More like a waterfall..
The water leakage incident at Chinatown MRT station left passengers drenched as they navigated through a cascade of water. One eyewitness, netizen yydscocoliu, captured the chaotic scene on video and shared it on TikTok, showcasing the extent of the flooding in the station on an unspecified date.
In one of the videos, the water poured down onto the escalators and stairs, rendering one escalator inoperable. The situation worsened as the water pooled in the tunnel leading to the station exit, with warning signs hastily placed to alert commuters of the slippery conditions.
Despite the deluge, passengers were seen cautiously making their way through the waterlogged area, with some resorting to creative measures for protection. A man braved the downpour, walking down the escalator completely drenched but seemingly unruffled. Meanwhile, another individual shielded her head with a towel as she traversed the waterlogged path towards the exit.
The user commented on the probable cause, attributing the flooding to the heavy rainfall that inundated Singapore on 29th December. Netizens on TikTok joined in the discussion, with one humorously noting that Changi Jewel’s iconic waterfall had seemingly found a new location in an MRT station.
Expressing concern for the safety of elderly passengers navigating the flooded station, a commenter highlighted the potential risks of slipping and falling in such conditions. The incident prompted netizens to await an official statement from SBS Transit regarding the unfortunate event at the Chinatown MRT station.
