  "account": "The maintenance crew is conducting an investigation and repair work to restore power supply and train service disrupted due to a cable theft near Taman Equine Station. (Image from Facebook) PETALING JAYA: The Putrajaya Line MRT service experienced delays following loss of power supply, resulting from a cable theft incident near Taman Equine Station. Rapid KL stated that the disruption was first noticed at 5:24 am when a train failed to operate at Taman Equine Station. According to Rapid KL, the operational issue is expected to cause commuters to wait longer, particularly at UPM, 16 Sierra, and Putrajaya Sentral stations. \"Rapid KL views the cable theft incident seriously as it may affect the smooth running of services and operational safety. We will continue to monitor the situation and provide real-time updates on service status via Rapid KL's social media channels and MyRapid PULSE travel app,\" it said in a statement. In response to the incident, technical teams are moving in for inspection and repair work to restore power supply and train service. In the meantime, trains from Kwawasan Damansara will be diverted to UPM at intervals of every 10 minutes. Trains from UPM will also be diverted to 16 Sierra at the same frequency, while intercity trains from 16 Sierra to Putrajaya Sentral will operate every seven minutes. Rapid KL has also activated free shuttle bus service between Serdang Jaya, UPM, Taman Equine, Putra Permai, 16 Sierra, Cyberjaya Utara, Cyberjaya City Centre, and Putrajaya Sentral. This shuttle bus service is expected to operate every 15 to 20 minutes, depending on traffic conditions. Commuters using Putrajaya Line to continue their journey to Sepang via ERL service at Putrajaya Sentral are advised to allow extra travel time. As an alternative, they are advised to use routes via KL Sentral ERL or Bandar Tasik Selatan ERL stations, according to Rapid KL.",
