KUALA LUMPUR: The government will be responsible for ensuring that incidents such as the Light Rail Transit (LRT) train collision do not happen again, said Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.
Speaking to Bernama, he said the government took a serious view of the incident involving the two LRT trains which collided on Monday and ensure that a thorough investigation was carried out to find out the cause of the accident.
“The issue of the collision has already reached the level of the special task force that was formed to investigate the cause and effect of how it could have happened.
“For more than 20 years, we never heard of an LRT collision, but because it has happened, we feel sad and we want to investigate. In a short time, we should know what happened,” he said after visiting the accident victims and their families at the Kuala Lumpur Hospital today.
In the 8.45 pm incident, 47 passengers were seriously injured while 166 suffered minor injuries when a train carrying passengers and a faulty train that was being test-driven collided in a tunnel between the Kampung Baru and KLCC stations.
Meanwhile, Muhyiddin said he had directed Transport Minister Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong to immediately restore LRT services, especially at the accident area, and to ride on the LRT himself to ensure its safety.

“Thank God, both have been carried out and are ongoing.
“On the part of the government, I will ensure that a full investigation will be conducted and improvement measures will be taken to ensure an incident like this does not recur,’’ he said when commenting on his visit to HKL.
