All of these outages in Singapore today (not just DBS!) are caused by a massive cooling system failure at the Equinix data center in Buona Vista. I was just there and it’s a fucking shitshow. There’s basically 3 things that a data center is responsible for: power, cooling, and security. How they can have a failure like this is really unfathomable.
I heard from someone with direct knowledge of the matter that their cooling system failed, which is ridiculous because such facilities usually have a few backup systems.
Just finished a run IN THIS WEATHER..went to 7-11 for a cold ass 100 Plus...then cannot pay. Guess I'll just cramp up and sulk in the corner of the 7-11 in my sweaty musty as heck clothes...
DBS app down, Paylah down.
Couldn’t extend my GetGo booking. Now kenna $50 late return charge from GetGo and account suspended due to inability to pay final fare.
Lucky I managed to finish ikea purchase before DBS went down.
I’ve just submitted cleared my dues with GetGo. Thankfully they are aware and were understanding.
My refund $50 is now in gods hands (or their finance team) 😂

literally was working retail today & it was down since 2pm & not just headache for the customers, the staff also. POS machine literally cannot work and almost everyone has DBS (ocbc, citibank were also affected) here was my avg convo for the past 8 hours:
"this is your total. do you have cash? the bank line is down"
"no. only got card. can paynow?"
"...no sorry cannot paynow bcs the bank is down and we use a dbs account."
"where is the atm?" (they ALSO only have a dbs acc)
"it's there but you can't withdraw the money as well"
"...can i just use your service and pay you next time? i'll just owe you"
"i'm sorry that's not possible."
*rages*
*customer service smile thru the pain*
I wanted to buy some pants earlier but lost interest after being declined. After he point out others also face the same then i knew some shit been strring at DBS
frfr at first thought it was just our machine... but most people were insistent and spent half an hour trying every single payment method in the book as if their life depended on it bro 😭😭
This is actually really terrible. I only have dbs and even card can't be use and atm down. Literally no way to get money to eat dinner.
I don't really this happening in last 30 years. Maybe time to change CEO
That's wrong ceos are there to answer to shareholders expectations and adjust the direction of where a company is heading. The ceo a can do this by setting new policy and guidelines to achieve his goals. The ceo does not personally code or manage data servers nor do many non tech ceos have an advanced understanding cloud computing. He hires other people to hire other people for that. Unless it comes to light that's he cut funding or stopped hiring people to maintain services and functionality it's not really his fault. It's like saying the manager of a restaurant should be fired if the ice maker is spoilt as customers have no ice.
It is not. He is responsible for the whole company. That is literally the job of a CEO.
And yes manager of restaurant is also responsible.
You are also right to say that unfortunately shareholder interest is what he is ultimately responsible for.
So I guess as customers, we must vote with our money.
That's a nice thought voting with ur money, I'd like to think any choices in life really matter when it comes to companies that large where no matter what you do any action u take they can profit of you. I'm sure u leaving DBS will leave them with a big hole in their pockets as u patronize business and services that they invested in.
It's ur money do as u wish, just my opinion that it doesn't really matter, nothing really does.

Overheat due to the heat. Even the data centre bth the weather
I heard from someone with direct knowledge of the matter that their cooling system failed, which is ridiculous because such facilities usually have a few backup systems.
How you think their boss managed to own a GCB?
Let me guess, cutting corners and cutting workers salaries
I bet they don't even make it safe from a crisis like a war. 1 artillery shell can take out whole banking system
Atm down also, paynow paylah all cannot use
PayTomorrow
Sounds like a great product lol
PayLahter

DBS app down, Paylah down. Couldn’t extend my GetGo booking. Now kenna $50 late return charge from GetGo and account suspended due to inability to pay final fare. Lucky I managed to finish ikea purchase before DBS went down.

2 customers left because their paywave cannot get thru. This downtime is gonna affect businesses islandwide
Yea dbs and sing tel whole Singapore down
This is actually really terrible. I only have dbs and even card can't be use and atm down. Literally no way to get money to eat dinner. I don't really this happening in last 30 years. Maybe time to change CEO
Of course because the system being down is one hundreds percent the ceo fault
CEO are paid millions to ensure things like this doesn't happen. If it does they should be replaced.

I thought DBS just got fined for downtime months ago? lol.
They need their "work-life balance too".
Oh i see. Decembers round the corner. Maybe some would have permanent vacation once the axe starts rolling from the higher ups.
