Interesting! But actually this is not the singly thing with an "interesting" name in Singapore - well at least as long as you speak Czech. ;-)
You see, the mass transit company in Singapore is handled by the Singapore Municipal Rapid Transit company, abbreviated SMRT. There is also a SMRT corporation (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SMRT_Corporation), SMRT buses, the SMRT abbreviation is heavily used on train, stations, basically everywhere.
Well, in Czech "smrt" means literarily death. So let's say for Czech speakers riding the public transport in Singapore can be a bit unnerving - you stand at a station platform and then a train with "DEATH" written on it in big letters pulls into the station. ;-)
