Woman hit by train at Woodlands MRT Station (2 Mar 07)

We refer to the articles "Woman hit by train at Woodlands Station, service disrupted" (Mediacorp Radio 938 live, 2 Mar 07) and "Leaked CCTV Clips: Police probe over, SMRT to do review" (Straits Times, 3 Mar 07). From the Straits Times article, it appears that SMRT's main concern is with security breach as a result of the leaked videos and does not even address the issue of the clear need to improve safety that many have brought up.

From the Mediacorp Radio 938 live article, we now know that yet another incident of a commuter being hit by a train has occurred, just only 2 days ago! We are reiterating our question to SMRT: What is being done to improve the safety of commuters in stations without full platform doors?

Instead of addressing the issue of full platform doors, why not address the issue of why so many people wants to end their life?

"She has been sent to National University Hospital after complaining of pain in her right thigh."

This may not have been a case of suicide, although it does sound pretty bizarre.

B.Panjang and circle path train resident, don;t be too happy about the train reaching your house. Take a look at the botanic park, and the landed property at Timah, the surrounding do not have substaintial crowd. Why don;t they change the line from panjang to dover? Old turf will build flats?

The fare will add on to the Panjang residents and all the train lines passengers.......
