When you're launching something as sensitive and intricately complex such as a whole new train line, you'll need all the help you can get — including divine aid. Transport Minister Khaw Boon Wan needs all the help he can get right now, especially since the opening of Downtown Line stage 2 this Sunday would be his first big project since he took on the job. As such, he summoned the leaders of Singapore's Inter Religious Organisation to check out the new Gali Batu Depot, who in turn summoned the blessings of various Gods and deities.
You might guess that the efforts of SBS Transit's best engineers and technicians weren't enough; but Khaw assures that "staff were appreciative of the effort".
