This video features a KSF C151C, 713/714, which is from UPD to serve NSL for the whole day. This was the scene at NS24 Dhoby Ghaut Southbound, towards (5) Marina South Pier.

This was the train that triggered the whole Platform Screen Door Fault at Dhoby Ghaut Southbound Shenanigans. I wish this was a April Fools prank, but it is not.

So basically, I alighted from 037/038 after I finished filming and was planning to head back to City Hall to intercept with another KSFB on EWL. But end up, the PSD doors were having troubles closing when 713/714 closed its doors. This resulted in the train being delayed and the back train bunching up. This was where I started filming since 713/714 and the PSD were having a hard time closing and leaving Dhoby Ghaut Southbound. When I got out and 713/714 doors closed, the train was stalled for a while more before leaving Dhoby Ghaut Southbound in ATPM (Auto Train Protection Mode), with all of the PSD doors remained open.

At this point, you would hear the SMRT staffs shouting to the commuters to move back as the doors were wide open and anyone could easily not notice and fall onto the tracks. What an interesting way to start off the morning.
