Prasarana explained today that it had to halt LRT service from Kelana Jaya to Ampang Park due to concerns that there might be another train collision.
The firm’s CEO Azharuddin Mat Sah said trains were unable to move automatically yesterday and that RapidKL could not “see the trains” on monitors.
“And that’s very important… So we had to make the very tough call to suspend operations.
“We know that many are affected by this disruption, but our priority is safety. We certainly don’t want the unfortunate incident that happened in May 2021 to happen again.
“Whenever we run our operations, we have to be confident it’s safe. If we don’t meet the high standards we’ve set, we will not run the trains and will inform the public accordingly,” he said at a press conference today.
