DO NOT UPLOAD TRAIN MEDIA W/O PRIOR PERMISSION

In all, unless there is really a need to film, do not film trains.

Being part of Friends of SMRT does not gives you any privelleage to record videos or taking photos along the SMRT network.

Just a simple note: Anyone who is part of FOS shall not use the name FOS to defend yourself against SMRT staffs (SM, CSO etc.) who asked you to stop recording or photo taking.

Well, That was kinda silly. I meant it was like an open concept thingy and anyone can easily access the train system to survey. It is not like not uploading pictures and video would do anything to prevent things that might happen...

I enquired the situation with the station manager at Clementi today and he actually said that he didn't think that it would be a big deal if I took video footage of a train or station and posted it on the internet. After all, it's not like terrorists can't just go on a train or station and observe it if they can't just get on YouTube and watch a video of it. It's just a pointless exercise to stop us from taking videos and personally I don't quite see how it will enhance security from terrorism.

But he did mention not to take things that we normally wouldn't see often, for example, a view inside the driver's cab.

Well done :)

So what exactly did u ask him? (Try to be as specific as possible)

Very good! Thanks for helping us to ask! The Station Master also did not go against taking videos and photos, a step ahead for everyone here!

Really?

Really?

Well, anything that is not included in the Rapid Transit Act shall not be treated as outright wrongful / illegal.

This is a subjective question. (If not then Rapid Transit Act fake one ar!?)

If really a bomb from the camera (from a suspicious person), the SMRT still don't care about it?

Thanks for asking!

mrtdude5 SG

If anyone else wants to enquire with other staff members, that would be great (you know, like to find out exactly how many of them don't want us to take video and stuff). I'm probably gonna ask Lakeside and Boon Lay tonight and show them one of my videos to show them what kind of videos I take.

Interception_7 SG

Who'd want to do that? :S

Just saying in general. Not pointing people out. Haha.

c751bLoVuR SG

Can you tell about me too?

You meant the manager only allowed us to taking video of the drivier's cab only??

mrtdude5 SG

No, I mean that the cab is one example of a place NOT to film because it's something that a potential terrorist can't see on a normal journey on the MRT, unlike things like the doors, the seats and the space under them, the trainset number, etc...

willis_chong SG

How did it go?

mrtdude5 SG

How did it go?

Boon Lay flatly rejected me before I could even show them. Lakeside... they told me all videos and photos should not take. I ask them why, they said terrorists, I explain, they just tell me sorry cannot. Commonplace Singapore service lah...

Maybe sending in a online suggestion form to SMRT might get a detailed explanation (or just a flat rejection...)?

c751bLoVuR SG

So the "Taking photo and video" when does resume?

mrtdude5 SG

They said they don't know. Typical S'pore. -_-
