Untold MRT Suicide Victims: MRT Machinist/ Operator
-
The suicide people hor.....should be more considerate loh....
Imagine if you drive a car...then someone suddenly came to the road, and u have no time to stop the car, and killed that person.....!
Blood everywhere.....body parts....
Will you be traumatized....? You feel like you killed someone....
Now this MRT suiciders....I feel they are neglecting the MRT machinist/ operator...
Imagine you are operating the MRT happily......then suddenly someone jumped into the track....you damn shocked and try to brake....but cannot....and hit the person...making some sound, see some blood, maybe see body parts.....then u anxiously wait the news from the firemen...who later told u the victim is dead...
Like this....I believe the MRT machinist might be traumatized...
And the worst thing is.....if someone is suay........because alot of suicides.....if he is especially suay, he will experience killing someone more than once....Imagine he is traumatized....then after afew months of psychiatric treatment, he is somewhat recovered already....then it happened again!

i agree. spare a thought for the driver.
-
say also no use one la. all they care about is them self.
-
say also no use what.
thousands cant go about doing their normal stuff just because one person wants to die by getting run over by the train. train driver gets traumatised for life. -
when they decide to die on de mrt track. they wun care less for the rest of de ppl in the train, driving the train, waiting to go home.
death to solve a pproblem is a selfish act.
hope those who contemplate to commit sucide please, please, life is precious. there r ppl out there fighting 2 be alive.
so be strong. keep walking. n dun end ur life this way -
Singapore 2009: MRT Suicide Rates Risen:
Every 3 in 5 suicide victims end their life by jumping down the MRT. SMRT is seriously facing a big problem with train operators quitting their jobs and this made MRT an 'unreliable' mean of transport. SMRT claims that their ridership had fallen tremendously by a million riders this year compared to last year. Not only them suffered. SBS and SMRT's sister company SMRT Buses are facing a sharp rise of ridership and this caused SBS to deploy more and more services till they came down to the last bus from each depot. This had caused major traffic jams in the CBD and the PTC had annouced yesterday that the MRT line will undergo refurbishment, including installations of barrier doors at each station. Due to this, SMRT had ammended it;s trains routes to be shortened. East West line will be shortened from Bugis to Queenstown and the North South Line from Bishan Depot to Marina Bay. SMRT will complete it's refurbishment works by 2011. -
If u sway sway one day while driving the train and someone jump onto the tracks giving u no time to do anything else except hitting E-brake button and wait for the train to stops fully. Victim died. And this happened twice in your few years wif the transport co. Will u still stay on ( to achieve a aces awards )or quit?
Any wat if its your first time kena this incident and after few weeks later you still getting a long term 'mc' excuse for driving train, only to do light paperwork. But up top got tua pek gong not happy 'mark' you. Will you quit or stay on to continue being 'mark' further? -
the way you post...
juz sounds so funny.. -
If you are unhappy with life, and you decide to end it, consider carefully. You only live once. Cherish this one life. Do not throw it away just like that if you're depressed. Even if your troubles are gone, what about your loved ones? Consider their feelings. Though your troubles are gone, theirs' are far from over. Even if you still want to end your life, there are many ways to do it. You can cut your throat with a knife, you can hang yourself from a tree, you can overdose on medicine, you can suffocate yourself in a locked room with closed window... etc etc.
So of all the ways to end your life, why jump in front of an MRT train? Why? By doing so, you have not only hurt your loved ones, you have also traumatised those who witness the accident. Think about the other passengers on the platform, waiting to board the train. They are calmly waiting for the train to arrive. As it drives into the station, they hear a loud honking of the train and a screech of tyres, followed by a loud thud. They turn their heads, to see the MRT train come to a stop, with a person sprawled underneath. How would they feel? Shocked, traumatised, with their hearts thumping like mad? And what about the train driver? He is driving the train normally, when a figure on the platform leapts out at the windscreen. He slams the brakes, hoping to prevent a crash, but it is just too late. A sickening crunch, and blood splatters on the windscreen. How would he feel? Guilt-ridden for the rest of his life, that he caused the unintended death of an innocent guy? And what about the undertakers carrying the body away? Or the people cleaning the train after the accident?
Is this how you want to end your life? Your troubles may be over, but certainly not for those who witnessed the accident. Think about it

Something to add on. Bits of human flesh or bones maybe sticking on the under chassic of the train. If not washed off properly, after few days sure sibei smelly. If come 7th mth didnt do a proper pray pray wait huanted how?
Will passengers be seeing a headless man 'walking' about t******* station asking passengers on the platform where ish his farking missing h**d?

