This is a huge MRT station and usually there are at least two people in the station (excluding staffs from the shops). There is always one to two train masters and one security officer. As the two lifts are away from the main station, it is hard for the security officer to guard both exits.

We noticed that many people prefer to use the lift especially young ladies and teenagers because they are lazy to use the stairs. Take the elevator or stairs so it is an open area, you can yell or shout if any incidents or run if you can. There are usually more people on the elevator area.

If you spotted incidents like this, try to do something to help out. Shout at the robber or call for help from the security officer. If you can fight like Donnie Yen, you can fight him off but if you ‘think’ you can fight like Donnie Yen, just shout or ask for help. Try not to engage with robber as you do not know whether he carries a weapon.

We hope the police will catch the suspect and speedy recovery for the victim.
