For one person to just die by jumping off the platform isn’t this something we should think about? How could this man jump off the platform?
There are many possibilities for ones to just jump off the platform and die off just like that. Within years there are many cases of people jumping off the platform. It has resulted in many disruptions to the commuters. However, we had no clue so as to why this people jump. They could have borrowed money from the loan sharks or committing suicide due to side backs or depression or gaming or gambling. There was once a youth jump off from a HDB Flat. The reason they found was due to gaming. This boy was too engrossed with his game. He thought that he was in the game ended up jumping off from a certain level of the HDB flat with his friends. Their parents were very upsets as they can never get their child back. I feel that youngster died just like that was a pity. As they have many other things awaiting for them to do in the near future.
However, for this man to jump off the platform could have many possibilities. It may due to gambling, borrowing money from loan sharks or even due to fact that he might had suffered from depression. However, I understand that the government had built the Integrated Resorts as their main aim is to attract tourism. I am sure that every Singaporean who wants to enter the IR they need to make a payment of 100 dollars while it is free to foreigners. Why does the government come out with such a policy to their own citizens? I think that the reason is very simple as the government wants their Citizens to think twice before proceeding. To pay the 100 dollars they could have use it on other purposes. The Government rather not makes their business and allow them to think. The Government also allow their family members to black list their own members whom they do not want them to enter. Family Members have the right to ban their own members.
Jumping off the platform has created huge disruptions to the commuters. Therefore to prevent their commuters to jump off from the platform, they decided to pump in money to build barriers. This has been seen in many stations. They had place signs on the platform itself to remind the commuters to think twice before doing anything silly.
In my opinion I think that the government had done their best to make the citizens to be more aware of what they are doing and about to do. I think that more could be done. The government could paste up more poster and coming out with more educational videos to be played on the train to keep reminding them. Currently, on televisions programme we did see very meaningful advertisement being shown. They can even film as a show to show it to their citizens as through televisions programme we will be able to transmit the messages very effectively. The SMRT could hire more of the workers to standby on track despite for them to just on standby during the peak hours.
After so much, I think that is good everyone plays a part by realizing the importance of their love ones and consider what will happen to them after saying farewell to the world I am sure they will be the ones suffering. Let’s all make this a better place for our country our world and live life to the fullest!
