last SG · 2009-12-14T14:34:23+00:00

Great, they're making the PRCs feel welcome.

TWE SG

If you want to hear the don't rush when train door are closing or i think more precise is please keep clear of train doors . You have to tio kiap 2 times then can hear that . Course first time maybe the passenger skin too thick never feel so must kiap 2nd time confirm passenger feel pain then will remind one lol .

mrblue SG

Lol, ya. But I agree with Tamago also. Although the multi-language announcements can be annoying, old ppl who are mostly illiterate will benefit a hell lot. PRCs will also feel more welcome.

Fryderyk HPH SG

Whoa then like that must put Bengali, Urdu, Hindi and Tamil for Little India Station liao

FireIce SG

no need mah
they can catch the word "INDIA"
though some of them may be wanting to alight at farrer park though

i was thinking this oso kinda benefits the aunties unlces ah peks ah mas
which lead me to think again, why not in teochew, hokkien, cantonese, hakka......

if ur language does not get announced at each station, can we say it's discrimination?

I would prefer it to have it in 4 languages, or just English only. 4 languages isn't that long, but for Singapore announcements, they tend to like to drag it with unnecessary pauses. Eg. Next station *pause* Outram Park Interchange *pause longer* Passengers who are continuing their journey *short pause* on the North East Line *pause* please alight *short pause* at the next *short pause* station.

Italics = drag words

BiminiRosy SG

Italics = drag words

This do only on STARIS only.

NickL_C151 SG

This do only on STARIS only.

I mean this. Lemme give you an example.

*bell is eliminated* 750m before station

Next station, Eunos.
Xia yi zhan, You Nuo Shi.
Stesen berikutnya, Eunos.
(Tamil equivalent)

Above announcement only made once.
STARIS can scroll the messages in 4 languages throughout the journey.
All current station announcements are eliminated.
All serurity announcements are eliminated.

why NEL no have the stylo-mylo LED board thingy which shows the next station blinking and where the door open? (door open i tink no need since the doors all open on the same side but i still see some gong kias waiting at the wrong side)

the station names on the board can be in 4 languages and commuters can check it if they are not sure or cant hear or missed or dreaming in the train

Stesen berikutnya, Eunos.

Don't tell me this means Malay.

Samuel Lee SG

Neither Circle Line has. Downtown Line seemed to have. Not sure for that.

willis_chong SG

Don't tell me this means Malay.

It is malay. :D

NickL_C151 SG

Don't tell me this means Malay.

Cannot ah?

BiminiRosy SG

They used this malay name are the same. (Eunos is Malay name)
Stations no malay name.

NickL_C151 SG

They used this malay name are the same. (Eunos is Malay name)
Stations no malay name.

I think you're trying to say that Malay names are not given to stations. Yes, because most of the stations are either of Malay origin, impossible to convert (how do you convert Choa Chu Kang into Malay?) or when converted, does not bring any knowledge of the place (Tempat Raffles, Taman Cina, Hutan, Marin, just to name a few).

Samuel Lee SG

Let me guess,

Tempat Raffles --- Raffles Place?

Tamaan Cina --- Outram Park?

Hutan -- Chinese Garden?

Marin -- Marina Bay?

I am just guessing by the name similar to certain chinese or english word. No offense intended. Please show the correct answer. Thanks!

3 of them are wrong, what you say just now means:

Taman Cina means Chinatown.
Hutan means forest.
Marin means (???)

Samuel Lee SG

I have thought of Chinatown but, there is a name called Kreta Ayer.

If Hutan means forest, then we got chances is in remote places / town. (But Tanah Merah looks Malay to me, so it cant be)

Tempat Raffles = Raffles Place (Raffles got no Malay name I think)

Taman Cina = Chinese Garden

Hutan = Woodlands