7th month zui hao dont jump, especially at night
Later commuters freak out -
Hey guys! Man I have always thought of being a TO if all else of my studies cannot give me a job. Seriously I wouldn't mind seeing all this because I ahve seen it before (vehicular accidents) and hence I have no fear. Have went through some trauma and come out to be stronger person (I felt dah, maybe proven wrong at any time). The only concern i have is the 'mc' they give, you would not step into a train cab from then on unless you prove pyschologically alright, I think, or else it will be away from the controls.
For me, I guess SMRT will not employ me at all, because if I see someone jump, I will not press e brake because this may cause injury to other passenges on the train (Japan Railways does this, because their trains are long) but for me is passenger safety concern. So I will let the train brake to normal stopping point, monitor all systems in the meantime with professionalism, switch off the console with professionalism, announce to passengers that there is an emergency with professionalism. Not be in distress and complain about it later and eventually lose the job.
I have simulated emergency on simulators (no blood, no graphics, but just simulate) and I must say, you need a strong heart.
I am ready to replace those without strong hearts. But do keep in mind, I hate people who jump the tracks too, they spoil the image of train, SMRT and the TOs. And they truely prove that they are, the coward end of life. -
If they really care for others, they wont commit suicide in the first way.

Stupid and selfish way of ending life. Yet I cannot say so much bcos who knows? There might very be one day we don't think so much before we take the plunge.

Personally I dont think the operators of the train would be traumatised..my guess is they wil be angry that they have to do extra work as in paperwork or speaking to police etc. Maybe they would have to go home late that night or maybe miss a cigarette break.Originally posted by Meat Pao:The suicide people hor.....should be more considerate loh....

If people jump when a train is reaching the station, why bother pressing E-Brake anyway? Just continue on or accelerate, because the person eventually dies.Originally posted by jetabt767400:Hey guys!

Yup friend, you got it correct, ps. not continue accelerate, because you have to stop eventually (unless in CM mode) and then let the passengers get off.Originally posted by Oceane:If people jump when a train is reaching the station, why bother pressing E-Brake anyway? Just continue on or accelerate, because the person eventually dies.
If in CM mode I would slowly put brakes to level 4 and let the train stop quickly, but not enough to jerk passengers off, and then up to level 1 and then stop completely. -
They want to go on to their next phase of rebirth. It is what they want. They will thank the MRT TO for it.
Look at a better perspective. They find that this life is boring, not fun, stressful whatever. They wish to be in another phase of life, like going to the Blissed Land for happiness. Being here, as a human they suffer through untold pain. So they wish to be released from this untold pain and move on. All those "cowardly ending your life", dying etc is insulting. And they have the right to choose where they leave their bodies, like they can choose to do it in front of an approaching train. -
wont jump la, jus roll n roll n roll n roll.........Originally posted by SBS9889U:7th month zui hao dont jump, especially at night Later commuters freak out

I thought I read somewhere that most, if not all, religions believe that u go to hell if u commit suicide...Originally posted by fark_off:They want to go on to their next phase of rebirth. It is what they want. They will thank the MRT TO for it.
Makes me kinda wonder what suicidals look forward to in their next life... -
rotan and handcruffs for the dead but fear and shivers for the affected...

it's funny how people suggest to slow down the trains as it enters the station.
each carriage alone is 30-tonnes. you slow down also you'll still have no time to e-brake to avoid the jumper what. he think the train brakes like a bicycle or what.
certainly, these jumpers planned their death pretty well.
