Train operator SMRT has said it will be stepping up pest control measures, after a video circulating online showed a rat scurrying through a train cabin on the East-West Line. In response to CNA queries on Monday (May 25), SMRT Trains president Lam Sheau Kai said the company is aware of the sighting. He said that rats may occasionally enter trains through platforms, track areas or gaps between train cars, adding that trains are thoroughly cleaned daily when they return to depots. SMRT also reminded commuters not to eat or drink on trains and at stations as food remnants may attract rats and other pests. #singapore #sgnews Subscribe to our channel here: https://cna.asia/youtubesub Visit our website: https://cna.asia Download our app: https://cna.asia/app Get our editors' picks of stories via chat apps: Telegram: https://cna.asia/telegram WhatsApp: https://cna.asia/whatsapp Follow us on these platforms: https://www.facebook.com/channelnewsasia https://www.instagram.com/channelnewsasia https://www.tiktok.com/@channelnewsasia

Singaporeans finally experiencing what is like to ride a NYC metro🚇😂
Little guy was getting home from a hard days work - he got 300 kids to support.

SMRT must strictly enforce the “no eating and drinking” policy. This is so shameful.
It’s because of increasing amount of people eating in the train 😢
Poor Remy, got separated from his family..
Said hello to my little friend ratatouille 🐁 😂😂
Did the rat tap its card before entry? If it did, you cannot chase it away like tis.
This is what happen when ppl eating and drinking in the train
Omg if I'm in the train, I'm going to faint.
The reason no food allowed 😂😂😂
He forgets YEAR OF RAT already passed long ago
This isnt the first rat viral video on mrt. Why they didn't address the problem? Didn't know that rats pee or dropping or sweat ca spread diseases?
Finally we reach NY standard, world class liao 👏👏👏
That company has too many irresponsible staff.
From 1st world to third?
I can see there a bag of food on the floor... Courageous rat! 😂
Now Singapore is getting dirtier and dirtier
I also see rat around the hdb estate at night and they are the even bigger ones... How did blud even end up in there? Most likely someone brought it in with their food or something.
Bro wants a ride on the MRT
