Yesterday was the first day of the $3.4 million suit brought by the father of Thai student Nitcharee Peneakchanasak, 16, who fell onto an MRT track and lost both her legs last year.

A woman here claimed that while she was using her iPad on an MRT train, two men made off with her iPhone, which was in her unzipped bag.

The police confirmed that a report regarding the case has been made.

She has been dubbed “the most polite ah lian”, generating a large amount of buzz both online and offline.

Young people hail her as a hero, while aunties speak of her in hushed tones. On her Facebook wall, various users have posted their support for her.

Popular blogger Mr Brown went on a frantic search for about one and half hours yesterday after learning that his autistic daughter had broken away from her mother and run off while at the busy Dhoby Ghaut MRT station during the evening rush hour.
