Singapore recently saw a spate of breakdowns, and delays, due to signal faults.

Here are some pictures from the ground.

It is in some ways, quite impressive.

This has lead to a few disgruntled commuters setting up this petition.

Here is their pitch.

"Train disruptions and delays have continued unabated and at increasing frequency since 2011, despite the Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong apologising and promising to fix the problem during a rally then.

We are only passed the first half of 2017 and already, we have lost count on the number of disruptions which have been happening everyday without fail.

As such, we are petitioning for SMRT to be entered into the Guinness Book of Records for the highest no. of delays and disruptions for a developed Asian country.

Please support this Petition. Together let's keep our world moving!"

Here is the support.

421 signatures as of the time of this writing. Their goal is to reach 1,000 signatures.
