As expected, the 154th thinks that THOUSANDS being stranded in the tunnel is small matter and doesn't deserve more detailed reporting!


Power failure on NEL leaves thousands stranded
THOUSANDS of commuters were affected when North-East Line (NEL) train services between Sengkang and Punggol MRT stations were disrupted by a power supply problem last night.
The fault occurred at about 9pm, and shuttle buses were activated to ferry passengers between the stations.
'The line is still operating between HarbourFront and Buangkok stations. We apologise to all affected commuters for the inconvenience caused,' said SBS Transit spokesman Tammy Tan.
She estimated that 5,000 commuters were affected. GRACE CHUA

I would never consider living in god-forsaken places like Teban Gardens, Sengkang or Punggol unless I'm 80 and immobile.

Good for you!!!!!! Punggol has bad Fengshui aura hanging around for the next 20 years. Isnt it a wonder that no matter what our PM trying to masked & rename Punggol, its still dreary & residents cant wait to eject from there? Why do u think Punggol's HDB valuation remains quite high?

Guess who runs the MRT. I learn that one of them is a PR and Ho Jinx's crony. She used to be with DFS.
