Two SMRT trains collided at Joo Koon MRT station on Singapore's Circle Line while a new Thales-supplied signalling system was being trial-run alongside the old system; the mismatch caused a train to remain stationary on the track undetected by an approaching train, injuring 28 people. Thales publicly apologized and Singapore's LTA fined SMRT S$1.9 million.
