Another man fell on to the MRT track.
Train services disrupted after injured man found on MRT track, reported by CNA.
Has anyone keep track of all the numbers of incidents where ppl fell into the track, be it by accident or suicide?
Has anyone keep track of the numbers of commuters that has been affected by the disruption of train services? The economic loss suffered by those disrupted?
Its been sometime since i kept quiet about all those incidents. Since the incident at Clementi MRT station, the public has been asking the goverment, or SMRT / SBS Transit to put up barriers (like the underground stations) to prevent those incidents from happening again.
That time, if i never recall wrongly, the reply was that it is not justified to put up the barriers. But since that reply, i have seen more ppl falling into the MRT track, causing loss of lives, disruption of train services, inconviences etc, and what does SMRT / SBS Transit do?
They just apologise for the inconviences caused. But did they make an effort to prevent the same incidents from happening in the future, besides more vocal warning over the PA system, which i suspect, to commuters, is more irriational than informative.
Something must be done, otherwise, you will keep seeing ppl falling into the tracks, dying and disruption.

Barriers will prevent people from jumping onto the tracks; but unfortunately barriers will not prevent people from commiting suicide. They will just simply find another means of doing so. The solution is being proactive and reaching out to these troubled people before it is too late.
