SINGAPORE: The , MRT train service disruptions , this month affecting three different rail lines, the continued rise in drug reoffending rates , and the threat of terrorism on the back of an assault case at a church , are  , expected to be raised when parliament next sits on Wednesday ( Feb 26 ) for the Budget debate.
Members of Parliament ( MPs ) have also raised concerns about the possibility of additional cooling measures from the public housing authority, ways to improve aviation safety, and the advantages of Singapore being the location for the music video for British band Coldplay.
Following three problems on the North-South Line, North-East Line, and Circle Line in less than a week, MPs asked what steps would be taken to avoid similar situations on the MRT system in an attempt report released on Tuesday.  ,
The company outages occurred on Feb 7, 10 and 11, affecting peak-hour adventures.
The Land Transport Authority announced on February 13 that it was carefully examining the main causes in collaboration with SMRT, SBS Transit, and  .
Leong Mun Wai, a non-constituency member for the Progress Singapore Party, requested a status update on the learnings gained from the problems and what steps will be taken to stop further teach breakdowns.
Similar questions were posed by Hougang MP Dennis Tan of the Workers ‘ Party ( WP ) regarding steps to reduce or prevent similar incidents in the future. He even wanted to know if any repair issues led to any company interruptions.
On the threat of terrorism, MPs filed issues in light of the recent abuse event at Church of the Holy Spirit , and several international problems.
MP , Christopher de Souza from Holland-Bukit Timah GRC noted , that the incident at the temple was the next one in less than half a time. The first was held in Bukit Timah’s Church of St. Joseph in November.
Mr. de Souza questioned how the Ministry of Home Affairs ( MHA ) plans to strengthen cooperation between religious institutions, their surrounding communities, and security organizations to be able to detect potential security threats early and stop them.
He also inquired about whether the government intends to provide more guarantee to the community regarding their personal security at places of worship.
West Coast GRC MP Rachel Ong asked , whether institutions, places of worship, facilities and public organizations are being prepared to respond to possible terrorist attacks, in view of the fall of fundamentalist challenges.
In addition, WP MP Gerald Giam from Aljunied GRC inquired about steps being taken to stop intentional automotive driving problems in high-traffic places, including at nightclubs and public occasions.
He also questioned whether MHA had risk assessments conducted in Singapore to assess the likelihood of such problems, and if so, what were the main observations and action plans.
There have recently been reports of automobiles ramming into pedestrians in other countries, such as in Germany earlier this month when a car accident in Munich’s southeastern city left 30 people injured.  ,
