===2011 Accident===
===2003 accident===
Nitcharee Peneakchansak, a 14 year old Thai teenager, was seriously injured and lost both her legs after she fell onto the track and was hit by a train at Ang Mo Kio on 3 April 2011.<ref>[//www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/singaporelocalnews/view/1120393/1/.html "Teen falls onto MRT track, hit by train"].

The victim's father, rejected the compensation as her prosthetic legs will cost around S$100,000 and must be changed every three to five years.<ref>[//www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/singaporelocalnews/view/1134867/1/.html "Girl who lost legs in MRT accident returns to Thailand"]. Channel News Asia. Retrieved 13 June 2011.</ref>
Ms Neo Shiea Chee, a 25-year-old teacher at Holy Innocents' High School, was run over by a southbound train at Ang Mo Kio MRT station shortly before 7pm on 11 January 2003 when she fell into the tracks and was crushed by an oncoming train. She was too engrossed in reading her book and was unaware that the train was already approaching the station. Trains were not disrupted as Ang Mo Kio station's northbound trains used the middle platform.


Her father decided to sue SMRT for S$3.4 million on 17 June 2011, the amount equivalent to the price for the 20 pairs of prosthetic legs that Peneakchansak will need in her lifetime.<ref>[//news.asiaone.com/News/AsiaOne%2BNews/Singapore/Story/A1Story20110618-284734.html "Thai teen's $3.4m suit to reveal what happened on MRT tracks"].

===2011 accident===
Nitcharee Peneakchansak, a 14-year-old Thai, was seriously injured and lost both her legs after she fell onto the track and was hit by a train at Ang Mo Kio on 3 April 2011.<ref>[//web.archive.org/web/20120114181612/www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/singaporelocalnews/view/1120393/1/.html "Teen falls onto MRT track, hit by train"].

AsiaOne (18 June 2011). Archived on 28 May 2012.</ref>


On 20 June 2011, SMRT clarified that the money offered to Peneakchansak was a gesture of goodwill and not compensation. The transport company said compensation would only be made after investigations had concluded. SMRT also said that the S$10,000 offered to her family to travel to Singapore when she was still in hospital was also a gesture of goodwill.<ref>[//www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/singaporelocalnews/view/1136199/1/.html "S$5,000 offered to Thai amputee not compensation: SMRT"]. Channel News Asia. Retrieved 20 June 2011.</ref> In its defence papers on 1 September 2011, the SMRT reiterates that all the safety warnings and precautions – such as the yellow lines – were in place and that the distance which the train travelled after the driver slammed on the brakes were within "safety specifications" and argues that Peneakchansak's "negligence" contributed to her falling "onto the tracks at the MRT station on her own accord". It also claimed that the girl was "aware of the danger of the oncoming trains and that by standing behind the yellow safety line until the train had stopped", she would have been reasonably safe from falling onto the tracks and pointed out that the girl had failed to keep a proper lookout for the oncoming train and take reasonable care of her own well-being despite knowing the risks of falling. It adds that she had failed to stand behind the yellow safety line until the train had stopped despite clear warning signs displayed at the MRT station.<ref>[//www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/singaporelocalnews/view/1150395/1/.html "SMRT files defence against lawsuit by family of Thai girl who lost legs"].

===2018 smoke===
On 5 February 2018, smoke was seen rising from an escalator heading towards the linkway to AMK Hub at around 1.20pm. While train service was not affected, the escalators were temporarily shut down due to safety checks, and the linkway was temporarily closed until 6.10pm. Preliminary investigations showed that the smoke came from overheated motor bearings in one of the faulty escalators. One SMRT staff was hospitalised for inhaling too much smoke.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20180209094822/www.straitstimes.com/singapore/smoke-seen-emitting-from-escalator-at-ang-mo-kio-mrt-station-train-service-still-available "Smoke in Ang Mo Kio MRT station could be from faulty escalator's overheated motor bearings: SMRT"].

Ang Mo Kio (NS16/CR11) is a Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) station on the North–South Line and the future Cross Island Line[1].

History[edit]

Date Event
7 November 1987 Station officially opened
20 May 2019 Station (towards Jurong East) closed due to the construction of Canberra station[2]

2003 accident[edit]

Ms Neo Shiea Chee, a 25-year-old teacher at Holy Innocents' High School, was run over by a southbound train at Ang Mo Kio MRT station shortly before 7pm on 11 January 2003 when she fell into the tracks and was crushed by an oncoming train. She was too engrossed in reading her book and was unaware that the train was already approaching the station. Trains were not disrupted as Ang Mo Kio station's northbound trains used the middle platform.

2011 accident[edit]

Nitcharee Peneakchansak, a 14-year-old Thai, was seriously injured and lost both her legs after she fell onto the track and was hit by a train at Ang Mo Kio on 3 April 2011.[3] Peneakchansak left Singapore on 13 June that year after recuperating in hospital. SMRT had reportedly offered the family $5,000 as compensation. The victim's father, rejected the compensation as her prosthetic legs will cost around $100,000 and must be changed every three to five years.[4] Her father decided to sue SMRT for S$3.4 million, the amount equivalent to the price for the 20 pairs of prosthetic legs that Peneakchansak will need in her lifetime.[5]

2018 smoke[edit]

On 5 February 2018, smoke was seen rising from an escalator heading towards the linkway to AMK Hub at around 1.20pm. While train service was not affected, the escalators were temporarily shut down due to safety checks, and the linkway was temporarily closed until 6.10pm. Preliminary investigations showed that the smoke came from overheated motor bearings in one of the faulty escalators. One SMRT staff was hospitalised for inhaling too much smoke.[6]
