00:00Wally, about the case of the new woman who came to the track train LRB Abulongkong,
00:06what do you think about the safety measures of the train train for LRB Abulongkong?
00:17First, the woman was able to get away from the hospital.
00:25It was one of the incidents that were happening before this.
00:32So, what we have done before this is that we have discussed the conversation with Prasarana
00:40and Prasarana has been able to put the pin to the platform on our platform.
00:49Because to put the pin to the platform on our platform, it is not a simple project.
00:56It is because it is the first to the cost of all stations and all stations needed to be replaced.
01:02Because before this, we had a design for the time that there is no pintu-pintu pin to the passenger
01:09screen door.
01:09That only has in the newer system like MRT.
01:15MRT has PSD.
01:17But for LRT, the system long, including monorail, it was not there.
01:22Monorail was still in the middle of the house.
01:24Now, the pintu-pintu it was there.
01:26So, we are looking for the most easy to let the car on our platform.
01:31So, we have to provide an amaran to the passengers, that first, there are many technologies, not only pintu or
01:43barrier,
01:46but there are also technologies-weather other than siren, infrared and so on,
01:51which gives the attention to the passengers.
01:54But, this is one that we see and is currently being carried out by the side of the house.
02:04So, we hope that this project can be done as soon as possible to ensure that the incident like this
02:11is not going to happen.
02:13Okay?
02:14Okay, thank you very much.
