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.
