Some of you might have seen the news that a huge fire broke out at the construction site of Tanjong Pagar Centre last Thursday, and we’d like to share a behind-the-scenes story about the heroic acts of our staff:
When Tanjong Pagar’s Station Manager (SM) Rahmat Bin Aman and Assistant Station Manager (ASM) Amutha D/O Subramaniam heard that there was a huge fire close to an exit, they instinctively grabbed fire extinguishers and ran towards it.
7 commuters were affected and the top priority for our staff was to get them to safety immediately. Being familiar with the station, SM Rahmat hurriedly led the way while ASM Amutha ensured that no one was left behind. ASM Amutha placed the commuters’ safety above her own even though she was asthmatic and had inhaled quite a bit of smoke.
Fortunately, everyone, including the staff were safe. Great work from our staff at Tanjong Pagar station!
