Publication of Full Report of 22 March Fatal Train Incident

Mr Muhamad Faisal Bin Abdul Manap asked the Minister for Transport (a) whether LTA will make public the full report of the Accident Review Panel which investigated the fatal accident that occurred on 22 March 2016 near Pasir Ris MRT station; and (b) whether the Panel had concluded that the train driver was at fault and, if so, how was he at fault.

Mr Khaw Boon Wan: The Accident Review Panel was convened by SMRT and it is their prerogative to decide whether to make the full report public. Findings from the investigations by the Land Transport Authority and the Ministry of Manpower will be made public after all investigations, including a possible Coroner's Inquiry, have been completed. This is so as not to prejudice any of the proceedings.
