Dr Fatimah Lateef: To ask the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Home Affairs in view of the recent malfunction of the Singapore Flyer (a) which agency/department provided safety clearance for the Singapore Flyer to commence service in February 2008; (b) what was the time lag for activation of the rescue department, SCDF and the police; (c) whether there was any communications delay; and (d) what will be the course of action taken to ensure future safety.

Mdm Cynthia Phua: To ask the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Home Affairs (a) what safety processes and requirements did the Singapore Flyer operator have to comply with before they were granted a licence to operate; (b) why a manual cranking installation is not required to be installed at the Flyer; and (c) at what point in any incident is the operator required to call in the Singapore Civil Defence Force.
