MRT track accident again!!!

»

Tamago said

A track accident occurred at 6.48am at Yishun MRT and service was disrupted until 8.15am between Sembawang and Yio Chu Kang.

SMRT personnel were quick to resume service within an hour and a half by first moving the body and keeping it below the platform gap while they put powder to prevent it from decaying as train services continued. The body was eventually removed at 9.47am and promptly sent to the mortuary via a police van.

I suspect increasing MRT suicides may be partly diversionary - ie people would've killed themselves in some other way, but because of publicity/popularity they kill themselves in this way.

Then you might wish to ask why. Why do they want to publicise their suicides?
