SINGAPORE: A KTM train with 60 passengers on board derailed near the Bukit Timah KTM station at 8.15am on Tuesday.
No one was injured.
An eyewitness told Channel NewsAsia the Kuala Lumpur-bound train had left the station for about five minutes when the incident happened.
He said the train was travelling at about five to 10 kilometres per hour, and then stopped suddenly.
He then got out of the train and saw the train's engine in front tilting at about 40 degrees to the track.
The first two carriages were derailed but were still standing upright.
The eyewitness said the track was damaged and passengers had to get off the train and abort their trips.
Channel NewsAsia understands that three carriages have been hauled back to Tanjong Pagar KTM station.
The affected passengers were put on another train and also brought back to Tanjong Pagar station.

KTM train tracks are gross. Shit and urine comes out direct onto the tracks. You can say the tracks from singapore to thailand are all littered with human excretion hehe.
