  "account": "Rapid KL has officially acknowledged increased passenger numbers and congestion at Pasar Seni station on the Kelana Jaya LRT line, causing delays and crowded conditions for commuters this morning. Although the operator has only confirmed the issue at Pasar Seni, several passengers have reported slow-moving trains and prolonged stops at multiple stations, leading to late arrivals for work. Commuters, such as @nibukanyon, @addazwan, and @jazz_sidhu1, have taken to social media to express their frustrations, with some suggesting that they delay their journeys due to the poor service. Rapid KL implemented entry and passenger-flow controls at affected stations to ensure a safe and smooth movement of commuters, but these commuter reports have not been independently verified by the operator.",
