KUALA LUMPUR – Rapid Rail Sdn Bhd (Rapid Rail) said that monitoring done on the Kelana Jaya LRT line’s critical service systems indicates that all is safe and stable.

In a statement yesterday, the company said that it was conducting tests on the 38 trains as it is important to establish stability and dependability before any decision to reopen the line is made.

“The Kelana Jaya LRT service will only be opened to the public after the tests conducted show no disruption to the critical safety systems and passes assessment by the Land Public Transport Agency,” the statement read.

Prasarana Malaysia Bhd had previously announced that the LRT service between Kelana Jaya and Ampang Park would be suspended for seven days beginning November 9 till November 15 due to unstable service.

The temporary suspension was made after taking into consideration passenger safety and the time it would take to identify the cause of the service disruption.

The Kelana Jaya LRT service now operates from the Gombak to Damai stations and from Lembah Subang to Putra Heights. – Bernama, November 13, 2022
