The body of the man, in his 60s, was sent to the forensic department of Sultan Idris Shah Hospital for a post-mortem. In February, a blind elderly man died when he was struck by a train after losing his balance and falling onto the tracks at the Titiwangsa LRT station. Prasarana Malaysia Bhd later said it planned to install platform sensors at LRT stations to enhance passenger safety, particularly for people with disabilities. The company also said it would begin installing platform screen doors at LRT stations, similar to those used in MRT stations.
