KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 9 — The Land Public Transport Agency (APAD) is still waiting for the report from Prasarana Malaysia Bhd regarding the Ampang Light Rail Transit (LRT) line service disruption incident due to a kinked track alignment near the Bandaraya LRT station, last month.
In a statement today, APAD said it was working with relevant government agencies to identify the actual cause of the incident.
In response to an article published by a portal today, the agency said it had never accused any party of being the cause of the incident.
“The main focus of this agency is the safety of the people who use public transport every day.
“All the decisions made by APAD are for the sake of public safety and it is the government’s priority to regulate the country’s public transport industry,” according to the statement.
APAD, in a statement issued on January 27 had recommended Kuala Lumpur mayor (DBKL) Datuk Seri Mahadi Che Ngah that development and restricted activities in the railway protection zone be suspended immediately following disruption on the Ampang LRT line service.
The recommendation was submitted in accordance with Regulation 8 of P.U.(A) 367 until the actual cause of the disruption is known and all aspects and safety requirements are complied with by the project owner.
