Debated in Parliament on 11 May 2015.
Mr Zaqy Mohamad asked the Minister for Transport (a) whether the person involved in the track intrusion at the North-South Line near Chua Chu Kang MRT that disrupted services on 27 February 2015 has been identified and arrested; and (b) what measures have been taken to prevent such future track intrusions.
The suspected male intruder was charged in Court on 28 April 2015.
To further reduce the likelihood of intrusions onto at-grade tracks, SMRT has strengthened the perimeter fencing between Choa Chu Kang and Bukit Gombak. In addition, SMRT has enhanced their inspections of all at-grade tracks.
The Public Transport Security Committee, which comprises Government agencies and the operators, is also implementing a number of additional measures, including installing crash-rated bollards and strengthening structures against forced entry.
