Security Screening At Selected MRT Stations From Nov 12

LTA is starting a 6-month security screening trial at selected MRT stations from next Monday (Nov 12). Commuters will have to walk through a metal detector and put their belongings through an X-ray scanner. At any one time, up to 6 MRT stations will be involved in the exercise. The stations will be selected at random and will not be disclosed beforehand due to security reasons. Mr Ngien Hoon Ping, chairman of the Public Transport Security Committee said, “We must remain vigilant against individuals who may be carrying dangerous items that can cause harm to the public.”
