They are able to beat international competitions to run MRT trains for London.
Singapore SMRT and LTA cannot even solve its own train breakdown problem and have to rely on external help.

Hong Kong-based transport operator MTR to run Crossrail trains
A Hong Kong-based transport operator has won the contract to run services on the £14.5bn Crossrail train route, beating British rivals Go-Ahead, National Express and Arriva to the high-profile franchise.
MTR will operate services across the full route from 2019, with trains crossing from Reading through tunnels under central London to Shenfield in Essex.
London's mayor, Boris Johnson, said: "As hardworking engineers beaver away underneath our feet on the construction of Crossrail's tunnels, we are putting the final pieces of the jigsaw puzzle together above ground. I am delighted that we can announce the operator of this landmark railway, bringing it one step closer to welcoming passengers aboard."
MTR also operates the London Overground concession with Arriva UK Trains as well as running the metro system in Hong Kong. Jay Walder, its chief executive, described Crossrail as "a 21st-century railway for a 21st-century London".
He added: "Crossrail's success will be finally realised through pioneering and sustaining a culture to deliver world-class performance. We will work passionately with TfL to achieve this."
Crossrail will see the transformation of a number of overcrowded central London Tube stations and drastically improve cross-London journey times. However, the amount of government money spent on the project has led to accusations from politicians and campaigners outside London that the south-east of the UK is receiving a disproportionate share of infrastructure investment in the UK.
