49 Mr Yip Hon Weng asked the Acting Minister for Transport (a) why has MRT reliability fallen to its lowest levels since 2020 with even newer lines showing significant declines; (b) what proportion of breakdowns are due to under-maintenance and poor equipment quality; (c) how effective are the upgraded signalling systems; and (d) what measures are being taken to address the root causes.

Mr Jeffrey Siow: This question has been addressed in the oral reply to Parliamentary Questions 19 to 24 at the 22 September 2025 Parliament sitting.
