Danger! Watch out for these exposed screws at Marina Bay bus stop

Flip flop wearers beware -- these uncovered screws at a bus stop at Marina Bay could give you a nasty wound, as Sharon discovered. She says the screw was sharp enough to penetrate her slipper and injure her foot.

Sharon had this warning for pedestrians there:

"While walking to the bus-stop at Marina Bay this afternoon I got badly hurt by an uncovered screw.

"It went right through my slipper and into the my bottom of my foot.

"The wound was bleeding profusely and I had to rush to the nearest clinic to have a tetanus injection with a bandage. At this stage the doctor has yet to detect if the wound was infected as the screw might have been rusty.

"I have written to the LTA demanding compensation, as it was so painful.

"I strongly feel this is a safety hazard.

"Please keep a lookout for these harmful screws if you happen to pass by this bus stop."

@bluehawk168, everybody know this is singapore, when it comes to collecting money, like a vacumn cleaner, but as for compensating? Like snail. What a huge difference, i've given too much time allowance, they r simply exceeding my patience limit.

@blur_van i didn't said that people walk with their heads down, i just meant to say that it's quite visible. and who would walk into a path being blocked by some boards in front?
i never walk to the bus stop before, but if the stomper is the only one who was injured wasn't she the only "blind cat"?

these kind of screws are quite common, i have seen quite a number of them before, but didn't know why you stepped on them. They are quite visible in my point of view. And your picture don't look like its bleeding profusely.
