Alert for breakdown in service

In recent weeks, we have experienced the following major breakdown in services:

  • Two major breakdown in the N-S line of SMRT train service
  • Breakdown in internet service under SingTel
  • Unauthorised ATM withdrawals from accounts of DBS bank customers
SMRT promptly introduced a system of giving updates through Twitter. This was a good initiative but the drawback was that few of their commuters had Twitter accounts. SingTel promised to provide updates through the website, but it is usually difficult to access information from a website.


I have developed an Alert system for transport operators and service providers to inform the public and their customers about breakdown in service and to give updates on the restoration of service. This can be viewed through a browser on the mobile phone. A separate app will be developed on the iPhone.

You can test the Alert system using your mobile or laptop by clicking on this link:  http://www.easyapps.sg/alert/Messages.aspx.

Please help me to pass the word around, so that many people become aware of this app and the operators will be keen to use it.
