How to Catch Your Train Without Risking Your Life
Missing a train can be a real headache, especially when you’re rushing to get somewhere. But one man at Jurong East MRT station took things to a whole new level with a risky “life hack” that has everyone talking.
A Dangerous Move
In a recent video posted on Sgfollowsall, the man demonstrated how he managed to catch a train during peak hours. He started with the phrase, “How to catch the train in rush hour,” and proceeded to show how he placed his hands between the screen doors of the platform. After about 10 seconds, the doors opened, allowing him to dash onto the train.
But this stunt didn’t sit well with many netizens. Comments flooded in, calling him “socially irresponsible” and “selfish.” Some pointed out that he could have simply waited for the next train instead of risking his safety and the safety of others.
Consequences of Recklessness
The situation escalated when the police confirmed that a complaint had been filed against him. SMRT also weighed in, reminding passengers that they should never lean on or touch the screen doors. This is crucial to avoid accidents when the doors open and close.
Just last year, another incident at the same station saw a person trying to retrieve their phone from the tracks, leading to an emergency stop by an approaching train. Such reckless actions not only disrupt services but can also lead to serious injuries. A spokesperson warned that tampering with the tracks could result in harm to commuters, especially if emergency brakes are activated.
Promoting Safety Awareness
So, how do we tackle this kind of irresponsible behaviour? It starts with education. By informing ourselves and others about the importance of safety, we can create a more responsible commuting culture.
Additionally, we can encourage safe behaviour through incentives, like rewards for those who follow safety protocols. Let’s work together to ensure our MRT rides are safe for everyone.

Remember, your safety and the safety of others should always come first!
Embracing Unity in Our Community
In our diverse society, it’s essential to recognize the strength that comes from our shared experiences and values. By fostering an environment of understanding and collaboration, we can uplift one another and create a brighter future for everyone. Let’s take a moment to appreciate the unique contributions of each individual and work together towards common goals that benefit all.
This is a call to action for individuals to engage in community-building activities. Consider participating in local events, volunteering your time, or simply reaching out to a neighbor. Together, we can create a supportive network that enhances the well-being of our entire community.
