AFTER taking over the hottest seat in town, newly-appointed Transport Minister Khaw Boon Wan wasted no time in roping in his adviser - an engineering expert who helped diversify Singapore's water supply - to improve the nagging rail issues that observers said prompted the shock resignation of his predecessor.
