Another morning delay on North South Line without official announcement

At 7:51am this morning a tweet informed of a delay along North South Line (NSL) towards Marina South Pier:

xlcliangx then advised commuters to add additional travelling time of 5-10mins on NSL southbound after Ang Mo Kio (AMK):

Signaling fault, not track fault:

Lots of excuses #smrt ! Initially was "train fault" on NSL. Then "due to train ahead, this train will be delayed".
