Allow train crash task force to do its job, say cops

KUALA LUMPUR: Police have urged the public not to speculate on the cause of the train crash on the Kelana Jaya LRT line last night.

Dang Wangi district police chief Mohamad Zainal Abdullah said the task force team should be allowed to conduct a thorough investigation into the incident.

“During this period, the public or any party should not try to raise any speculation, assumption or opinion that can cause confusion and disrupt public order,” he told Bernama.

He said this when asked to comment on allegations by individuals linking the incident to a cyber attack.

Last night, 213 people were injured, including 47 seriously, when a train carrying passengers and an empty train that was being test-driven following a fault collided head-on.

The transport ministry has set up a special task force to investigate the incident. — Free Malaysia Today
