The madam/sir,

The recent spate of deaths at MRT rail tracks has raised the awareness in the lack of safety precautions. The LTA and PTC has failed to foresee the flaws in the design on allowing tracks to be opened in full public view, despite the closeness to high voltage amenities. The authorities concern must insist the open concept to be redesigned for safety, before a toddler run astray or some pranks causes some to fall in or attempted suicides or even pre-meditated homicide should take place. This would also prevent rain to splash onto platforms and provide shelter to commuters. I believe safety must not be compromised at any cost.

This is their reply, as usual.
