1a) What was the reason for building the platform doors at the MRT stations?

The reason was to prevent passengers from falling from the platforms and being hit by the incoming MRT trains. This type of incidents have gone up quite a lot over the years. An average of 16 cases per year in 2004,2005 to 31 in 2007. Last year, there were 23 cases of commuters walking on the tracks. Six of them was due to accidental loss of balance.
b) Which other countries already have such doors installed at train stations?

Paris and Taipei.

2) What is your opinion of commuters on trains who disregard the rules (no eating/drinking, give up seats for the elderly/ the disabled/ pregnant women etc.) on the train?
I think that very embarrassing of the commuters act. I think they should follow the rule as they have given it. If the person who spill their food or drink in the train, they would bring a lot of inconvience to the other passengers. i think that they should give up their seats for the elderly as they needed more. If in the future you are old, you also will hope other passengers to give up sit to you. Pregnant womans too, as they could not stand too long. If everyone follows the rule, there will not be any problem for other passengers in the MRT.

1)What are some measures by the government to curb smoking?

Some of the measures are to increase the fines for underage smoking , giving ban on the certain sales of tobacco and also barring some places from selling them , lower the rate of permitted nicotine and tar allowed in the cigarettes.The maximum level of tar and nicotine yield limits allowed in cigarettes will be lowered to protect those exposed to cigarette emissions.Fines imposed on such smokers thereafter will go up from $300 to $500.

2)How successful do you think these measures would be?Support your answer with reasons.

I don't think it will this measure will be very effective because firstly, alot of smokers do not have the determination to quit smoking. The rise in price in ciggarettes will somehow not affect smokers because for smokers cigarettes is the thing they need everyday. But i think the fines to underaged smokers will work because underaged smokers do not have a large sum of money to pay their fines. However, I think that the measures to prevent smokers in Singapore will help to lessen down smokers in Singapore eventually
