Monorail drama downtown Kuala Lumpur

There was some drama downtown yesterday afternoon when a monorail coach suddenly stopped on the tracks due to a malfunction. It happened in Brickfields in front of Wisma Monorail and near Siew Dor apartments as reported yesterday.


A total of 183 people were left stranded for close to an hour before they were rescued by firemen using two Skylift cranes.


Three passengers, including a pregnant woman, reportedly fainted when the air-conditioning system failed due to a power loss.

The two-car train, which was packed with people commuting to the city, stalled at around 2pm yesterday after leaving the Tun Sambathan station.

  6. The problem with the monorail stopping there is the air con also stops working and the air inside becomes unbearably hot. Some of the passengers could not breathe and that's scary!
