The monorail system in KL has once again hit the news – for the wrong reasons. This time the train stalled when power was cut after the system detected a traction problem.
The loss of power resulted in the air-conditioning being shut down making it difficult for some passengers to breathe. Full report in NST.

And Down Under, Sydney is scrapping its monorail soon. There were red faces after passengers had to be rescued following a power cut.
