Early this morning, Singapore Mass Rapid Transit (SMRT) announced on its Twitter account that the East-West Line (EWL) is experiencing delay due to a platform screen door fault.
For its first tweet at around 9.30 am, it asked commuters to add 10 minutes of additional travelling time from Bugis to Tanah Merah towards Pasir Ris.

Around 15 minutes later, commuters were asked to add 15 minutes of additional travelling time.

A moment later, SMRT asked commuters to cater 10 minutes of additional travelling time and that it is recovering the service.

Many netizens took it to the social media to complain. Some of them had already complained about the delay before SMRT’s first announcement was made.
Many of them also complained that the delay was much longer than the announcement, saying that they have been waiting for at least 30 minutes.

仍有民众不适应阻断措施 全民防疫意识待加强

我国自上周起落实“阻断措施”,敦促民众务必遵守安全距离,也开始劝民众上街都要戴口罩,更规定15日起民众外出都必须戴口罩,否则将面对罚款甚至被控上法庭。 而近期网络流传的部分视频,也说明新措施的落实仍有民众仍无法适应、甚至于不配合。4月12日起,国家环境局强制民众需戴口罩才能进入巴刹。但网传有妇女仍不戴口罩。警方趋前劝阻和索讨资料,妇女还拿出手机拍摄警方。 显然,宣导和教育工作有待加强,让民众意识到局势的严峻和遵守防疫措施的重要。 至于此前涉嫌在牛车水大厦小贩中心拆掉桌椅塑料封膜的82岁阿叔,目前正接受警方调查是否违反安全距离措施。
