KUALA LUMPUR, May 7 — The Monorail service between the KL Sentral and Medan Tuanku stations has been temporarily suspended due to a fallen tree on the tracks near the Raja Chulan Monorail station during a storm this afternoon.
Rapid Rail Sdn Bhd said it has activated train services between Titiwangsa and Medan Tuanku (Platform 1) as well as deployed feeder buses to and from KL Sentral to Medan Tuanku.
“Rapid KL is working with the Kuala Lumpur City Hall to resolve the temporary disruption as soon as possible. For now, police and firemen are controlling the situation at the scene,” it said in a statement.
Any updates will be communicated periodically through social media channels and the PULSE mobile app.
“We apologise for this unexpected disruption and thank passengers for their patience,” Rapid Rail said.
In the 2.19pm incident, a local man died, and another was heavily injured after a fallen tree hit 17 vehicles and the Monorail track during heavy rain and strong winds along Jalan Sultan Ismail.
