"Police received a call at 8am that a man had fallen onto the track, near the 5th exit from the rear, according to a Straits Times online report."

i felt that north east line has the best train among the mrt lines.
because the door will only open when the train stops.
even the gap between the floor and the train door is smaller compared to the older ones.
you hardly hear any news about people dying NE line.
this happened on 07042008 in the morning.
the deceased was a Chinese man in his mid 40s.
he was pronounced dead at 8.30am.


"Train services were disrupted for close to an hour, between Yew Tee and Bt Gombak stations, towards Jurong East.


the bus were packed with "trainers".
interesting scene uh?
if it's so damn crowded, i would choose to either take a bus or cab rather than squeezing.
