Yio Chu Kang, Singapore, August 31 (Inapplicable News Agency) -- Anti-riot police was almost called in when crowds of AJC students invaded the lobby of the Yio Chu Kang MRT station. As the rain falls outside the station incessantly, the number of AJC students 'camping' at the lobby increases because the trains keep coming in. To prevent the the students from blocking the way of fellow communters, the station master sounded a never heard before announcement which read: "Your attention please, the station is crowded, if you're not taking the train, please leave the station. Thank you." The familiar female voice was heard not once, not twice, but five times before the crowd start dispersing.

Anti-riot police almost called in
According to the Singapore law, any assembly of more than 4 or 5 people is considered as illegal gathering. When questioned by the our reporter, the station master said:" Wah lao eh, these students ar, dunno why so scared of rain one, keep staying here and block other passengers, I was going to call the riot police before than finally disperse!" Which of course reminded us of last year's incident whereby riot police was called in to 'break up' a four persons protest outside the CPF building.

Before any cries of NPNT (No Picture No Talk), we would like to assure the readers that our reporter did managed to capture the crowd on camera. Please note that the reporter did not stay with the crowd for long as he proceed to the school right after taking the picture, braving strong winds and heavy rain.
