KTMB Is freaking Dangerous

Last saturday I had to take the KTM Berhad (Keretapi Tanah Melayu) which is a public train service in Malaysia from Klang to Kuala Lumpur to help with a function. While waiting for the train at Klang KTM Station, The train that stopped there was so many centimetres away from the platform. Passangers had to literally jump, about 12inches to get to the platform. There were also old people who struggled to get accross.

From my experience, the KTM services is getting from bad to worst. There are alot of trains that are not properly functioning. Infact tis particular train had to be pullled using an external locomotive because the main one wasn’t working. They also had to have another platform that hosted a Generator.

I understand that they are trying to become better, but I guess that they are just now trying hard enough.
