Kelana Jaya LRT line upgrades to affect 27 stations from Aug 9 to Nov 22
PASSENGERS on the Kelana Jaya LRT line can expect temporary service disruptions from Aug 9 to Nov 22. Prasarana Malaysia Berhad group chief operating officer (strategy and development) Dr Prodyut Dutt said the disruptions are due to phased upgrades of the line's Automatic Train Control (ATC) signalling system. 'The system will be upgraded to the latest SelTrac Generation 8 signalling system, featuring real-time data analytics, enhanced cybersecurity, and more stable communications,' he told a press conference at Menara Prasarana on Monday (July 28). He added that the upgrade is part of a long-term solution following a major disruption in November 2022. The works will take place in three phases. Phase 1, which was completed on July 19, primarily focused on depot areas. During the upcoming phases, selected stations will open later than usual – at 9am instead of 6am – on weekends and public holidays to minimise commuter inconvenience. Phase 2, running from Aug 9 to Sept 14, will involve 10 stations from KLCC to Gombak (Aug 9, 10, 16, 17, 23: KLCC, Ampang Park, Damai, Dato' Keramat, Jelatek; and Sept 5, 6, 7, 14: Setiawangsa, Sri Rampai, Wangsa Maju, Taman Melati, Gombak). Phase 3, scheduled from Oct 11 to Nov 22, will involve 17 stations from Lembah Subang to Ampang Park (Oct 11, 12, 18, 19: Lembah Subang, Kelana Jaya, Taman Bahagia, Taman Paramount, Asia Jaya, Taman Jaya; and Nov 1, 15, 16, 22: Universiti, Kerinchi, Abdullah Hukum, Bangsar, KL Sentral, Pasar Seni, Masjid Jamek, Dang Wangi, Kampung Baru, KLCC, Ampang Park). Stations not involved in testing will operate on their normal hours. To ease travel during the disruptions, Prasarana will provide free shuttle buses and vans connecting the affected stations. Trained personnel, including station staff, auxiliary police, and Prasarana Troopers, will be stationed on-site to assist passengers and ensure smooth transitions. Passengers are advised to check the full schedule at or follow Rapid KL's social media channels for real-time updates.

Foreign student to be charged today over slashed ex-girlfriend at university
SUBANG JAYA: The foreign student accused of slashing his ex-girlfriend in the neck with a knife at a private university here will be charged today. District police chief Assistant Commissioner Wan Azlan Wan Mamat said the suspect would be taken to the Shah Alam Sessions Court to face charges under Section 326 of the Penal Code for voluntarily causing grievous hurt using dangerous weapons or means. If convicted, the offence carries a maximum sentence of 20 years' imprisonment, a fine or both. "We have been instructed by the deputy public prosecutor to produce the suspect in court today," he said when contacted. In the incident on July 14, the suspect allegedly attacked his 20-year-old ex-girlfriend with a knife, causing injuries to the left side of her neck. It was reported that police recorded statements from 12 individuals as part of the investigation into the stabbing of the female student at a private higher learning institution recently. Dissatisfaction over his ex-girlfriend's alleged lies that he had stopped her from leaving the house is believed to be the motive behind the attack. The victim was treated in the intensive care unit at Universiti Malaya Medical Centre.
