MRT Putrajaya Line service back to normal today, power supply issue from March 3 cable theft fixed

MRT Putrajaya Line service back to normal today, power supply issue from March 3 cable theft fixed

The MRT Putrajaya Line service is back to normal today after the power supply issue – discovered on March 3 and due to cable theft – was rectified. With that, the alternative train service and free shuttle buses provided to bridge the gap ends.

To recap, the service disruption started on March 3 due to a power supply problem near the Damansara Damai station. Trains coming from Putrajaya Sentral (and KL) had to turn back at the Metro Prima station in Kepong while trains coming from Kwasa Damansara turned back after making the short journey to Damansara Damai. A shuttle train between Metro Prima and Damansara Damai was introduced.

Rapid Rail says that throughout the disruption, it deployed nearly 180 extra staff to assist passengers at affected stations, in addition to 20 free buses.

The rail operator has made a police report at the Damansara police station and is cooperating with PDRM on the cable theft investigations. As a prevention measure, Rapid Rail is stepping up safety monitoring on its tracks and facilities by auxiliary police patrols. The public is urged to report suspicious activities at train tracks – call Rapid KL’s customer service at 03-78852585 or the cops if you see anything shady.

      He represents the shareholder of Prasarana & the shareholder cannot be fired.
      You are also just too sick & too tired to remember that PDRM is not under the transport ministry.

        • betul ke u ni rakyat Malaysia? on Mar 10, 2026 at 7:49 pm

          A mossad agent like u, masquerading as a fake rakyat Malaysia, is of course giving such remarks, in order to try destabilizing the Malaysian govt, in retaliation for its strong pro-Palestinian, anti-zionist israel policy. It is also likely u are involved with this cable theft in an attempt to sabotage the Malaysian transportation infrastructure.
