Linguistic training

Ever notice how Outram Park station is pronounced differently on the NEL and the East-West Line?
The NEL, run by SBS Tranist, goes "oh-tram", while the East-West Line, run by SMRT, goes "oo-tram".
I say their trains should go head-to-head to phonetically out-ram the other.

Also, both companies MUST randomise the multilingual platform announcements. Failing which, in an emergency, our Tamil-speaking foreign talents will be the last to run and first to die.
