With or without barriers, there are still a lot of ways of
committing suicide.
Jumping down, cutting themselves, breaking rules, you name it, they
know it, they do it.
Nothing will stop them.
It's all about your personal responsibility.
Now, on to the accidents.
Please be reminded that Singapore is a tropical country, we have
our fair share of wet weathers during certain times of the year.
Although there are shelters, they are only effective without the
winds blowing.
With the winds blowing, the rain may splash in.
On rainy days, it's expected that people will bring umbrellas in.
This will again wet the floors. Those who aren't careful can slip
and fall into the tracks. While rare, I have seen it ALMOST
happened with my own eyes. Thankfully, the person did not fall into
the tracks and the train was due to arrive 5 minutes later.
Barriers can effectively prevent that, but when costs rise, who are
we going to blame?
We want better protection, yet no payment. The world doesn't go
spinning this way.
