25 affected and eight died in the SGH hepatitis scandal-no names mentioned, nobody was sacked or charged in court.

Now this-time for locals to use the B Batok by elections to show their disapproval of the lack of transparency/accountability and the increasing inefficiencies of the many public services.

The two SMRT staff who were killed in the accident were part of a technical team that went

down to the track to investigate a reported alarm from a condition monitoring device for

signalling equipment, SMRT said in a statement.

Permission to access the track was authorised. Initial findings indicate that before the

accident happened, the team was moving in a single file on the walkway beside the track, on

the way to the location of the signalling equipment.

"We are assisting the Police in their investigations into how the accident happened," SMRT added.

The two victims were both Singaporeans: Nasrulhudin Bin Najumudin, 26 and Muhammad

Asyraf Bin Ahmad Buhari, 24. Both joined the company in January this year and were

undergoing on-the-job training at the time of the accident.

2 SMRT staff killed in accident were Singaporeans
aged 24 and 26 and undergoing on-the-job training



SINGAPORE - Two SMRT maintenance staff were killed in an accident along the train track near Pasir Ris MRT station on Tuesday (March 22) morning, with train services on the East-West Line between Tanah Merah and Pasir Ris stations suspended for more than two hours.

They were believed to have been hit by an oncoming train.

Mr Patrick Nathan, SMRT's vice-president for corporate information and communications, said that the accident occurred at around 11.10am near a servicing point.

Singaporeans Nasrulhudin Najumudin, 26 and Muhammad Asyraf Ahmad Buhari, 24, had been undergoing on-the-job training at the time of the accident, Mr Nathan said in a later statement.

The duo, who joined SMRT in January this year, were part of a technical team that went down to the track to investigate a reported alarm from a condition monitoring device for signalling equipment.

"Permission to access the track was authorised," Mr Nathan added. "Initial findings indicate that before the accident happened, the team was moving in a single file on the walkway beside the track, on the way to the location of the signalling equipment.

We convey our deepest condolences to their families and are in touch with them to render support and assistance at this very difficult time.

"We are working with the police to conduct a detailed investigation into this accident. SMRT is reviewing all safety procedures in particular those that involve track access. "

In response to queries, a SCDF spokesman said it was alerted to the incident at 11.11am and dispatched a fire engine, two fire bikes, a red rhino, two ambulances and three support vehicles.

Both men were pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics, the spokesman added.

Access to the station was blocked for more than two hours before it was reopened at close to 2pm, with SMRT staff stationed at the entrances to inform commuters to take the bus instead.

A long queue was also spotted at the nearby taxi stand.

Mr Beez, a 51-year-old guitar technician, said: "It impacts everybody - not just the incident today, but any incident or accident. Nobody wants things like that to happen. But if it's indeed a safety issue, SMRT should address it."

At Tanah Merah MRT station, SMRT staff and police officers were seen managing crowds and giving advice to commuters affected by the service suspension.

They also handed out tickets for a complimentary train ride.

The rail operator first tweeted about the track incident at 11.20am.

It said service was expected to resume at 12.15pm, which was subsequently revised to 12.30pm, then 12.45pm and later 1.15pm.

Train service only resumed at close to 2pm, although SMRT warned commuters to expect an additional 10 minutes of travelling time.

Private tutor Kay Tan, who was walking past Pasir Ris station on the way home, said she saw close to 20 SCDF and police officers, as well as SMRT staff, gathered on the tracks near a train, which had stopped just outside the station.

"I'm not sure if it was the head or tail-end of the train, but they appeared to be trying to extricate something from underneath it," said the 25-year-old.

Freelance videographer Jeremy Ho, 26, told The Straits Times he was on the way up the escalator to the train platform at Pasir Ris station at around 11.40am when he heard an announcement being broadcast.

"It said that train service had stopped and asked passengers to leave the station. No reason was given," Mr Ho added.

SMRT said in a tweet at 11.30am that regular bus services between the two stations have been made free.

Free shuttle bus services were also available to ferry affected passengers.

It just showed how smart all those old-birds hiding in SMRT are.

On pretext of OJT, these 2 young, new-birds were sent on highly life-threatening tasks. And were sent to their deaths!

So where along the line, someone dropped the ball in ensuring on-coming trains are warned of track inspection, or even halted.

And in broad daylight with a train driver right in front. With so clear a view, why doesn't the driver applied emergency brake when train is still slowly pulling out if station? Brakes failed too or driver sleeping? More likely emergency brakes failed as train just pulled out of station.

Let's wait and see how the saga unfold. Worst case, some junior supvisors will be 'severely warned'.

Life goes on in SMRT thereafter with their CEO collecting millions without even moving their fingers in this case.

police's cardinal role is to investigate if foul play was involved. nothing difficult. in this particular case, MOM will also be investigating on safety aspects and related matters. police will be in court for CI.
