PETALING JAYA: The entrance to the Masjid Jamek LRT station next to the enhanced movement control order (MCO) area has been temporarily sealed off.

Rapid Rail Sdn Bhd said the exit and entry point next to OCBC Bank and Bank Muamalat would remain closed until April 28.

However, commuters can continue using the other entrance next to Masjid Jamek.

It added in a statement on Thursday (April 16) that LRT services would continue to run according to the hours of operation under the movement control order (MCO).

Users of the Kelana Jaya or Ampang-Sri Petaling line will only be able to change trains at the Masjid Jamek LRT Station Plaza.

Those who want to go to East Sentul are advised to use the connection tunnel at the station to change lines and to exit or enter the station next to the mosque.

Customer service officers and auxiliary police will be stationed in the area to help.

These steps were taken to help authorities reduce the movement of civilians in the affected area.

Rapid Rail reminded the public to follow the rules during the MCO, to maintain social distancing and to plan their journeys accordingly.
