Singapore train operator SMRT will be stepping up pest control measures at its stations and depots after a video circulating online showed a rat on one of its trains.
In the video posted on social media on Saturday, a rat is seen scurrying around the cabin of a train as two people attempt to corner it. People are also seen lifting their legs to avoid it as it scurries past them.
“SMRT is aware of a post online about a rat sighting on board one of our trains on the East-West Line,” said SMRT Trains president Lam Sheau Kai on Monday in response to CNA’s queries.
