Malacca monorail stalls after rain, 18 HK tourists stranded

It is incredulous, that the Malacca monorail has stalled AGAIN after rain, and 18 HK tourists stranded in the latest misadventure of the ill fated rail service, just days after SPAD the Land Public Transport Commission has approved its running. As the monorail is used mainly by international tourists to view the historic Melaka City, what sort of impression does the State Government, and the Ministry of Tourism want to give to the outside world?

It's such a shame, and worse so, as the Monorail seems to have been allowed to operate even though we know that the wheels do not operate well in the rain. Don't we also know that November to January are the traditional months for the wet monsoon season?

This episode of a malfunctioning monorail is but a continuation of a series of comedic errors made by the authorities, though I am sure the Tourism Ministry is not laughing. Neither were the tourists who were stranded in the Monorail
Malacca monorail giving us a bad name!
