Prosecutors have opened an investigation into 'gross negligence in sea traffic', the coast guard says.

Wee Ka Siong says the objective of the investigation was to determine the cause of the collision to improve public transport services, not to prove the guilt of any party.

It is our duty as voters to stay vigilant against sweet promises and pleasing rhetoric and match them against politicians' track records, regardless of which side of the divide they are from.

Muhyiddin Yassin says he has directed Transport Minister Wee Ka Siong to restore LRT services and to ride on the train himself to ensure its safety.

Transport Minister Wee Ka Siong says this is three days ahead of schedule, thanks to staff who worked non-stop for three shifts.

Rafizah Amran also urges a stop to fake news on the recent LRT collision.

Finance Minister Tengku Zafrul Aziz says the sacking will take place with immediate effect.

The transport minister says the investigation will also take into consideration a range of technical and operational components in connection with the collision.

Tajuddin Abdul Rahman is a liability, not only to Prasarana but also to the government which appointed him to the chairman's post.

The transport minister says the empty train should have been moving south but moved north instead, causing the crash with the other train which was carrying 213 passengers.

Twenty-nine men and 36 women are still being treated at Hospital Kuala Lumpur.

Prasarana says the service will operate with a train frequency of 10 minutes during peak hours and 30 minutes at other times, as well as a 50% capacity reduction.
