KUALA LUMPUR, Oct. 30 -- Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has directed Transport Minister Anthony Loke to urgently address overcrowding on train services, warning that the problem could disrupt the daily routines of commuters.

The directive followed a complaint by a Threads user identified as siti.anisahj, who highlighted overcrowding at train stations in a post last night, according to a report by Berita Harian.

Anwar, who is also finance minister, said he had also instructed Rapid KL to look into the problem and ensure a swift solution.

"We (the government) must be more attentive and take action," the Tambun MP said...
