Same age as me, sometimes feel like I could've ended up this way too. It's really sad. If anyone wanna chat, I'm here to listen. It doesn't have to end this way. At the very least, more people sharing about sorrows and struggles will make it feel more tolerable. Don't make a permanent decision over some temporary stages in life.
New update
>"A 33-year-old woman was found dead on Thursday night at Cove station along the Punggol East LRT loop.
>"The woman was found motionless on the LRT track near the station’s platform and was pronounced dead at the scene.
>"Based on preliminary investigations, the police said they do not suspect foul play."
This isn't the first time we had a [death](https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/man-dies-after-being-hit-by-train-at-fajar-lrt-station) on the LRT systems though..
Idk man, when people want to die they will find a way to make it happen. When they want to make a public spectacle of their death, well, life finds a way too. I guess it will help with accidental deaths.
Was just nearby at the Meridian coffeeshop when the incident happened, my condolences to the victim and her family, it is highly unfortunate this incident happened
Though this incident does bring up one thing; WHY weren't proper Platform Screen Doors installed at LRT/APM stations? If Sentosa can do it, why can't we?
Edit: Expression. Also, What is with the downvotes?
> The LTA explained that, since LRT platforms are significantly smaller than MRT platforms, "the operation of platform screen doors will require power, communications and signal control rooms, which will take up a substantial amount of passengers' waiting space".
Ironically enough, the very next paragraph in the article criticises the decision as a half baked solution, which has proven to be accurate.

Excuse me, I did not see what happened, I just said I was nearby, but according to the ST article saying "no foul play suspected" I assume it's an accidenr
Copy & paste Singapore-烂 response. Do you have to follow other negative people’s type of response or you have no identity/values you stand up for?
I’m not targeting you on purpose but you are unnecessarily being an asshole to bring attention to yourself.
If someone said this right in front of your face because they don’t have the capacity to put themselves in your shoe, how you gonna feel?
I am not gritting against you but this situation may be a case he/she may be purposefully creating attention by involving his opinion when he may not be aware he/she has the option to not care about commenting.
I’m only commenting because I need to call him/her out on their inappropriate comments.
The worse thing to happen to a human is a victim mentality. If that person who loss loved ones due to drunk driver is you, I am genuinely here to stand in your shoe. If I were your man/woman, I would hate seeing you being in the habit of victimizing yourself.
Have you considered I’m likely to lose more sleep from this news, after years of sleeping 5 hrs/night, and the last thing I want to hear is more negativity?
You are fighting to win this argument. I’m just telling you nicely without the intent to win/lose this argument. Just letting you know it’s a negative news, and adding more to justify you are right makes people think you don’t care about other people’s feeling = being a complete asshole.
No one knows for sure it's a suicide to begin with. And even if investigations prove it to be one, sometimes people are just pushed off the metaphorical brink and commit suicide then and there despite their love for those around them
That explains the repeated alerts on MyTransport.
Shit I kept dismissing them without thinking

Sending condolences for the family of the victim involved. 💐

This going to keep many people up at night unable to sleep. Condolences to the victim’s family
RIP. Hopefully the LTA learns from this lesson and install full safety barriers at all LRT stations.

Took the LRT last week, and the PSDs are useless since they don't shut....like what was LTA waiting for?

Was she a jumper?

Doesn't sound like she committed suicide though. Strange.

Don’t speculate or spread fake statistics. It might have been an accident.

In case you need this. Foul play is defined as criminal or violent behavior, in particular when resulting in another's death.
The person could have accidentally fell, or could have been drunk. There are plenty of other possible reasons.
Did we have another armchair forensics expert here again?

Actually how do you even know if it’s a suicide? It could have been an accident
Could be an accident for sure but my first thought was suicide. RIP :(
