KUALA LUMPUR: A total of 373 passengers were stranded on a monorail train along the Medan Tuanku route near Maju Junction on Thursday (Nov 20) morning.
However, they were safely evacuated by Rapid Rail Sdn Bhd.
Kuala Lumpur Fire and Rescue Department operations commander Mohamad Remi Che Hat said the Operations Centre received an emergency call at 9.39am.
"According to information from the monorail operator, the situation at the location was under control, and the evacuation of passengers from the stalled train was carried out by the management," he said in a statement on Thursday.
He said one of the passengers - a 58-year-old woman - fainted during the incident, but she received medical treatment and was handed over to the Health Ministry for further evaluation.
Earlier, Rapid KL said in a statement that repairs to the technical system malfunction at the Kuala Lumpur Monorail’s Medan Tuanku station have been completed.
"All alternative train services have been discontinued. Train operations have now returned to normal," the statement read.
"We apologise for the inconvenience caused, and thank you for your patience."
Earlier on Thursday, commuters experienced significant delays after technical issues halted trains between the Medan Tuanku and Chow Kit stations.
