Discussion on a proposal to rename the article "Safety on the Mass Rapid Transit (Singapore)" is taking place at "Wikipedia talk:SGpedians' notice board#Mass Rapid Transit (Singapore) related articles.". — Cheers, JackLee –talk– 15:31, 7 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The title you propose sounds odd to me. Alternative suggestion: Safety on the Mass Rapid Transit in Singapore sounds much better and it is clearer. See WP:NCDAB: a parenthetical word should be a generic class, or a subject, or a context; I don't think "Singapore" is any of these. 128.232.1.193 (talk) 15:54, 7 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Jack, I think you jumped the gun on this a little, as there's still a discussion in progress at Wikipedia talk:SGpedians' notice board#Mass Rapid Transit (Singapore) related articles.
Re: the parenthesis, I gather the reason is that the proper name of the system is "Mass Rapid Transit", so they're needed to qualify that that this is Singapore's version (and not the one in Bangkok, Delhi, Kaohsiung, yadda yadda). If this is to be changed, then the parent article should probably also be renamed accordingly. Jpatokal (talk) 05:05, 8 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
