CNA's headline chose to highlight the train service disruption rather than a man has died. Strange country we live in.

Normal service has resumed for southbound trains travelling from Sembawang to Yio Chu Kang MRT stations.

The service was disrupted earlier on Tuesday morning after a man was hit by a train at Yishun station.

He was later pronounced dead. - CNA/ch

I think they are being careful with the coverage here. They don't want people to get anymore ideas about commiting suicide.

stomp coverage

read what Brenda, a student says.

"Student Brenda, 18, was on her way to work, and in her MMS to STOMP, she said, "the MRT was supposed to bring convenience to people," but not in this case, as she told STOMP she, along with hordes of other commuters, ended up being late for work as a result."

what kind of students are we producing? yeargh. i was appalled by her comments and the comments of some stompers. the guy might have been drunk and fallen in accidentally, or could have committed suicide, or could have dropped in because someone pushed him - but does it matter? what matters is he died and no concern was given to his memory or family. disgusting.
