High Court rules in favour of SMRT, LTA in Thai teenager's lawsuit

[Leongsam]

3. The fact that after the incident barriers were installed in above ground MRT stations does not speak well for SMRT and LTA.

I have never heard of barriers at train stations in my life. Very few stations in very few countries have them. Waiting for a train is no different from waiting for a bus. You don't put barriers at every bus stop so why would they be needed at train stations.

Underground MRT stations have barriers. Crowd control is very basic and even in stations without barriers could be done with MRT personnel at the platform during peak hours. Was there such personnel on the platform at the time of the incident? Closed circuit TV monitoring of station platforms is even more basic and is often an aid to train drivers in determining when to shut the train and barrier doors. You mean Sinkie train drivers have bionic eyes?

I think you've made your point but that rascal isnt around to see these posts of yours. I just saw him swinging through some trees after he had foraged some food.

The analogy is false. There is no crowd! And when there is one, I am pretty sure that the railway company will deploy crowd control personnel (who do not hide in ambulances) to ensure that things are under control.

Took the London underground for 2 whole years of my life during the peak hours. Never saw any crowd control personnel.

London underground at peak hours....

Excuse me sir, but this is not a crowded station, so no need at that time to deploy crowd control measures. I am sure you will be able to upload pictures of unruly situations in Third World countries like India or China, but the standard of care expected in SG are much higher since their MiniStars are paid OUT OF THIS WORLD salaries!

Paris Metro... peak period...

So have I. Never saw any fake Ah Neh or Ah Tiong "talents" either. The ones they let in are all high quality ones. The low quality ones sneak in illegally and do not want to attract attention to themselves by say pushing and shoving on crowded platforms!
