To put it very simply, the Changi Airport MRT Station is sited such that each end of it touches T2 and T3 respectively. So to get to T2, you walk to one end of the station, and to T3, the other end.
There is a "suspension bridge" of sorts spanning across the full length of the mrt station between the two entrances, so it is very possible for anyone to walk between T2 and T3 using the MRT station without having to enter the gates.
In fact, it is the fastest way to move between the two terminals, beating even the skytrain! There was once during the T3 open house when I was having lunch at the T2 Swenson's restaurant. Realising the A380 is about to land at T3 in 5 minutes time, I ran from the restaurant straight into the T3 viewing gallery in 3 minutes flat. Of course that is no longer possible now since the T3 viewing gallery is now accessible only to those with boarding passes, but you get the picture!

Wow, i'm interested to time this observation tmrw night.
I'm sure there's one line where they say it as "berhati-hati ruang di platform". The first few times I heard it as "be happy happy". After that, I can only see Singapore in a positive light.
I didn't mind it, besides having to stand. It is better than the subways in Toronto, New York, and London from my experience. Even though the airport line is just 2 stops, it's good that at least there is an airport line. A lot of the subway networks (here in Toronto especially) don't have a subway/transit train going into the airport. You have to get off at a specific subway station and catch a transit bus, and these are a lot slower of course.
MRT is also probably the cleanest transit system I've ever been on.
