Watwheels Supersonic February 2, 2014 Share February 2, 2014 Ah lau climb gate, then can go to track But how the hell ah lau manage to climb that low wall?!?!?!? No need to climb. At both ends of the station there's a locked gate/door leading to the tracks. Looks like someone forgot to lock the gate. Aiya, they will call it a lapse in security instead of negligence. Whoever on duty will kenna extra. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightkids 6th Gear February 2, 2014 Share February 2, 2014 Should check the CCTV to ascertain how the old man got over the fence & onto the track. Hope he is okay why must he climb over the door when he can jolly well walk to the front of the platform, open the door which is not lock, walk down to the track! ok, upper ground platform likt CCK, Gombak, Batok all the way to redhill i know open la, eastern side platform i not sure bcos i don live there..... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slyison 4th Gear February 2, 2014 Share February 2, 2014 Wa lao eh! Maybe he waited for the train until sibeh dulan pek chek? Jokes aside..... Me as a NS man can't even climb the SOC (low wall) and yet this ah pek can climb over the auto sliding door? Let me guess..... Hmmmm.... Maybe SMRT fault again? They forgot to close the sliding gate before allowing the train to move off? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baal Supersonic February 2, 2014 Share February 2, 2014 (edited) The next report will say the man had a history of mental problem. Although this seems to be the style now, but the sad thing is that they could unfortunately be correct on this case. Maybe old man felt lonely and no family visit him during CNY. If 1 is already depressed & more so on such reasons, holidays/festive period tend to exacerbate these emotions. iirc, to be classified as suicide, there must be suicide note. With no note, only the cause of death would be reported. Eg, a) Rams a car into a tree. Unless theres a note, it will be.....man loss control of vehicle which smashed into a tree. He succumbed to his injuries x hrs later at hosp and/or he was pronounced dead at the scene b) Death by overdose, if no note, it would be deemed/reported as ......poisoning..... c) Death by tracks, if no note, it would be deemed/reported as ......man falls onto tracks..... d) Death by drowning, if no note, it would be deemed/reported as.....body found floating at the x river. Upon retrieving, pronounced dead..... Edited February 2, 2014 by Baal 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise some dumb fark will ask why vivo mgt no install safety net at every level to prevent accidents... It is exactly this sort of dumbfark Singaporeans that created the safety net below the RainDrop display at Changi Airport Terminal One; they fear parts of the display will drop on someone walking beneath. Ironically, the net allowed the crazy woman access to the copper rain drops where she subsequently damaged the entire display LOL! Stupid farks.

Except that the 154 is supposed to be credible and report all the right things Why is everyone blaming the papers? They reported what the police spokesperson told them.... A police spokesman said a call was received at 1.43pm, requesting for assistance at the station. "Upon police's arrival, it was established that a train had hit a man along the MRT tracks heading towards Expo MRT station," added the police. Don't you think that if anyone is to blame, it should be the police? You can't expect the newspaper to carry out an independent investigation. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bystander50 5th Gear February 2, 2014 Share February 2, 2014 (edited) " it was established that a train had hit a man along the MRT tracks heading towards Expo MRT station," added the police." why can't the shit times just write that he is a jumper? Esp with screen doors at the platform? Why must write so many useless words to confuse the reader? Too embarrassed that the platform screen doors not working to keep people from suicide? From day 1 I knew the doors were too low... like a low wall thats easy to climb over if u really want to.. if SMRT really want to prevent suicide, go for 3M high wall la... cant scale over wat... wayang only, SMRt and shit times... You must know, shittytimes is teaching us how to use different words to explain a similiar incident. You not sick of it, they also sick of it by saying "jumping off the tracks" all the time. Later say we sinkies complain they always use the same old words. I realised my Engar-ish improved a lot, flooding can also be called ponding. Why is everyone blaming the papers? They reported what the police spokesperson told them.... Don't you think that if anyone is to blame, it should be the police? You can't expect the newspaper to carry out an independent investigation. Maybe SMRT's PR team used those words in their press release. Mata's PR team just copy wholesale, don't bother to waste time editing since it makes no difference anyway. Shitty times re-printed everything wholesale, in case SMRT jumps in and say they are misquoted when the public quotes them on certain phrases.
