I always see the big posters in every MRT stations saying that there are 40 over cameras monitoring every corners. However, as far as i know there are no recording function, imagine how much data the 40 over cameras can generate, it will be very costly to record and archieve these video (another excuse to increase fare?).
Therefore, the video captured by the 40 over cameras are for display in the control room only, however if u have noticed, there are only 1 or 2 staff at the control room (esp for NEL) and they will be too busy serving customer or do other work, then to stare at the screen displaying 40 over videos.

from what i read in the last accident at bishan
actually will be enough if can store the last 15 minutes or so, so that if anything happens, still can playback to see
I will say the 40 over "monitoring" cameras in every stations are almost useless, even if 1 delicated staff are there to look at the video at all time, it is quite hard for him to look at 40 over different video at one shot, and probably too late if something really happened

I don't think so. i don't want to get too gruesome but... firstly the train is slowing down, no garentee it is instant death after being run over and if u get pinned instead, u could die slowly from trauma or shock...
but this thread isn't to discuss how to die painlessly, so i shant OT anymore.
Anyway, cctvs only tells u what happened. Prevention of suiciders start from family & friends, love & care. Dun demand resposibility from the Gov for this sort of thing.

install doors means u need air con, means we have to pay even higher fares, and MRT service will probably need to disrupt for weeks for this upgrade, not really feasible IMO.
May be it will be easier to install some form of barrier, at least if someone wanted to jump, he still have to climb over the barrier and other passenger may be able to stop him.

totally agree... very very very good safe and practical... BUT !! its sooo damn expensive.. and it means tat the installation of several airconditioning units.. which will definately be a wonderful and perfect excuse for increasing the fare....
Spokesman " Due to recent upgradings works such as installation of Automatic doors and Air-conditioning units and the improvement of CCTVs, i would like to announce the increase of fares, from the basic fare, a increment of $0.40 will be applicable too all concessionary and adult fares"
Spokesman 2 "With increased of items for maintenance, SMRT will be asking all workers to accept to a pay cut to accomodate more workers to maintain more technicians and equipment maintainence"
Press 1 " Erm sir, we are from XOXO Times, we would like to ask if the sudden increase of fares going to reduce the number of passengers taking the SMRT ?"
Spokesman " No. Definately no, SMRT transports 2.1Million citizens from work and school daily, and these people simply cannot live without SMRT, therefore the increase of fares will only allow SMRT to maintain its equipment and staffs and to recruit more technicians. Increment in fares also ensures that SMRT has more funds to work with future projects such as new and more improved trains and stations and of course, more Company Dinner and Dances"
Spokesman 2 " Increment in fares also meant bigger and better year end bonus and higher salary...thank you Singapore"
hehehehehehehehheehe
