Reading this news, Malacca monorail suspended 48 hours
and knowing how problematic China's bullet and other trains have been
experiencing serious reliability problems resulting in fatal
consequences, I think the Melaka Government should view this with
serious concern. And the question must be asked, even though it's in
hindsight.. "Why was the KL Monorail
company not involved in the Melaka project, as there must be cost and
other advantages getting a local company with a successful track
record?"
It
is even more embarrassing as the Melaka monorail will be mainly used by
tourists, and in the event that any future incident have fatal
consequences, we will never be able to forgive ourselves. I also observe
in the picture, in one of the emergency measures, in the event of the
monorail stopping in the middle of nowhere, a rope ladder will be
deployed to rescue the tourists trapped in the coaches! Can you imagine
elderly foreign tourists being asked to climb down a great height using
this oscillating rope ladder in an emergency, and this scene is flashed
all over the globe?
Heaven Forbid!!!!!
