Rapid Rail advises social media users to not spread false news and rumours of collapsed LRT bridge

JAMBATAN RUNTUH DI SEBELAH SOGO?

The management of Rapid Rail is quite disappointed with a handful of social media users who resorted to spreading false rumours about a collapsed LRT bridge that apparently fell on the road near the Sogo shopping mall on Thursday morning. According to the Rapid Rail spokesperson, Lim Jin Aun, a road accident involving three cars had no connection whatsoever to the operational scenario of the LRT system.

These irresponsible acts by a handful of social media users had caused a panicky situation for LRT users, as the news spread through Facebook and Twitter. At the same time, Lim hopes that social media users will adopt a more responsible attitude and not spread false news and rumours.

As you can see in the video above, the massive traffic jam along Jalan Kuching was caused by a road accident, and not a collapsed bridge as widely reported.

          Can’t blame the rakyat for not believing the official media because the official media lately has been lying a lot. How to believe?

          Firstly PM’s RM2.6 bil theft. Secondly, DPM comes out and says he met the donor and the donation was for eradication of IS. But the truth is, donation was made in 2013, long before IS emerged in 2014.

          So, Malaysians find it hard when two most top people in Malaysia lie. We find it hard to believe anything anymore coming from official channels

  • And it’s not even a flyover for any LRT rail. No connection whatsoever indeed. Shows how gullible Malaysians can get on social media
