What happens when an animal strays onto MRT tracks? The question has surfaced
after a cat ended up in the underground North East Line (NEL) last
Friday morning.
Commuter Risa Mardjuki was one of many at Dhoby Ghaut who
witnessed an MRT station
cleaner pursuing a ginger and white cat with a stick and a garbage
bag.
After the animal fled to the end of the train platform, an SBS
Transit employee opened the emergency door at the end of the
platform – and the cat promptly leapt about 2 metres through a
small opening just after the door, landing on the tracks as a train
was approaching.
-oops-
Five days on, nobody knows where the cat is, but NEL operator
SBS Transit has conducted "several sweeps" of the tracks since the
incident and found "no evidence that the cat had been hit by our
trains", said vice-president of corporate communications Tammy
Tan.
TAMMY TAN again...
Tammy Tan is like a spokesperson. her role is that she
is the communicator of the company's view to
the outside world.
