The person was NOT hit by a train, but rather, the train stopped in time.

+1.systematically speaking,the more of this kinda stuff,the more SMRT has to pay,and the more they can go off.(pay for refunds)
heard it on laylio too.. some guy i tink.. hit by train. train managed to stop in time to not cause a disater. the fella survived
he wanted to commit suicide, but fate had other ideas, made the train stop on time and not let him uplorry. My office is in between Queenstown and Outram leh. Lucky not during the lunch hour or else gg.com.sg
Walao. Got trend liao, it might have ripple effect, more people might jump down the tracks....
Zzzz... Please dun start this trend again..... =X
People who don't end up dying should be made to pay for the disruption they have caused.
This type of people who commited suicide at tracks and attempting to commit suicide there are very self fish people. This should be act of terrorism and even those who suceed in dying like this should be comdemned even after death with the name of a terrorist. only caus einconvenient to commuters.
Why don't these people put bombs on themself and than jump on the mrt track and press the tigger button and bomb themself with the train
Remember the case where the family got a few hundred thousands dollars from well wishers coz their sole breadwinner jumped?
Probably trying to emulate that again.

Only more reason for them to try again.
Damn... tree fallen at Jalan Bukit Merah Road, disrupting bus service in the morning and then mrt again...
Oh no. How many incidents must there be. There's a third one today. Bukit Panjang LRT service disruption. A two-car train had one of it's doors on the right side open while moving. Train halted in between CCK and South View. Mechanics seen running on the track towards the train. Only took note of the car behind (Car 103). Happened at 6:25 pm.
