  A 14-YEAR-OLD Thai girl was taken to Tan Tock Seng Hospital with bodily injuries after being hit by a train at the Ang Mo Kio MRT station on Sunday morning.

  Ms Felicia Chen said on Twitter that she 'saw the accident victim under the train before the MRT officers ushered us down from the platform.

  'Her lower limbs were broken, can see the knee bone jutting out, head bleeding'.

  The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) received a call at 11.11am informing it that a girl had fallen onto the tracks. The SCDF said her lower limbs were severely injured but she was conscious the whole time.

  Commuters said they experienced delays of between five to 10 minutes on the North-South Line. But train service was not disrupted, said an SMRT spokesman.

  The SMRT is assisting the police with its investigation.

  I think this Thai girl stand too near to the incoming train that why the accident happen. I have seen this many time. During rush hour, a man cut the queue in front of me instead of queuing up by the side and not only that he also stand over the yellow line!

  Should an accident happen to him. I will not feel sorry / sad for him cause he is courting for trouble.

  SMRT just sucks. they put the platform barrier at places that isn't crowded first. their system is flawed. just like in tampines station, it is damn crowded. and the platform barrier isn't up yet. whereas in pasir ris, it is not that crowded and the platform barrier is already working. like WTF?

  Maybe AMK MRT will get priorities to install barricades. Anyway, the station's full of people, high time they give priority to this high utilisation station.

  The installing of the platform door is simply too slow.....I think the smrt need to wait for a few dead before they speed up their project.

  I reckon no matter how unwell one can feel, the brain is still functioning enough to tell you not to stand DIRECTLY behind the yellow line.

  Maybe you can tell me when people tend to faint while waiting for the train BEHIND the yellow line, they tend to fall towards the tracks?

  why does it take so long for them to fix the doors at all stations?

  1 contractor doing all the stations?
