Being stuck in back-to-back train disruptions on Aug 17 and 18 prompted him to call The New Paper hotline.

Mr Patrick Loh, who works as a lab technician at a school in the Boon Lay area, was first stranded at Jurong East Station. He was travelling home from work and it took him two hours.

Just a few hours later, the loyal TNP reader of 29 years was horrified when the scene repeated itself.

"I was travelling to work from Khatib Station, and when I reached the station, it was jam-packed," he said. "I was feeling quite angry and frustrated as I was late by 30 minutes."

In another incident, Mr Stallone Goh, 46, was in his company's lorry when he saw an overturned car on the road and another one on a grass patch nearbyat Grange Road last Thursday.

The report was published last Friday.

Another reader notified TNP about a group of lower secondary students hanging out on a 16th-storey ledge at Riversound Residence in Sengkang last Monday.

He sent the video to TNP, hoping it would educate the general public to not endanger themselves like this.

Each hotline caller will receive a $100 Peranakan high-tea set voucher for two at The Peranakan Singapore. We value your tip-offs and feedback, so keep them coming. Call us at 1800-733-4455, SMS or MMS 9477-8899, or e-mail tnp@sph.com.sg
