Transport minister Anthony Loke has ordered a probe on the LRT Kelana Jaya Line’s bad day yesterday, where the line suffered two disruptions – one in the morning and another one in the afternoon – frustrating commuters.
“I take seriously the recent service disruptions involving the Kelana Jaya LRT line at the start of Ramadan. The public has every right to expect a more efficient and reliable service,” Loke said, adding that he had instructed Prasarana’s CEO to provide a full explanation at the ministry’s post-cabinet meeting.
The Prasarana head will also have to present “an immediate recovery action plan”. Loke said that the Land Public Transport Agency (APAD) has been directed to investigate the incidents “and take action against Prasarana if unreasonable operational weaknesses are found”.
This comes after the LRT Kelana Jaya Line suffered from two disruptions yesterday. In the first one, commuters reported delays for the second morning in a row. Rapid Rail said that one train had technical problems and had to be driven manually. At 8.10 am, the faulty train was taken out of service and operations were back to normal at 8.12 am.
At 3.07 pm, Rapid Rail posted up an unfortunate update saying that services are experiencing delays due to a disruption to the train door system and platform door at the KLCC station. The fault was rectified within minutes and normal operations resumed at 3.15 pm, but as with most things, there’s a chain reaction and in a 4.15 pm update, Rapid Rail warned of severe crowding at major stations.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
should sack the useless prasarana ceo Untoni Lock , sorry my mistake Loke isnt the prasarana ceo
It’s always Anthony Loke problem. Others just hide behind.
maybe we should pay Loke triple salary since you expect him to be responsible for the jobs of transport minister, Rapid ceo, and prasarana ceo
If he is not in charge why can he give orders? Just fire incompetent Loke!
He can give the orders because he represents the shareholder of Prasarana. And the shareholder cannot be fired.
Who owns Prasarana? KWSP.
Who owns KWSP? MOF.
Who the boss of MOF? PMX.
PMX should be held personally responsible for any train delays or breakdowns.
Although the federal government owns Prasarana via the MoF, the company has its own chairman, president, COO & CEO to run its operations. After the May 2021 Kelana Jaya line LRT train collision accident had happened where 213 passengers were injured, somebody eventually got fired. It wasn’t PM8 & it wasn’t the previous transport minister. It was the then Prasarana chairman, who was also then the Pasir Salak MP. Thus, it’s no surprise that the Prasarana CEO has now been tasked to provide a full explanation & a recovery plan for the latest incidents.
Wayanglah you Loke gor. Sell plates better, you’re good at that.
It’s always Anthony Loke problem. Others just hide behind. so maybe govt should pay Loke triple salary since you expect him to be responsible for the jobs of transport miniuster, mahb ceo, and prasarana ceo
well said!
