  "summary": "Train services on the MRT Putrajaya Line were disrupted due to a cable theft near the Taman Equine MRT station. The incident, detected at 5:24 am, caused a power supply loss, according to Rapid KL.\n\nPassengers faced longer waiting times, particularly at UPM, 16 Sierra and Putrajaya Sentral stations, as per Malay Mail. To assist, alternative train services and free shuttle buses were activated. Trains from Kwasa Damansara turned back at UPM Station, and trains from UPM turned back at 16 Sierra Station, both at 10-minute intervals, as reported by Malay Mail and Free Malaysia Today.\n\nA shuttle train between 16 Sierra and Putrajaya Sentral operated at seven-minute intervals, while free shuttle buses ran between several stations at 15 to 20-minute intervals, depending on traffic, as stated by Malay Mail and Free Malaysia Today. Eight buses were deployed as additional support, according to New Straits Times.",
