SMRT provided suggestions on alternative routes.
“For instance, commuters travelling from Tuas are encouraged to alight at Jurong East station and take the North-South line towards the city. Commuters who are returning home from the city can also consider taking the Circle Line, Thomson-East Coast Line, or the Downtown Line,” it said in a Facebook post.
The transport operator also said that the safety of its staff members was of “top most priority”.
“In view of the wet weather conditions near Clementi station, we are taking every measure to ensure the safety of our engineers when going on-site to assess and rectify the fault.”
Mr Seah and Mr Ngien added: “We fully understand the inconvenience, frustration, and delays this disruption has caused, and we deeply regret the impact it has had on your journey.
“We are working relentlessly to restore service quickly.
“Once again, we extend our sincerest apologies for the disruption and deeply appreciate your patience, understanding, and continued trust in SMRT.”
