Anwar tells Transport Ministry, Rapid KL to act on train overcrowding complaints

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 30 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has directed Transport Minister Anthony Loke to urgently address overcrowding on train services, warning that the problem could disrupt the daily routines of commuters.

The directive followed a complaint by a Threads user identified as siti.anisahj, who highlighted overcrowding at train stations in a post last night, according to a report by Berita Harian .

Anwar, who is also finance minister, said he had also instructed Rapid KL to look into the problem and ensure a swift solution.

“This (train overcrowding) happens frequently and it certainly disrupts the daily routines of the wider public.

“We (the government) must be more attentive and take action,” the Tambun MP said.

The prime minister’s response attracted widespread attention, garnering more than 25,000 likes, nearly 300 comments and about 1,500 reposts.

In her earlier post, siti.anisahj shared several photographs showing the crowded conditions faced by train commuters, particularly in the capital, on a daily basis.

“Assalamualaikum @anwaribrahim_my. Could we have more train carriages, please? It's like this every day... driving means getting stuck in traffic, while taking the train means it's packed,” she wrote.

On October 12, KLIA Ekspres and KLIA Transit services were reportedly disrupted following two cable theft incidents within several hours along the airport rail corridor.

The incidents forced passengers to endure longer journeys and changes to train schedules.

The theft involved about 180 metres of signalling cables, comprising two sections of 90 metres each, between Putrajaya and Cyberjaya Station and Salak Tinggi Station, near the 44km marker.

Earlier, on October 8, the Kajang MRT Line experienced overcrowding at Bukit Bintang Station, with the situation lasting about three hours due to an increase in passenger numbers.

The congestion was also believed to have significantly affected commuters at other train stations, including Bangsar LRT Station, where many passengers were left stranded.

吉隆坡，10月30日讯——首相拿督斯里安华·易卜拉欣已指示交通部长陆兆福紧急解决火车服务过度拥挤的问题，并警告说，这个问题可能会扰乱通勤者的日常生活。

据《每日新闻》报道，该指令源于一位名为 siti.anisahj 的 Threads 用户昨晚发帖投诉火车站过度拥挤的问题。

身兼财政部长的安华表示，他已指示Rapid KL公司调查此事，并确保迅速解决问题。

“这种情况（火车拥挤）经常发生，而且肯定会扰乱广大公众的日常生活。

“我们（政府）必须更加重视并采取行动，”淡汶国会议员表示。

首相的回应引起了广泛关注，获得了超过 25,000 个赞、近 300 条评论和约 1,500 次转发。

在她之前的帖子中，siti.anisahj 分享了几张照片，展示了火车通勤者，特别是首都通勤者，每天面临的拥挤状况。

“Assalamualaikum @anwaribrahim_my。请问能否增加一些火车车厢？每天都是这样……开车意味着堵车，而坐火车又意味着人满为患，”她写道。

据报道，10 月 12 日，吉隆坡国际机场快线和吉隆坡国际机场交通服务因机场铁路走廊沿线数小时内发生两起电缆盗窃事件而中断。

这些事件迫使乘客忍受更长的旅程和列车时刻表的变更。

被盗的电缆约 180 米，由两段各 90 米长的电缆组成，连接布城站和赛城站，以及沙叻丁宜站，靠近 44 公里路标处。

此前，10月8日，加影捷运线武吉免登站出现拥挤情况，由于乘客数量增加，这种情况持续了约三个小时。

据信，交通拥堵也对其他火车站的通勤者造成了严重影响，包括 Bangsar 轻轨站，许多乘客因此滞留。
