At 12.20pm today, Singapore Mass Rapid Transit (SMRT) announced another delay, this time on its North-South Line (NSL) due to a train fault.
On its Twitter account, SMRT said that there will be an additional 30 minutes of travelling time from Yishun to Bishan towards Marina South Pier. However, it noted that the train service is still available.

SMRT then noted that free regular bus services were available from Yishun towards Bishan.

Around 20 minutes after its first tweet, SMRT updated that the fault has cleared and trains are progressively returning to normal speed.

A moment later, it tweeted that train services have resumed and free regular bus services have ceased.

Given the fact that the delay did not occur during peak hours, there were not many complaints posted online.
A Channel News Asia reporter Kenneth Lim, took a picture of commuters who got out from Ang Mo Kio station due to the delay.

Rin, a commuter, asked SMRT, the reason why there was only one gantry opened at Ang Mo Kio for outbound passengers resulting in a long queue.

跨性别学生遇霸凌、遭施压 本地性少数组织发文抨击教育部

昨日(26日)傍晚五时许,至少有五名青年站在教育部大楼外拿纸牌抗议,也举着象征性少数群体(LGBTQ+)的彩虹旗。 他们呼吁教育部长黄循财,应停止对性少数群体的歧视,维护学生在安全及受支持环境下学习的权利。 最终警方到场,仍有三名青年在场,警员警告他们停止活动不果,便逮捕了三名示威者,其中两人是学生。 较后性少数权益组织新加坡粉红点,联同Prout、Ready4Repeal、Sayoni、TransBeFrienders以及TransgenderSG等,发表联合声明,强调上述抗议活动显示本地青年长期在体制下“被隐形”,他们面对的困境被压制。 “他们相信已经用尽了正式够同管道,除非采取让他们冒着风险的严厉行动,否则他们的声音不会被听见。” 声明中也提及他们提呈给联合国的报告,显示至少77.6巴仙公开自己跨性别身份的学生,在校园都曾经历霸凌或性骚扰等负面体验。 不到三分之一受访者认为在校园是安全的;只有24巴仙受访者反映有可以求助的职员。 报告也指一些学校管理层似乎曾试图阻止跨性别学生转换性别,或是提出不合理要求、即便有高水准表现的跨性别学生也被施加压力而最终离校。 声明指责,教育部未能确保跨性别学生在校园取得同等的扶助。 事缘早前有18岁跨性别大学生,在Reddit上控诉教育部阻止她进行荷尔蒙补充疗法。 该名学生指出,她认为自己是“由男性转为女性”的跨性别女性,此前曾被心理卫生学院诊断出患上“性别焦虑症”(gender dysphoria)。…
