Looks like you can never rehabilitate a whore from Toa Payoh Brothel even when they leave the Brothel and freelance. Its already bad that it was the Hong Kong press that broke the story about Singapore's Govt incompetence in our own backyard and their cover-up which are the main issue. And the HK team did it with hard work and actual ground work both in China and Singapore.

Instead of demanding answers from LTA and the Govt, she and the Middle Ground team decided to fix up the HK brethren for using the drone to validate their story. Note how she is setting the stage by dragging in ISD. They are not terrorists for god sake. They are helping Singaporeans you arseholes.

Firstly the train issue affects all Singaporeans as it was obviously unsafe while operating here. Secondly its LTA and nothing to do with SMRT and they are checking with SMRT.

Still sucking up to the PAP Govt. Really sad.

“At approximately 3am, the two train cars arrived at Jurong Port, located in Singapore’s western industrial area. Using a drone camera, reporters discovered that six train cars had already been placed in one corner of the port. Cranes, derricks, and other large machines believed to be used for lifting trains were situated nearby.”
Regulations in Singapore for drone video recording or photography state that it is not enough to get a permit from the property owner to fly a drone, even in private property. One would typically also need a permit from the CAAS (Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore).

The pilot has to hold a drone licence from CAAS, which is like a driver’s licence and then needs to apply for a permit to shoot video footage. The applicant has to indicate the subject being shot and a general range of the airspace the drone will operate in. The takeoff and landing points must be indicated. A non-refundable application fee of at least $70 must be paid, regardless of whether the application is successful.

Some considerations the authorities might have will be whether the filming will compromise security, in which case it will be passed to Mindef (Ministry of Defence) or ISD (Internal Security Department) for vetting. Such places will typically be listed as “protected areas“.

On the day of the flight, the pilot has to call a number, which is normally the closest RSAF (Republic of Singapore Air Force) base, and inform the Duty Officer of the time and location of the flight and landing.

SMRT did not comment on the report and did not address the use of drones by FactWire."
