[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.

何晶修改“呃…”贴文 称对台湾朋友贡献“始终心存感恩”

因周六(11日)下午发布的一则“呃…”贴文,总理夫人何晶却引起新加坡和台湾网民热议。事缘何晶在脸书分享有关台湾将捐赠口罩给新加坡的新闻报导,但贴文并未提及感谢、评论等,仅以“Errr…”(呃…)带过。 不过何晶似乎已修改先前贴文,写上数段落的文字,先是感谢台湾朋友们的贡献,“请理解我始终心存感恩”。 她称“我们都知道如今全球都在同一艘船- -对于尽力给予帮助、提供建议的人士,不论成功与否我都深表感谢。”不管那些努力成功与否,她都会珍惜这些诚挚的付出和想法。 “至于过失?早就原谅了!”不过何晶并未明言和进一步解释,所谓“过失”意指什么? 同时,何晶也呼吁大家应停止在网络空间互相打击对方或任何人、国家等,要打击的是冠状病毒疫情,只有携手合作才能打败病毒。 “这是我们现下至少要做的事,尊重那些已逝者,协助那些还在为自己性命奋斗的人,并且全力支持那些前线抗疫人员。” “与此同时,保持距离,口水就留给我们自己吧,保持安全。” 尽管此前有者猜测新科工程两条设于台湾的生产线无法及时运返,曾引起新加坡的不满,不过台湾外交部则回应,新加坡政府当时出于防疫需求,也因应台湾的口罩禁令,当时已将在台湾的两条生产线转移回新加坡。再者,生产口罩的机器设备并不在限制出口范围。 早前台方也表示新台关系“长远深厚”,双边政策不会受到个人发言影响,而是继续以两地政府为主。
