Repair work is underway to restore power supply and train services on the Putrajaya Line following a cable theft near the Taman Equine MRT Station, Rapid KL said on Sunday.
Market Impact
The service disruption was caused by a loss of power following the cable theft near Taman Equine Station, which was detected at 5.24am on Sunday, according to the rail operator. Following the incident, a train was stranded at the station, while technical teams were mobilised to inspect the affected area and carry out the necessary repair works to restore power supply and train services.
Rapid KL said in a statement on Sunday that alternative train services and free shuttle buses are still operating to assist passengers, with eight additional buses deployed to facilitate passenger movement. The operator advised passengers travelling to Sepang via the Express Rail Link from Putrajaya Sentral to use alternative routes via the KL Sentral or Bandar Tasik Selatan ERL stations.
Station staff and auxiliary police personnel have also been deployed at stations and bus stops to help manage passenger movement, Rapid KL said. The operator said it would provide updates on the service status from time to time through its official social media channels.
The disruption affects the Putrajaya Line, which forms part of the Klang Valley Mass Rapid Transit network operated by Rapid Rail, a subsidiary of Prasarana Malaysia. Cable theft incidents on rail infrastructure have occurred previously in the network, though the source did not specify the extent of the stolen cable or the estimated repair timeline.
Rapid KL's statement did not indicate when full service would resume. The operator's deployment of eight additional shuttle buses supplements existing feeder services along the affected stretch. Passengers were directed to monitor Rapid KL's official social media channels for further announcements regarding service restoration.
The incident was reported by Bernama and Newswav on Sunday, October 4. The Star published the report at 22:00 UTC on the same date.
