SBS Transit, SMRT Trains and ST Engineering team up to upgrade rail maintenance

They will facilitate efforts to improve electronic card repair and diagnostic support, amongst others.

SBS Transit (SBST), SMRT Trains and ST Engineering have partnered up to share engineering knowledge and capabilities in various areas to add depth and breadth to Singapore’s rail maintenance capabilities, an announcement revealed.

One of the areas for collaboration is in electronic cards, as they are critical components of the city-state’s MRT trains and signalling systems. To reduce the incidence of faults and decrease the downtime for repair work, the partnership will facilitate efforts to improve local capabilities in electronic card repair and diagnostic support, which is expected to contribute to better rail reliability.

As part of the three-year agreement, the three companies will also be free to explore other areas for collaboration.

According to Leong Yim Sing, SBST’s head of rail, the agreement will further deepen the parties’ capabilities in rail engineering and maintenance as well as allow them to leverage on each other's strengths and experiences to further develop solutions to improve rail reliability and performance.

ST Engineering will provide expertise from the land systems and electronics sectors and contribute in the area of rail electronics, advanced diagnostics and maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) to deliver reliable in-country support for rail operators.

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.

30 One-Sentence Stories From People Who Have Built Better Habits

None of these stories are mine. They were sent to me by readers of Atomic Habits. My hope is that these examples will illustrate how real people are putting the book into practice. They will show you what people are actually doing to build good habits and break bad ones. And hopefully, they will spark some ideas for how you can do the same.

SBR 5 Lorem Ipsum News 2 [8 May]

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
