(all fleet add) to 'send' mediacorp artistes from HBF to RWS. Perm
buses also still on the fleet.
However the first OC rear wheel caught fire along AYE. It e-braked
and stop immediately. The rest of the 6 OCs behind all crashed
behind one another due to speeding. Injuries reported but luckily
no deaths. All mediacorp artistes are safe but some were unable to
attend the ceremony after that. All 7 OCs are burnt fully
to ashes and scrapped.
Mediacorp sued SMRTB for at least SGD 1 billion for its delay of
its Star Awards Ceremony and some of its mediacorp artistes'
injuries. All and each of every mediacorp artiste who took the 7
buses sued SMRTB individually for at least SGD 1 million for
personal injuries and damages. A few female mediacorp artistes also
sued SMRTB for cockroaches in the buses during the trip.
Unable to pay all the damages and the fees, SMRT
Corp decides to liquidate SMRTB and SMRTB will cease
operations from 1st June 2010 and bus services in the
North and Northwest will be hand over to another bus operator. All
commuters and residents living in the North and Northwest shouts
"Hurray!!!" :)
