  No wonder I heard an announcement about Outrum Park MRT and about transferring to NEL when I was going home at Tanah Merah.

  seems like the first time in don't know how many years. to fire a round in the army is already headache enough, its worst to fire in spf especially on duty in the public. the policeman who fired should have more than enough explaination for it. furthermore its in the mrt station where there are countless of security cams. 

  did the attacker die? or still unknown? luckily sgh is just nearby.

  The guy shot died...

  Wah, but this is close range man... Point blank...

  Guess when the guy attacked, he is standing next to you... And the guy attacks with melee, namely, a knife...

  How to not shoot?!

  The police respond very fast by tracking the man down to the MRT. Who shot the suspect? SOC or MRT police officer???

  anyway i dont see how anyone can criticise local security just because of this incident. we dont have people who run in schools and shoot people every few monthes. no terrorist who throw grenades into cars. no militants who launch rockets into our cities.

  Oh i just realised the article never state whether the guy is dead or what.
