KUALA LUMPUR: Hundreds of commuters were left stranded for hours after a technical glitch stopped the KL Monorail at about 1pm Saturday.

Monorial stations were jammed with commuters as they waited for coaches which did not arrive.

Announcements were made that the service was experiencing a technical problem and would resume in a short while.

“When I asked what was wrong, a staff told me that there was something wrong with one of the trains’ gearbox,” said restaurant owner M. Gopala, 49, at the Imbi station.

Soon the crowds grew larger as commuters continued to pour in.

“People were queuing on the escalators as the platform was already packed,” said Gopala, who later took a taxi.

There were similar scenes at other stations.

P. Jayavinayagan, 25 said the incident had inconvenienced many people who were out shopping.

“The service should have been maintained at its best during the peak hours,” he added.

A ticket seller, who declined to be named, said trains only started running at about 4pm.

KL Monorail and Syarikat Prasarana Negara Berhad could not be reached for comment.

Yes, I’m friggin adamant to lodge a police report on my next door bitch for harassment and discrimination.

This is to teach the majority of the finnish people a lesson for racism.

And this shall take place on Friday.

Yeah I super kiasu that’s why I changed my theme to Christmas already now … and we just got our first snow this winter … wtf.

Alright, it doesn’t shock me that a private school would close down due to poor enrollment but Sri Inai has been around for decades and it’s closing down … isn’t that a waste??? By giving last minute notification to the school kids and their parents is definitely not a very considerate action. Can you believe the school sent out notifications of the school’s closure just a week ago to announce its closure by 1 Jan 2009??? That’s not ethical as the students need time to find, apply and be accepted by other schools. Besides, the school fee varies from school to school. That’s absolutely not good. There are so many aspects that these parents have to take into consideration like school fee, transportation and academic performances of their kids.

My cousins and a few friends came from that school. I believe they are equally disappointed with the decision to close the school for good. Well, well … as for the poor kids, they can opt to transfer to Sri Cempaka, Seri Suria, Sri Garden, Sri KL, Sri KDU Smart, Sri Sedaya … hmmmm what else ar? I don’t really know anymore. They cannot go to Sayfol or Fairview because those schools run on British system. To have them go (or return) to government schools would be a very difficult transition. Almost like a culture shock. Poor kids, really.
