More on the cat in the MRT station. It does seem that the SPCA has gotten similar calls in the past - so hopefully it was a lapse in this case, and that there really is a system in place.
Now it appears that someone claims that it was their community cat - though I haven't seen the caregiver's name mentioned in any report till today. There are no other details - like for example, why there doesn't seem to be any mention of the caregiver being in the station looking for the cat when the writer of the letter was there - so perhaps there may be other circumstances we are not aware of. Otherwise, it is surprising because I wonder why the caregiver waited to come forward.
Again, please remember, time is of the essence if you lose a cat. Look for it right away. The longer you wait, the more likely it is you're not going to find your cat again.

Did Mr James Tan help to catch his cat after it jumped out of his carrier? Mr Tan had a carrier and despite a faulty catch, the carrier wld be far better for containing the cat than plastic bags. It would be disruptive for commuters and dangerous for the cat to be running in an MRT train station.
If a caregiver came forward to claim the cat as being one of her community cats, I'm thinking it went this way:
She feeds the cats and at the usual feeding time in the evening noticed the cat wasn't around. Maybe not unusual for that cat, so didn't get worried right away. Maybe the cat does like to roam and roamed right into the MRT station, where it became terrified.
Actually - the caregiver said in the article he was carrying it in a carrier, and the latch sprung open.
So I guess I missed something here. Does this mean that the guy that was carrying the cat was in the station at the time of the incident? And didn't bother to try to reclaim the cat after it escaped from his carrier?
Oh so can i say that he is the murderer of his own cat. I believed that he saw which direction the cat go when it escaped from his carrier and why he can't even bother to look for it?
Brad - it does seem that way from the article.
Anonymous - I wouldn't go that far, but I do find it puzzling that there was no mention of the caregiver in the station when everyone was trying to trap it.
