Rapid KL denies train driver sleeping on the job
Company says train captain was merely taking a short rest but has been reprimanded all the same.
KUALA LUMPUR: Rapid KL today denied an allegation that a train captain of the Ampang-Sri Petaling LRT was spotted sleeping on the job.
Prasarana Malaysia Berhad (Prasarana) Group Communications and Strategic Marketing head Lim Jin Aun said the train captain was not sleeping, but had only placed his head on the driving panel to take a short rest.
“We were informed that he took a short rest while waiting for the train, which was operating on semi-auto, to arrive at a station. The allegation in the article is not true.
“Nevertheless, it is still an offence because train captains are required to be on stand-by at all times during the journey,” he said.
He said this in response to an article posted on a social website on July 3 about a train captain of the Ampang-Sri Petaling LRT spotted sleeping while on duty.
Lim said disciplinary action had been taken against the train captain concerned.
“A warning letter has been issued to him and he has been suspended from work for a week since yesterday.
“He has also been ordered to go for counselling and attend courses on technical guidance and self-development,” he added.
Lim said passenger safety was of utmost importance in Rapid KL’s train and bus operations and the company would not compromise in ensuring the high work quality standards of its staff.
