A scoop on delays and a breakdown of underground train services landed Singapore radio personality Hossan Leong in trouble. He had reported the disruption to Circle Line services, based on Twitter comments, before an official statement was released by Singapore Mass Rapid Transit.
Hossan later commented on Twitter that he was now “getting into trouble” for reporting the incident on-air. He could only “talk about it if (an) official SMRT statement is given”. It is not clear whether the warning came from MediaCorp, which owns the station, or SMRT. Circle Line services were disrupted for three hours.
