He saw a body being lifted from the tracks by paramedics, and heard the station's 'train delay' announcement being made.

STOMPers Stefanie and Kelvin both sent in photos of the incident.

STOMPerKelvindescribes the scene:

"I stay at the block of flats directly opposite from Sembawang MRT Station.

"A man jumped down onto the Sembawang MRT Station tracks in the middle of night, triggering a delay of 55mins.

"I spotted paramedics retrieving a body from the train tracks, which was then covered with a white cloth. The train had stopped partway across the station.

"I then heard the station announce a train delay.

"This happened at about 11.30pm to around midnight last night (Apr 15)."

They should legalize euthanasia in Singapore

If a Sinkie's life is worthless, he has the right to end it

i dun know what you all think? put it this way, a lot of sporeans seem to be cooped up in their own dimension of thinking. if you notice those workers in their forties, their face like a bit stone stone, numb and dun seem happy at all.

Singapore Airlines, great way to fly.

Singapore MRT, great way to die!

 

[drifter]

there are many ways to die ...why chose to jump onto train track and cause inconvenience to other passager . even want to die also must be considerate ...no wonder his life is fucked .

theres so many people wanted to live ...why give up life so easy ?

It's not sad at all it's a joy when this bugger dies.

 

[lianbeng]

lianbeng asks, "how many more bodies to be recovered from tracks before they finally put up those doors?"

 

[Loofydralb]

The idiot did it at 11.30 at night.

He could have done it at 7am on a weekday.

When someone is desperate and wants to die, consideration for his family and others will be far from this mind - he will not even imagine the mangled bloody mess of his body parts strewn on the railway track that his relatives have to identify.

In the picture, why did the MRT authorities not evacuate the curious crowd from the station?

Because at that time 2330hrs there is only 1 staff on duty the rest already go home. What to do SMRT cut down manpower at nite only 1 security guard :( Base on the law of physics a body can only be 1 place at any 1 time I guess that chap on duty was too busy to get those paxs out of the station or the paxs are too dumb to know that the train won't move off with a human body under it till the body is removed Or better still they are trying to find out the train number and the time it happened so as they can buy the coming 4D.

i think those ppl are very selfish ..they can chose to drink acid , over dose on drugs , cut wrist , hanging , jump into the sea ....ect . but yet they chose to cause inconvenience to other ppl . even when they die they give ppl problem .

Sad that it has to end this way. However, he was not inconsiderate to jump at 11.30pm.

:(

I agree with you.

For worthless piece of shit like you, who lack the courage to commit suicide, that is most suitable.
