You know what really caused the congestion not reported in the
papers?
The damned stupid security guards.
One of them was carrying a loud speaker, an Indian man.
The underground City Link Mall has four entrances. Suntec,
Raffles MRT, Esplanade and at the middle an entrance/exit in the
building next to Marina Square.
With the IT show on, and the rain, of course you will find lots
of people underground. There were no problems until some idiot
security guards decided that there were too many people and CAUSED
THE CONGESTION.
So what should they have done? The should have stopped people
going into the underground from the exits and letting people out
only or at least let people in by batches.
What did the idiot security guards do instead? The put up
barriers, baracades right in the middel of the underground link and
tried to force people to go out through the exit at the building
next to marina square in the middle.
WTF!!! People are coming in relentlessly from the various
entrances and all of them were forced to go out through one small
exit and they can't go over to the other side because of the
barracade.
