'Emergency' at MRT station causes concerns about potential stampede, MRT says staff deployed to control crowd

Crowds at Serangoon MRT station after a commuter activated the emergency stop plunger at Bartley MRT station, which disrupted train services.A photo of a crowded platform at Serangoon MRT station was posted online on Thursday by a concerned commuter worried about a possible stampede.

"If any commuter wishes to alert our staff to an incident on the platform without stopping the train service, kindly approach our staff at the Passenger Service Centre located at the Concourse level of each station."Unfortunately, Wuyongzheng's sentiments didn't quite resonate with other Redditors, who described it simply as "a regular Thursday in Singapore".
