RAPIDKL has denied allegations of a viral post about an explosion or fire involving an MRT train along the Kajang route yesterday.
RapidKL in a statement yesterday said there was the sound of a spark from train 28, which was removed from service at the Taman Mutiara station as it triggered the track power supply alarm at a nearby station.
“The incident caused or produced a ‘spark’ sound as reported. However, there was no explosion or fire.
“For safety reasons, the train was removed from service and passengers were asked to board the next train at Taman Mutiara.
“The train involved was taken to the depot after operating hours for a detailed inspection,” it said, adding that transit officers were constantly monitoring the situation to ensure the service was not disrupted.
Earlier, a social media post by an MRT user claiming there was a train explosion went viral on social media, sparking public concern. – Bernama, November 30, 2023.
