I purposely bought the new paper today for this news & took out some points from the article..

Affected train was heading southbound
From the pic in TNP, the affected train was a C651
SMRT said that affected train was carrying about 200 passengers
Smoke was detected coming from a/c unit at rear of train about 1325hrs
Preliminary investigations showed a leak of a/c refrigerant gas which appeared as "smoke" & was non toxic
SMRT staff were attending to passengers within 2 mins of affected train's arrival at the SB platform
SMRT said its staff were alerted when they saw smoke on their CCTV screens & TO had also sounded the alarm.
