Well, it's a little late blogging about this. But I just got back from xiaxue's site (which Tenny insisited I should check out via his MSN nick because she interviewed him regarding his toys...) and was a little pissed at her attitude towards the poor guy whom was picking up his shoe. Sure. It's easy to say now that the guy's dead what he should or should not have done. Anyway the papers today cleared it up la. He apparently slipped and fell. How again. We dunno. How did the camera not tape the entire progress? We dunno. But I suspect it's the same reason why I can speed past the speed cameras at 120km/h and not get caught. Yet.
I guess in the event that a guy actually falls onto the tracks, the onus of saving him not only lies on himself, but also on the bystanders I presume. Since he was unable to climb up the tracks, the amazing question now would be... why didn't anybody press the big shiny button to stop the train? With a platform full of commuters, I'm sure at least 30 saw him and around 10 were in proximity to the nice shiny buttons ya?
But then again. There's also a nice shiny red sign that says fine $5000.
I guess that explains alot.

nah! dont u think those who are near the red button will be too far away to see what's going on. i dont think they even know that someone went down the track to retrieve his shoes!!
and even if they pressed the red button, he will still get knocked in the end, though impact maybe lesser cos' the train still needs to take time to come to a complete stop.
so bottomline, dont ever go down the track if you dropped something. call the person in charge or whosoever!
and xiaxue is funnylah! go read her entry abt sucking brad pitt's dick! :P
tada! jiayou for your moots oh!! *oink*!
xiaxue is a silly little girl.
and i believe that mrt trains running over people who go down to the tracks to get their shoes is nature's way of asserting natural selection - survival of the fittest.
however, if he did, in fact, slip, then it's just suay lah.
