RapidKL said the repair works for the automatic doors are ongoing and trains on the route from the Kajang station to the Merdeka station will take longer than usual.

“However, train services at other stations are running as usual. We apologise for any inconvenience caused,” said RapidKL on its website.

Commuters have taken to social media to complain about longer waiting times, with one posting on X (formerly known as Twitter) that the waiting time for the next train was 16 minutes.

Another user also complained on X that he could not enter the Pasar Seni station and posted a picture of a crowd.

Meanwhile, a user requested RapidKL to update the estimated waiting times, but RapidKL only replied by saying “trains to Merdeka station are operated manually due to malfunction of automatic doors”.

Earlier, on May 19, Kajang MRT line services were also disrupted due to technical problems with air pressure at the Pasar Seni station.

RapidKL then advised passengers to use other means of transport, including alternative train and bus services provided by the company.

RapidKL later said in a statement that repairs were completed by 6.57pm and that the Kajang MRT line had resumed operations in stages.

“The operations team (also) deployed vacant trains to the Pasar Seni and Bukit Bintang stations in order to reduce the congestion at the platforms,” RapidKL said.

It also said that a thorough investigation would be carried out later tonight to find out the cause of the malfunction.
