Train was taken out of service and passengers were disembarked
Rapid KL reported that the incident happened at 7.18pm yesterday, involving Train No. 57 at Taman Jaya station heading towards Putra Heights. As a safety precaution, the train was immediately taken out of service. Passengers were safely disembarked at the next station and then continued their journeys on another train.
Rapid KL stated there were no injuries
In its statement, Rapid KL explicitly said that no one was injured. The operator also said operations continued as normal after the incident response. That framing indicates the situation was handled without reported passenger harm.
Initial inspections found no damage to the train or its components
Rapid KL said initial inspections found no damage to the train or its components. The checks on the track between Universiti and Taman Jaya stations also found the infrastructure to be in good condition and safe for operations. A more detailed inspection was carried out after service hours.
Investigators linked the incident to a stray thin wire
Rapid KL said investigators found a thin wire that was not part of either the train or the railway infrastructure had melted at the scene. The wire was believed to have become entangled with the power supply system, producing the “small explosion”-like sound that prompted the train to be withdrawn from service. Rapid KL said it would continue investigating and implement appropriate preventive measures to avoid recurrence.
