Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The safety of the Mass Rapid Transit system in Singapore was questioned by the public after several accidents on the system during the 1980s and 1990s. Most problems have been addressed, and many safety measures are visible to users of the system. 5 August 1993 (7:50am) - Two Kawasaki Heavy Industries C151 Trains collided with each other at Clementi Station, resulting in 132 injuries. The collision happened because a work train that did maintenance work earlier that morning had spilled some oil onto the tracks. One of the trains passing by that stretch of track that morning had been unable to brake in time because of the oil, resulting in a collision with a stationary train at the station which was waiting to move off upon the recharging of its brakes. 9 October 1997 (2:00am) - A maintenance train derailed in the tunnel near Toa Payoh Station. The derailment occurred because a staff member had failed to reset the track alignment properly. Disruption to train services between Bishan Station & Newton Station lasted about 8 hours.
