  "account": "KUALA LUMPUR, October 4 — In response to ongoing repair work on the Putrajaya Line, Rapid KL has added eight more shuttle buses to assist passengers during the disruption, according to the public transportation authority. The service interruption was triggered by a cable theft near the Taman Equine MRT Station, causing a power outage and leaving a train stranded at the station. Alternative train services and free shuttle buses are currently operating to ensure passengers can reach their destinations. Rapid KL has deployed eight additional shuttle buses to facilitate passenger movement and maintain service continuity. Station staff and auxiliary police personnel have also been stationed at various locations to manage passenger flow. Passengers traveling to Sepang via the East Rail Link (ERL) from Putrajaya Sentral are advised to use alternate routes, such as the KL Sentral or Bandar Tasik Selatan ERL stations. Rapid KL intends to provide regular updates on the service status through its official social media channels.",
