“Trains travelled at slower speeds and passengers at Chinese Garden were asked to detrain and board two additionally deployed trains to continue with their journey,” said SMRT Corporate Information and Communications Vice President Patrick Nathan in a statement to media.
“Our technicians later retrieved some jewellery pieces (an earring and two beads), which caused the door to jam,” he added.
