I found the MRT stations especially the old ones are very small, if you have been to HK, Taipei, Shanghai and Seoul, you will understand what I mean….in the big metro station like Ximending 西门町 in Taipei, there are 15-18 exits while in Spore the max 5-6 exits. In HK, it took me more than 30 mins to exit from a MTR station, it is huge and a lot of walk.

NAH~!
It is the design flaw, when they designed the MRT stations in the 80s they were probably based on the population size of 2-3 million, now our population has already exceeded 5.85 million, eventually reaches 10 million, must knock down all the stations and redesign & rebuild larger stations to accommodate the large population size if that is what is going to happen.
** Starting from Seletar area, thru AMK/Lor Chuan, TPY East, Balestier-Kim Keat/Whampoa, Farrer Park/Little India to Somerset Stn.
From there down thru Killiney Rd to River Valley/Great World and turning into Ganges Ave, along Alexandra Rd and ending at Labrador Park (that is why an overhead pedestrain bridge is used to connect "PSA" building to the MRT stn instead of an underground walkway) .

Here are the maps of some of Shanghai’s main MRT stations, you see how many exits they have, a lot, unlike in Spore, even big stations like Orchard doesn’t have so many exits.

Those top brass don't take public transport. They don't even meet the public. MP and ministers still have to meet the public, carry babies and shake hand with everyone once every 5 years.
