SHOCKING: Woman’s buttocks burnt by concentrated sulfuric acid on SMRT train and requires skin grafting! « THE TEMASEK TIMES


SG no so safe anymore

Taking MRT trains is becoming a daily hazard for Singaporeans of late. Not only must one face the inconveniences caused by the frequent train delays, breakdowns and ‘ponding’ from leaking air-con, one may also be burnt by unknown fluids left on MRT seats as one unfortunate woman discovered.

According to media reports, the woman boarded a SMRT train at Raffles Place on her way home and sat on an empty seat which appeared to be wet.

Thinking that the transparent fluid is water, the woman sat on it only to discovered a stinging sensation to her buttocks. The pain got worse and worse and she eventually alighted at Dhoby Ghaut MRT station to check into a lady’s toilet.

To her shock, she discovered her buttocks was ‘burnt’. On admission to the hospital, she was told she required skin grafting due to the extensive damage. The transparent fluid is likely to be highly concentrated sulfuric acid.

When contacted by the media, a SMRT spokesperson said a police report has been lodged over the incident.

Yes it is in the Straits Times. I think same picture shown.

It was reported that she saw a pool of water and yet she sat on it. Now "pee koo kai hwa".

Re: Acid attack on MRT?

if u see a pool of water (even if its a puddle), and you still sit down without wiping it off, then I question yr intelligence

Wait, wouldn't the pool of acid melt or causes some reaction with the plastic seats first???

Never pat dry because too kiasu to get to the seat. 'Choop' seat first using butt. Now butt pays. Hypothetical scenario.

If acid isn't very concentrated, it wouldn't melt plastic as fast as it melts skin.

Put it another way, which is a tougher material, skin or plastic?

CSI observation. Please thank me.
