Service on North East Line resumes, Singapore News
The North East Line (NEL) resumed full service at 2.10pm on Tuesday (Aug 12) and trains are progressively returning to schedule, said SBS Transit on X at 2.19pm. There are still no Sengkang-Punggol LRT services due to the power fault and free regular bus rides as well as bridging bus services are still available at designated bus stops, the transport operator added. This comes after train service on the NEL between Farrer Park and Punggol Coast MRT stations was disrupted due to a power fault on Tuesday morning (Aug 12). This was announced by transport operator SBS Transit on its social media platforms then. There are free bus and bridging services available between Punggol Coast and Dhoby Ghaut stations as well as affected Sengkang-Punggol LRT stations during this period, said SBS Transit then. When AsiaOne visited Boon Keng MRT station at around 11.45am, commuters were seen milling around the station, with some looking disgruntled and others looking confused. There were also some travellers who were seen asking station security about the reason for the disruption. In an update on X at 1.05pm, SBS Transit said that services along NEL were available between Harbourfront and Buangkok stations. There were still no train services between Punggol Coast and Buangkok stations, it added. "We are working hard to recover service which may likely take two to three hours to restore. Please consider alternative routes," said the transport operator. This is a developing story. [[nid:720994]]

SINGAPORE: Train services on the North East Line were disrupted between Farrer Park and Punggol Coast MRT stations on 12 August due to a power fault, according to operator SBS Transit. The disruption, announced at 11.17am, affected 11 stations. Free bus services and bridging buses were deployed between Punggol Coast and Dhoby Ghaut stations. SBS Transit also confirmed that Sengkang and Punggol LRT services were unavailable. Apologising for the incident, it assured efforts were underway to restore normal service. Social media posts showed large crowds at platforms and concourses, with some reports of a power outage at Sengkang MRT station. A Reddit user claimed Serangoon MRT experienced a power trip. One commuter reported hearing a loud crack before a train stalled, followed by a smoky smell. Some online comments criticised recurring rail disruptions and speculated about fare hikes. On 10 February 2025, commuters on NEL also faced a two-hour disruption due to a signalling fault at Buangkok station, causing extended travel times and crowded stations.

Taiwanese influencer finds mushrooms growing in air bridge at Changi Airport
IG screengrab/thisiskenyoung SINGAPORE: Ken Young（楊超然), a social media influencer and the host of a popular podcast in Taiwan, recently highlighted something he found growing out of a passenger boarding bridge in Singapore's Changi Airport. 'You know it's humid in Singapore when you see mushrooms growing on air bridge,' he wrote in a video he posted on Instagram on Sunday (Aug 10). While he doesn't appear on camera, his voice can be heard as he laughs at the mushrooms, which his wife Ivy, a former flight attendant, is pointing to. IG screengrab/ @thisiskenyoung 'First time seeing it on the plane bridge,' he wrote in the caption in Mandarin. Mr Young tagged Changi Airport's IG account as well. The post has since gotten more than 3,400 likes, and many commenters were as amused as the post author. 'The world's first… Just having a different experience…' quipped one. 'Singapore is a garden city! True to the name,' joked another. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Ken Young (@thisiskenyoung) And like Mr Young, a number of IG users tagged Changi Airport in the comments. ' @changiairport please do something about this!!' one pleaded. At least one commenter took a more serious tone, however, writing, 'Going to Singapore during the rainy season, that humidity makes people feel drowned on land.' When the video was shared on Reddit, commenters were not surprised, with some pointing out how quickly these mushrooms grow in damp environments. One noted that they 'will pop out overnight. One night your air conditioner is leaking and BOOM the next day your wooden door has mushrooms.' 'Yeah. These mushrooms tend to appear almost spontaneously, so it's not that easy to avoid their emergence, especially in a humid country,' another agreed. Some noted that with how well the Changi Airport Group guards the airport's stellar reputation, they think they've seen the video already, and the mushrooms have been disposed of. 'I wouldn't be surprised if they're no longer there as I write this,' one wrote. 'I experienced this at my workplace. These mushrooms tend to appear almost spontaneously and randomly overnight, so it is just sheer bad luck that they grew here,' chimed in a Reddit user.

Spill some water on a corner of the carpet and you can see a mushroom sprout overnight,' another wrote. Others poked fun at the whole situation, joking that the mushrooms would make a good pre-flight snack and that the 'short form of Singapore is Spore,' after all. /TISG Read also: Customer shocked to open a can of mouldy mushroom soup she bought from the store — Classic editor () => { const trigger = if ('IntersectionObserver' in window && trigger) { const observer = new IntersectionObserver((entries, observer) => { => { if ( { lazyLoader(); // You should define lazyLoader() elsewhere or inline here // Run once } }); }, { rootMargin: '800px', threshold: 0.1 }); } else { // Fallback setTimeout(lazyLoader, 3000); } });
