[youtube id=”19U9wm_o1Oo” align=”center” mode=”normal”] A video taken by Joel Rasis, shows people crowding onto the MRT platform at Lakeside MRT station. People continued to pour onto the platform via the escalator despite already filled to the brim.
At around 7.30 am on Tuesday, there were train delays along the SMRT’s East West line which varied between 5 minutes to 10 minutes.
It was said by people who were at the stations at the time that announcements were made about trains being delayed for 5 – 10 minutes for those travelling from Outram to Joo Koon.
Joel, the person who took the video said that there were no instructions whatsoever by the ground staff to avoid the use of the escalator. The train that was on the platform had to be emptied out.
However, there was no update on the SMRT facebook fanpage nor twitter on the disruption to inform passengers of the disruption.
Due to the lack of announcement by SMRT, no MSM reported on the disruption in service.
It is most fortunate that the screen doors were in place else it would have resulted in serious accident due to overcrowding on the platform.

维文:进度落后 新柔捷运通车再延期

新柔捷运计划一波三折,原定于2024年底通车,再出现变故,已经确定无法如期通车。 暂代交通部长职务的维文医生,3月7日在国会拨款委员会辩论有关交通部开支预算时提到,新柔捷运项目由于进度落后,已经确定无法如期通车。 有关消息的宣布,令网民纷纷表示失望。 维文强调,新加坡在新马双边关系方面保持不变态度,我国将维护国际法,并尊重国际协定的神圣性。 马国未肯定合资伙伴 他指出,尽管新加坡曾经多次清楚向马来西亚表达,要遵守公开招标委任列车服务营业者的双边协定,但是马来西亚方面却一直没有确认合资伙伴,因此两国目前需要进行公开招标。 2月28日,马来西亚已经第四度要求延后截止日期到3月31日。 马国政府也曾要求两国在新隆高铁项目暂停期间,讨论日后的计划,但是维文表示截至目前仍未获得马国的任何相关提议。 维文表示,我国试图取得双赢,并且注重合理性和具建设性的解决方案。
