Question

Accepted Answer

No Damage Found on LRT Train Following Incident

Initial assessments following an incident on the Kelana Jaya LRT Line have revealed no damage to the affected train or its components. The train, identified as Train No. 57, was withdrawn from service as a precautionary measure on July 1st at approximately 7:18 PM. Passengers were safely disembarked at the subsequent station.
Train and Infrastructure Inspected

Following the event, Train No. 57 underwent initial inspections to ascertain its condition. These checks confirmed that the train itself and its various components sustained no damage. Concurrently, the operational infrastructure, specifically the tracks between Universiti and Taman Jaya stations, was also examined and found to be in good condition and safe for continued use.
Cause Identified as External Wire Entanglement

The loud sound, described as a "small explosion," was attributed to a thin external wire that became entangled with the train's power supply system. This wire was not part of the train's equipment nor the railway infrastructure. Its interaction with the power supply system is believed to have caused the sound.
No Injuries Reported

The incident, which occurred while Train No. 57 was en route to Putra Heights from Taman Jaya station, did not result in any injuries to passengers or staff. The immediate withdrawal of the train and the safe disembarkation of passengers were conducted as standard safety protocols. Operations on the Kelana Jaya Line continued without disruption.
