SMRT staffer vapes outside Fajar LRT station, another allegedly leaves litter behind

They have been counselled.

An SMRT staff member was caught on camera vaping outside Fajar LRT station while another was alleged to have left litter behind.

Stomper Van shared a five-second video of a man in an SMRT uniform using an e-cigarette near the LRT station in Bukit Panjang on July 28 at 12.15pm.

The Stomper said the SMRT staff member was vaping at the sheltered walkway.

The use of e-vaporisers has been banned in Singapore since Feb 1, 2018. Those caught purchasing, using or having in their possession such products in Singapore are liable to a fine of up to $2,000.

The Stomper also shared photos of another SMRT staffer whom the Stomper alleged left a cigarette butt and a used disposable cup on the ground.

"The dustbin is nearby, but he still littered," claimed the Stomper.

In response to a Stomp query, Bukit Panjang LRT (BPLRT) head Chan Wye Keong said: "We do not condone such behaviour.

"We have counselled the staff immediately. Investigation is ongoing.

"We will follow up with necessary actions.”
