RapidKL uses Annabelle to ‘scare’ commuters into behaving

KUALA LUMPUR: Taking commuters’ conduct to task again, RapidKL has decided to employ the use of Annabelle, that infamous haunted doll, to remind all its users on the need to be courteous and considerate.

In its latest post on Facebook, Annabelle could be seen sitting at one of the MRT gate entrances and the other taking a ride on the MRT herself.

The pictures came with the caption: “Dear valued customers, lately we’ve been receiving surprise visits from Annabelle. Mind your manners while you are on our trains or… she will haunt you FOREVER.”

It was also captioned with hashtags #citizenwithmannerswanted and #forabetterfuture.

RapidKL’s spokesman said the sole purpose of the witty campaign was to generate civic awareness among the public.

“It is heartening (for us) to receive such feedback from the public and we believe this has generated so much awareness.

“We hope that the public’s social etiquette will be improved, not only when using the public transportation but also when they use any public facilities,” said its spokesman when contacted by New Straits Times.

The post uploaded today has now received more than 18,000 reactions on Facebook with over 6,300 shares.
