SINGAPORE - Service on the East-West MRT Line was disrupted on Thursday evening (Feb 25) after a person who entered the tracks between Lavender and Kallang stations was killed.
Operator SMRT tweeted at 9.48pm that the service disruption between Bugis and Aljunied was due to a train incident .
The Straits Times understands a person had intruded into the eastbound tracks from a portal area - a tunnel opening - emerging from Lavender.
It is unclear how the person which the police later said was a 31-year-old man had accessed the tracks. ST understands high fences are in place to prevent unauthorised access, but there are parts which can be scaled.
