[Internet Meme] Where have you seen Ms Saw Phaik Hwa?

Via EDMW. I did not photoshop these pictures ah.

The meme was inspired by the stunning image of SMRT CEO Saw Phaik Hwa dressed up as Cleopatra and carried on a throne by an entourage of half-naked men.

You are welcome to contribute if you are interested. Here’s the link to the transparent background template file.

Meet the Queen of SMRT Saw Phaik Hwa

Other than being a Taiji Grandmaster, SMRT CEO Saw Phaik Hwa also enjoys playing queen to an entourage of bare-bodied muscle men:

Tribute Music Video: SMRT Ruins Lives (to the tune of Jingle Bells)

After a breakdown of the Circle Line on Thursday and the North-South line yesterday; SMRT scored a magnificent hat trick with another breakdown on the North-South line this morning. Check out the Twitter hashtag, #SMRTruinslives to learn of the latest news development. SMRT is on a winning streak; there may be more breakdowns to come.

My friend and fellow blogger, Kevin, made this tribute video for SMRT to celebrate their victory in continuously ruining people’s lives for three days in a row. It is sung to the tune of the Christmas classic, “Jingle Bells” to go with the festive season. Enjoy:

Btw, do check out the fantastic double SMRT headline news this evening on both our Chinese evening papers:

True Story: SMRT President & CEO Saw Phaik Hwa is an Ardent Practitioner of Taiji

"Seawiciously" hor

It is stated on SMRT‘s own Board of Directors page on their coporate website:

“Ms Saw is an ardent practitioner of taiji and sits on the Council of the Singapore Jian Chuan Tai Chi Chuan Physical Culture Association as President and as Vice President on the Executive Committee of the International Wu Style Tai Chi Chuan Federation. She is also appointed as Governor for Singapore and Malaysia for the international body of Wu’s Tai Chi Chuan Academy as well as 3rd Vice Chairman of Singapore Wushu Dragon & Lion Dance Federation.”

In today’s news, SMRT CEO Saw Phaik Hwa apologised to commuters for the five-hour long train disruption on yesterday evening.

Ms Saw promised that SMRT would spare no effort to prevent a recurrence of Thursday’s incident, and will look into the incident management plan and crowd management.

She also said that she would consider calls by some for resignation to take responsibility.

I am sure Ms Saw and her team at SMRT are going through a tough period now, working hard to improve our public transport system.

Nonetheless, a little humour won’t hurt to lighten the tension Ms Saw is facing (this blog post is obviously written tongue-in-cheek). I am sure she knows the right and fair things to do after a thorough investigation of the incident.

Who was the hero who smashed SMRT train window yesterday during the breakdown?

Was it an Alien?

It was a 31 year-old Singaporean insurance agent. Well done dude. I sewriously hope SMRT would not slap him with a fine for vandalism as the act was committed under extreme circumstances.
