SMRT accident: Witnesses living near train station recount heart-stopping moments before tragedy

Wednesday, Mar 23, 2016

Residents living near Pasir Ris MRT station described what they saw and heard just moments before two SMRT employees were hit and killed by an oncoming train yesterday (Mar 22).

Several Stomper contributers had sent in photos of the incident, which took place at around 11.10am yesterday. The scene was also reported live.

Singaporeans Nasrulhudin Najumudin, 26, and Muhammad Asyraf Ahmad Buhari, 24, were apparently undergoing on-the-job training when the fatal accident happened.

They were part of a technical team - which also consisted of 13 others - that went down to the track to investigate a reported alarm from a condition monitoring device for signalling equipment.

Two witnesses recounted the tragedy to The New Paper.

Mrs Tandra Haldei, who lives opposite Pasir Ris MRT station at Block 528B, Pasir Ris Street 51, first spotted the group of SMRT workers walking on the tracks at about 11am yesterday.

SINGAPORE - There was a lapse in procedure before an MRT train hit and killed two trainee employees, according to a timeline of events provided by operator SMRT today (March 23).


Mr Nasrulhudin Najumudin, 26, and Mr Muhammad Asyraf Ahmad Buhari, 24, were part of a 15-member maintenance crew sent to investigate an alarm that had gone off at a servicing point on the tracks near Pasir Ris MRT station at around 11.10am yesterday (March 22).

They were authorised to do so, in a practice - of sending a team to the tracks to investigate faults when trains services are running - that SMRT said yesterday was normal.

SMRT said in a statement today that an average of two to three such authorisations are given each day.

Before they are allowed to step back onto the tracks, the team is supposed to coordinate with the signal unit to ensure that oncoming trains stop and do not enter the affected sector.

"Our records do not show that this procedure took place," SMRT said.

SINGAPORE - Safety procedures for track access have been strengthened following a fatal accident which took the lives of two SMRT staff on March 22, the transport company said today (Mar 30).

SMRT said in a statement that procedures for authorisation of track access have been strengthened in the areas specified by the Land Transport Authority and the Ministry of Manpower on the same day.

The authorities' interim safety instructions require that SMRT ensure the following:

a) No trains should run in automatic mode for sections of the track where personnel are required on the adjacent track walkway. Trains on such sections of the track should be operated manually, and at low speeds;

b) The section of the track where all works are taking place including maintenance or repair, should be isolated, so as to provide a safe zone before any personnel is allowed to proceed to the area;

c) There should be robust authentication procedures between the personnel deployed on the tracks and the operations control centre to verify the track isolation;

d) Measures for isolation must be continuously in place until staff have left the work area and trackside; and

e) Watchmen should be deployed to alert personnel on the tracks of oncoming trains from both directions of the track.

SINGAPORE - Investigations into a recent MRT track accident which killed two SMRT maintenance crew will establish whether there was a lack of safety procedures or if staff did not follow them, said Transport Minister Khaw Boon Wan on Tuesday (April 12).

Should the investigations reveal human errors, those responsible will be held to account, Mr Khaw said in Parliament during the debate on his ministry's budget.

Speaking on the fatal accident which occurred some three weeks ago, Mr Khaw said he has also directed the Land Transport Authority (LTA) to work with operator SMRT to thoroughly review its safety-related procedures.
