This was revealed earlier today by the Minister of Transport, Anthony Loke Siew Fook, during a media conference held after the launch of theBoth the LRT and MRT services faced separate disruptions yesterday on 27 March 2023, causing delays as well as requiring passengers to seek alternative modes of transport.
“Surely, what happened during the peak period yesterday affected many passengers,” Loke told the media during the press conference, specifically referring to the Kelana Jaya line’s disruption. “They must look at the actual cause of this technical glitch because it has happened frequently over the past two weeks.”
The minister said instructions had been given to Prasarana Group chairman Tan Sri Jamaludin Ibrahim to obtain all reports regarding the technical problems faced by both services. The transport ministry would take various measures to deal with any issues that crop up, and also ensure that incidents caused by technical issues such as those that happened yesterday would not reoccur, he added.
On 24 May 2021, a manually-driven empty LRT train collided with an automated train with passengers between KLCC and Kampung Baru, resulting in 166 minor injuries and 47 serious injuries. Yesterday, it was reported that eight individuals who were involved in the incident are suing Rapid Rail and Prasarana for alleged negligence over injuries sustained.
