Maybe it's more common in the MRT subway stations because of the enclosed subterranean nature of the setting? A blast underground could potentially do more damage than one up on the track?

I once had to wait around 10 minutes (or it seemed to me that long as I was alone and the station was almost empty). In Europe, there is a notice how long it will take until the next train arrives, but no notice on traffic lights how long it takes until they turn green.
