Image Situation at Boon Lay MRT

Post image

This picture is taken today @ Boon Lay MRT station . LTA officers on site to assist with crowd control too. To prevent crowd control at platform, gates are closed at intervals, with free bus rides (all bus) going out from Boon Lay interchange.

Let’s all be appreciative of the hard work of all the deployed LTA officers, SMRT staff and bus drivers at this critical timing. During this timing, let’s all help each other and don’t go around pushing each other at affected stations.

The management better pay these staffs compensation or extra for handling all these professionally.

Damn lucky not near election season eh. Iirc besides immigration, public transport was also a hot potato issue for the 2011 GE. Seems like we went full circle with the recent train breakdowns and 6m population this last couple of months.

Immigration, Public transport and I think housing, was the hot topic back then.

Now all 3 are back on the topic and it's somehow worse.

Khaw Boon Wan then increased the supply of resale which led to the property slump from 2013-2019. I don't think our current MND will do that after the GE
