North-South Line (NSL) and East-West Line (EWL) experienced disruption during the morning rush hour on Friday (21 April).
Singapore Mass Rapid Transit (SMRT) announced at 5.30 am that there was no train service between Yishun and Bishan due to a train fault, adding that free regular bus service was available between the two stations.

An hour after its first tweet, SMRT said that the estimated resumption time would be at around 5.50am.

A moment later, it tweeted that the estimation resumption time was extended to 6am.

Complaints were posted by commuters on social media platforms.
@GRKAS wrote that there was a very long queue at Bukit Batok with no announcement made by SMRT.

@PIKACHUNNNNN wrote that the staff told commuters that the horrible crowd was due to peak hours.

Long after SMRT announced that the train service had resumed, Richard Jang wrote that the Yishun escalator just re-opened due to overcrowding on the platform.

2 hours after the train had resumed normal service, @sephblue said that the train was stopping every other minute. He noted that it took him half and hour to get from Yishun and Bishan.

   
There was no official announcement from SMRT regarding the delay which occurred along EWL, however.
Aleena tweeted that it took her 10 minutes to go from Jurong East to Clementi, adding that the train stopped for five minutes at Queenstown.

Kenneth Lee asked SMRT to put up notice regarding the delay.

Hasif wrote that he had to queue for 30 minutes at Bedok interchange.

2020大选选票及相关文件 将在本周六销毁

根据选举局今日文告,2020年大选的选票和相关选举文件,将在1月16日,运往大士南焚化厂销毁。 国会选举法有规定,选票以及其他选举文件,选后都需放入密封的箱子,并安全存放半年。 除非总统另有指示,选票和文件将被销毁,以保证投票是秘密的。 不过,选举局在去年10月曾指出,白沙—榜鹅集选区PN23的选民登记册,误被放入投票箱连同选票和其他文件密封。为此总统下令,选举官在1月10日当天或之后,在最高法院打开相关密封箱子,以便取出意外置入投票箱的选民册。 箱子之后仍要密封,连同其他箱子一同销毁。基于防疫措施,代表见证销毁仪式的参选政党代表人数将被限制。
