They want to increase GST AND erect barriers at stations...
like that how can ppl have an outlet if they reach a dead end?Review of safety at MRT stations
EXTRA safety measures may be fitted at MRT stations by the Land Transport Authority (LTA) to boost commuter safety, said Minister for Transport Raymond Lim.
They could include glass panel barriers at stations with open platforms, a suggestion made by Madam Cynthia Phua (Aljunied GRC).
She had argued that such a measure, already in place in Hong Kong, will prevent fatal accidents and suicides at such above-ground stations.
Mr Lim said the LTA will assess the effectiveness of such panels and other available options before making a decision.
However, Singapore needs to strike a balance between fitting such costly safety measures and imposing extra financial costs on public transport operators.
Urging commuters to take heed of the safety instructions and announcements at the stations, Mr Lim said: 'Shared responsibility is what is needed to minimise the occurrence of such unfortunate incidents.' -
die also so difficult..cannot jump MRT...scally next time HDB flats also build glass panels to prevent us from jumping...

Hey ppl i still recommend train jumping because you don have to pay GST.
whether you buy explosive or merely a bottle of poison, the store charges you gst.
also, whether you jump into the sea or from HDB flat, they cane your dead butt still.
so to prevent going to hell or heaven and other good buddies ask you why your butt is bleeding and you have to shame yourself and tell them you got caned butt naked right at the spot you die.
At least train jump, you are in pieces, they can't find your butt to cane. -
You can protest against the raise of GST by wearing Brown on Sunday:

Note: If you can complain about the GST rise but is a NATO person, please don't bother to visit that thread.
NATO : No Action, Type OnlyOriginally posted by anonymouscoward:
Why Brown? Because Mr. Brown was the first to put forth his article about the rising cost of living in Singapore but he was silenced, harshly and senselessly.
30 or so people gather at City Hall to show their support for Mr Brown and we should continue to support Mr. Brown's idea that 'enough is really enough'; The rising cost is unbearable for the average Singaporean.
Hence, brown. It is not a usual color and thus it sends a clear and distinct message.
Brown, because the current government way of squeezing its people feels like sh.it. -
no because, you suside at MRT track, you will cause delay and appear on newspaper, while which jumping off HDB building wont make you appear on newspaper. so i was wondering, standing in the middle of a busy highway, and if lucky, a car hit you, it will cause a heavy jam and might appear on newspaper.Originally posted by weeie:i have no idea why you think that's the only way to die. the one who proposed putting barriers on mrt platforms must be someone like you.... lol -

What tokking she?
People committed suicide is because of social problems!!!
NOT because there is no glass panel!
Why is she not addressing how to reduce and prevent suicidal cases?
PSLE also can understand that! -
