SMRT fined $50,000 for Changi Depot incident

THE Land Transport Authority has imposed the maximum fine of $50,000 on SMRT for failing to 'exercise due diligence and vigilance expected of a public transport operator'.

On May 17 last year, two foreigners had entered the Changi Depot and sprayed graffiti on train carriages.

One of them was Swiss national Oliver Fricker, who was later sentenced to five months' jail and three strokes of the cane.

He has since served his jail term and has been deported.

The second suspect has not been apprehended.
