  "account": "On September 23, 2023, a brake system malfunction on a train at Jalan Ipoh Station led to disruption on the Putrajaya Line, according to Rapid KL. The company reported the incident in a media statement this morning. In response, Rapid KL activated alternative train services to ensure uninterrupted passenger movement along the affected sections of the line. Technical teams were dispatched to inspect and repair the faulty system, the operator stated. Police officers and station staff were also deployed to assist passengers during the disruption.\n\nAlternative train arrangements were put in place by Rapid KL. Trains departing from Kwasa Damansara Station began turning back at Jalan Ipoh Station at five-minute intervals. Trains originating from Hospital Kuala Lumpur Station turned back at Putrajaya Sentral Station at six-minute intervals. Additionally, a shuttle service was established between Kentonmen Station and Hospital Kuala Lumpur Station, operating at seven-minute intervals.\n\nRapid KL assured that updates on the situation would be regularly communicated through its official social media channels and the MyRapid PULSE application.",
