Services on the Kelana Jaya light rail transit (LRT) line were severely disrupted today by two incidents, The Star reports. The first took place in the morning when faulty brakes on a train at the Setiawangsa station stopped services for about an hour, causing many users to arrive late for work. The line finally resumed operating at around 9.45 am.
The second occurred later near the Universiti station, and reportedly also involved a faulty brake system. This time however, the implications of the problem were far more serious – the affected train caught fire, forcing the KJ line to halt operations.
The publication reported that the fire and corresponding smoke was visible from the Federal Highway, and this led to a massive traffic jam on Federal Route 2 as motorists stopped or slowed down their vehicles to have a better look at the mishap.
RapidKL said that all passengers on the train were safely evacuated, and line service only resumed running at around 1 pm. It added that the train experienced a brake system fault that might have led to the fire.

Bangga la?
Malaysia Boleh!
So? Your point is?
Ferrari Lambo even your tin milo Alza got burnt. Why you dun complain?
Toyota and p2 are moving coffins, no improvement of safety since ages, why no complain?
The haters will bash Proton no matter what. Even if an asteroid hits us they’ll bash Proton left, right and centre.
The LRT has been misquoted.
LRT did not catch fire, only some spark is seen.
There is no faulty brakes, just some banana skin left on track by some unscrupulous people.
LOL so typical Malaysian. LRT problem also can cause jam on Federal Highway because of kepochi motorists
Eh. This is a seized brake issue which is not caused by poor maintenance.

ek eleh..bnyk alasan la. hari2 mkn nasi lemak aje tau.
German/Canadian train caught fire, faulty brakes, nobody panics.
Chinese train got setup glitch, everyone loses their mind.
Not German/Canadian train, but Malaysian/Canadian train.
The star online, April 2010: “Bombardier is supplier of the new 35 sets of four-car trains for Prasarana for the Kelana Jaya Line. The parts of the trains are manufactured by Bombardier and will be assembled by Hartasuma Sdn Bhd in Malaysia.”

Bombardier Transportation, their rail arm, is located in Berlin. Can say their trains are more German than Canadian.
Tren rosak pun ko salahkan kroni…nie mesti penah nk jd kroni tp x dpt..
#sian
Only knows how to blame itu la ini la.. what the la malaysian today.. what do u know about lrt maintenance?.. everything wanna relate with politics.. like u people know everything.. u blame lrt maintenance do u understand a word “mishap”? does anyone in lrt wanna burnt people inside lrt coaches? this kind of attitude is what keeping our people nowhere to go..
They are typical malaysian people borned with negative mentality and mindset.. What to do?
Headline should say “Jam on Federal Highway caused by kepoh Malaysians”
Can’t imagine what gonna happen here to bullet high speed train in future, monkey in charge of maintenance ?
Since Singapore’s MRT had a breakdown last week as well, I guess they employ monkeys as well eh?
Could it be nothing more than simple WEAR & TEAR issue? Even with the best of maintenance mechanical parts can get broken, so unless this happens everyday, I don’t really think maintenance is totally at fault here.
You’re right. Maintenance is not at fault here. Let’s just say I was involved in the development of the next gen Kelana Jaya Line trains and Prasarana has brought up this issue to the train supplier many times. Suffice to say they’re insisting that a new brake supplier be found.
Dei Nasi Lemak, when SG MRT breakdown, they gv 1 day full FREE bus services to various destinations. They employed more officers to handle the situation and guide the MRT users to the Bus and various solution. They guide traffic smoothness and etc etc. In your bolehland, what they did? Did they give you FREE NASI LEMAK for the whole day? Next time, dont compare heaven(sg) with your Nasi Lemak management. Thank you for your understanding!
mind you, those are not ordinary monkey, they are smart for their own good.
The train denies it caught fire. Newspapers are just trying to bring down RapidKL. Someone should arrest the station cleaning lady for conspiring to damage the train.
Dear leader denies belakang mari. Newspapers are just trying to bring down dear leader. Someone should arrest his house maid for conspiring to damage his image.
