At 6:07 pm on June 4, 2026, Kelana Jaya Line train number 62 came to an abrupt stop near Dang Wangi Station after its automatic safety system was triggered while departing the station [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]. The sudden stop caused a standing passenger to lose balance, and his water bottle struck a glass panel next to the seating area, shattering it [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]. The glass fragments injured five passengers who were seated nearby [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6].
Of the five injured, two were taken to Kuala Lumpur Hospital for further treatment while three others received care at the scene and continued their journey [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]. Other passengers aboard were uninjured and disembarked at Damai Station to transfer onto a following train [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6].
The train involved, number 62, has been removed from service for a thorough technical inspection as a precaution and in line with standard operating procedures [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]. Despite the incident, Kelana Jaya Line services continued to operate normally, though train frequency was adjusted at several locations while the affected train was out of service [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6].
Rapid KL has launched an investigation to determine the cause of the automatic safety system activation and emphasized ongoing passenger safety and comfort [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]. They advised passengers to always hold onto handrails and maintain stable positions during journeys, especially when trains are moving or approaching stations [4].
