The train has been reaching its end of its lifespan for operating more than decades on very heavy use and some components inside our tracks as well requires a very complex mechanics which are used to shift the train tracks. One faulty part could cause these switches to jam or misalign causing what happened today.

I was shocked to hear that there were cable test thefts happening between Sunai Bulo and Damsara Damay that actually cause major disruptions to the MRT line. 125,000 Malaysians are depending on the train every day. transport minister he has been doing everything he can asking to explain themselves during a cabinet meeting you know he said that the public has every right to expect a reliable train service and Prasarana they gave in their recovery action plan new trains will only be arriving in about two years time in batches let's hope that this weekly disruptions doesn't disrupt our working
