Default MRT: ONE MORE TIME! (17 Dec, someone tio whack by falling ceiling)



http://singaporeseen.stomp.com.sg/st.../sengkang.html

Several STOMPers have sent in pictures of what appears to be an injured man lying on the ground at Sengkang MRT station.

Says STOMPer Tessa:

"I saw this photo on the internet.

"Something fell off at Sengkang station and hit someone whom I believe got injured."

STOMPer Stefanie added:

"Incident at Sengkang MRT station.

"Pictures from Twitter."

STOMPer junkboyz commented:

"Ceiling fall."

STOMPer Adam also said:

"I saw this incident at Sengkang MRT while on the way home.

"By that time, I didn't get to see the injured man, and security officers were there controlling the situation.

"Moments later, the facility people came and removed the object from the ceiling."

I think some safety procedure is being overlook both by the victim and the MRT officer. There should be safety harness to belt up and hook to some form of secure structure, if there isn't any, a platform must be raised.
The jinx continues in MRT.....................
