With the two SMRT employees who lost their lives in the line of duty laid to rest side by side yesterday at Choa Chu Kang Muslim cemetery, the tide of anguish against the public transport operators are rising.
This is especially so after a press release yesterday evening, where SMRT admitted that there were safety lapses that occured and lead to the deaths of 26-year-old Nasrulhudin Najumudin and 24-year-old Muhammad Asyraf Ahmad Buhari on Tuesday. The two trainees were hit and killed by an oncoming train on the tracks near Pasir Ris MRT station when during an investigation into a triggered monitoring device.
