Railway operator KTM has been urged to put in safeguards after travellers pried open the doors of a moving train, resulting in a woman falling on the tracks at Woodlands Train Checkpoint.
Responding to media queries, an Immigration and Checkpoints Authority spokesman said the woman tripped and fell into the gap between the platform and train at about 5.35am on Wednesday, and sustained injuries to the knee and left elbow. An ICA officer, whose was on duty conducting checks on the train, saw what happened and pulled her up from the train tracks, with the help of several travellers.
ICA said the train design made it possible for passengers to open the doors of the Keretapi Tanah Melayu train from inside the carriage and disembark at the platform before the train came to a stop. She said: “ICA will be bringing this matter up to the train operator so that the necessary safeguards could be put in place. We would like to remind travellers to only disembark from the train after it comes to a complete stop, for their own safety. “
