Rawang KTM Station Construction Mishap: A Costly Lesson in Negligence

In a startling incident on December 12, 2023, negligence by contractors involved in the multi-level parking project at Rawang Keretapi Tanah Melayu (KTM) station resulted in losses exceeding RM2.4 million. The aftermath saw a construction crane collapsing on the track between Rawang and Kuang, triggering widespread disruptions that affected more than 20,000 train passengers.

Contractor Warnings and Freezing of Approvals

According to NST, transport minister Anthony Loke disclosed that KTMB had issued warnings to the contractors, leading to the freezing of approvals to the Public Works Department (JKR) and Railway Assets Corp (RAC) due to unauthorized construction work near KTMB’s operational track. The revelation sheds light on a disregard for safety protocols that could have averted the catastrophic incident.

The freezing of approvals indicates a systemic failure in oversight and raises questions about the efficacy of regulatory checks in preventing unauthorised construction activities.
