The incident, which has left many commuters shaken, has raised concerns over the safety and security of the MRT system, which is one of the most reliable and efficient in the world.
According to eyewitnesses, the backpack, which was left unattended on the train, suddenly emitted thick black smoke, causing panic among passengers.
