Source of MRT suicide clip footage a mystery

More than two months after clips of two suicides on MRT tracks were posted on the Internet, setting Netizens abuzz, the case of the unauthorised SMRT recording has ended without any conclusive source of the leak.
The police had conducted a probe and submitted their findings to SMRT, but "the person identified ... is not an SMRT (employee), nor from the other agencies (Land Transport Authority and the police) that have access to the footage," said an SMRT spokesperson.
However, Today understands the person used to have a working link with SMRT.
Still, "no criminal offence has been disclosed" based on police investigations, a police spokesperson told Today.
The police, who interviewed the 16-year-old blogger who had put the clips on his website, have also told him that no charges will be pressed.
"They only asked me down (to the police station) because they were curious how I got the videos," wrote the teen in his blog.
The incidents occurred at Yishun and Admiralty stations.
SMRT has been looking into the police findings since the start of March, but now its investigations into the circulation of the closed-circuit television footage (CCTV) are over.
"We have reviewed our processes to control access to such material. This has already been completed and implemented," said the SMRT spokesperson. Now, "access to CCTV footage is only upon authorisation by one designated senior member of the company".
Meanwhile, there will be changes to make areas around MRT and LRT stations barrier-free over the next five years.
The LTA is installing road facilities for the less mobile within a 400-metre radius of all stations, following a successful trial at Simei MRT station late last year.
The entire project will cost $60 million and will be implemented first in mature estates such as Redhill and Commonwealth.
