Enough is enough, say irate commuters
KUALA LUMPUR: Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) passengers want stronger security measures after an attempted cable theft along the Kajang MRT line from Phileo Damansara to the Damansara town centre was disrupted this morning, following a suspected cable theft attempt.
KUALA LUMPUR commuters are demanding stronger security measures following an attempted cable theft on the Kajang MRT line, disrupting services from Phileo Damansara to Damansara town centre. The five-minute delay left passengers furious, questioning if the government is genuinely addressing the issue. Shaarvishen Gopal, a student, said cable thefts disrupt their lives, and commuters need concrete solutions, not apologies.
Karthigeswary Mageswaran, a public transport user, added that preventive measures have failed despite previous incidents. Noor Izzati Akmar Hairu Al-Akmal was speechless and furious, demanding better security. Nur Farah Yasmin Bahari Hisham questioned the effectiveness of current CCTV coverage and security personnel. Siti Farhana Muhamad Rapidi, who relies on public transport, said the incident has undermined her confidence in the service.
She noted that commuters have limited alternatives when MRT services are disrupted, as road congestion worsens due to the delays.
