There were no more picture taken after this photo
because the KTMB train was halted three times
and we were stranded in the middle of no where.
No announcements were made,
no alternatives were offered,
no solutions were given.
We were made to wait with no info given at all.
When asked, staffs could not give a specific answer.
The train which was supposed to reach JB Sentral at 6.40 pm
finally reached its final destination around 2.00 am the next day.
There was a 7 hours delay.
No apologies were given.
If not because of the beautiful sceneries
Malaysia had given me along the way,
this would have been the most horrible experience
I ever gained with public transportation here.
KTMB should have equipped their staffs
with better and effective crisis management system.
