This photo actually showed a Keretapi Tanah Melayu (KTM) train derails along a track. Believe it or not, this is actually a news coming from SINGAPORE!!! It happened on last Tuesday morning at about 8.15am. "Local reports say only the first three carriages derailed, with the first more badly damaged than the other two." and thankfully, "no casualties have been reported." Affected passengers are already ferried back to Tanjong Pagar. At that time of time, there were only "60 passengers" on board and the cause of the accident wasn't reported. Compensation of the train tickets were also made to the affected passengers

My personal response:
To start off first, here are a couple of questions that i have thought about. Was it still safe for singaporeans to take KTM trains? And should these trains be taken away to make way for infrastructure?  What are some precautions KTM should take in order to prevent such mishap from happening?

Let's see. These trains definitely have a long history and were probably serving their functions seven before i was borne. And to be frank, they have actually served generations of Singaporeans. Despite the scarce land that Singapore is faced with for years, i feel that we should never abolish such a tradition. To be fair, there are no longer that many passengers nowadays taking the KTM trains but still,  till today, the train is still serving the purpose of ferrying citizens and tourists to and from Singapore and Malaysia. Though the derailed train might have led to a drop in consumer's confidence, KTM should take precautions of conducting regular checks of the railways, the train engines itself and definitely, the weather condition. Take for example, the heavy rainpour might caused the nearby landill to slip and lead to accidents. It is always good to be safe than to be sorry. :)

With this, i end my post!
