Many commuters took to social media to express their disappointment. The first tweet on the service disruption was made at 7.53 am, when one of the commuters, xlcliangx wrote that the train was moving slowly along NSL towards Marina South Pier after Ang Mo Kio.

At around 8 am, some commuter tweeted that there were announcements made on the platform by SMRT, stating that additional time needed due to train fault.

However, one of the commuters, xlcliangx, tweeted that the fault was likely to be caused by signalling fault.

A couple of hours later, commuters complained that the delay were still taking place. However, still there was no official statement made on both at the MRT platform nor on the social media.
