Measures to keep subway operators from committing suicide due to work-related mental disorder are yet to be implemented and social dialogue to adopt the two-person team system has been stalled due to the budget.

In April last year, when the ninth subway operator committed suicide, the SMRT Trade Union staged a 96-day sit-in to demand the measures to tackle the identified problems of the one-person subway operating system.
