00:01Commuters on the Kalana Jaya LRT line have had a rough time lately, and the operator is now facing questions
00:08over a string of recent disruptions on one of Klang Valley's busiest rail lines.
00:12The line experienced service disruptions on May 12th and May 18th, drawing widespread public frustration.
00:18The May 18th incident was caused by a component failure at Kalana Jaya station, while investigations into the May 12th
00:24disruption revealed a damaged battery cable insulator,
00:27the first such failure since the line began operations back in 1998.
00:32Rapid Rail Chief Operating Officer, Noor Azmi Muhammad Yusuf, addressed the incidents at a media briefing on Wednesday, acknowledging that
00:39aging trains have contributed to some technical failures.
00:42He however stressed that not every disruption is caused solely by the age of the fleet.
00:46Bukan semua incident ataupun kerosakan train disebabkan atas faktor usia train.
00:53Jadi ada juga yang seperti saya terangkan tadi, mungkin yang kita rasakan ianya adalah kerosakan ataupun mungkin pengguna anggap disruption
01:03ni sistem rosak.
01:05Tetapi sebenarnya dia adalah ketidakstabilan daripada sistem yang sedang dinaik taraf.
01:12Jadi yang ini saya rasa perlu clear because bila sistem sedang dinaik taraf, untuk mencapai satu tahap kestabilan sistem, dia
01:20juga mengambil masa.
01:21Jadi mungkin kontraktor juga akan lihat daripada operasional of the system apabila ada kerosakan-kerosakan kecil yang akan ditangani oleh
01:37pihak kontraktor dan ditambah baik oleh pihak kontraktor.
01:39Tetapi kerosakan kecil ni juga akan memberi impak kepada operasi kita.
01:44The pressure on the line is real. Spanning 46.6km across 37 stations, the Kelana Jaya Line has seen passenger
01:52numbers more than double between 2020 and 2026.
01:56In April alone, the load factor hit 109%, well beyond capacity.
02:01To prevent future breakdowns, Rapid Rail says it has shifted to a condition-based maintenance approach.
02:06We take a condition-based maintenance approach. This is one approach that is proactive.
02:14It is possible to remove the bags before there is a disaster.
02:17As for longer-term relief, commuters may have to wait.
02:2126 new trains are expected to begin arriving in 2029, with the full fleet replacement set for completion by end
02:28of 2030.
02:29Until then, Rapid Rail says it remains committed to keeping the line running safely.
02:33...sampai waktu untuk midlife refudishment.
02:36Di mana dia akan...
02:44...sampai waktu untuk midlife refugishment.
