Man fined for leaving luggage at Hougang MRT station

He left a piece of blue luggage unattended at Hougang MRT station on April 2, sparking a security alert and the station's subsequent closure for close to 90 minutes.

More than 3,500 commuters were affected and nearly 700 had to be evacuated.

For causing annoyance to the public, Chinese national Wang Jianpo, 39, was fined the maximum $1,000 yesterday after pleading guilty.

On the afternoon of April 2, Wang collected the luggage from a friend just before going to Hougang MRT station.

He planned to go to Chinatown to run some errands but decided, for convenience, to leave the bag at the station.

Deputy Public Prosecutor Daphne Lim said a couple spotted the luggage at around 2.25pm and alerted the staff.

This guy created such a big chaosand only fined max $1,000.

To me, I was caught in the jammed and wasted more than 1 hour to get to my destination.

Seriously the punishment should be harsher.
