<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n\u201cFor more than 20 years, we never heard of an LRT collision, but because it has happened, we feel sad and we want to investigate. In a short time, we should know what happened,\u201d he said after visiting the accident victims and their families at the Kuala Lumpur Hospital today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the 8.45 pm incident, 47 passengers were seriously injured while 166 suffered minor injuries when a train carrying passengers and a faulty train that was being test-driven collided in a tunnel between the Kampung Baru and KLCC stations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile, Muhyiddin said he had directed Transport Minister Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong to immediately restore LRT services, especially at the accident area, and to ride on the LRT himself to ensure its safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIf everything is settled and there is no more danger, he (Wee) said that in the next few days it (the LRT services) will be back in operation,\u201d he said while urging the public to be patient if they faced difficulties using the LRT services in the wake of the accident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the same time, the Prime Minister said that three victims were still being treated in the intensive care unit (ICU), while two more were being monitored in the normal ward. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said the doctors\u2019 reports showed that all victims were stable, with those in the normal ward set to be discharged soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThose in the ICU will take a little more time to recover and to be discharged. I pray that all of them will recover soon and return to their families as well as be able to continue with their duties and responsibilities,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Earlier, he visited the crash victims before meeting the family members of the two victims in the ICU and getting a briefing from Kuala Lumpur Hospital director Datuk Dr Heric Corray and Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Adham Baba.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile, Muhyiddin, who spent about six minutes speaking to the families of the victims, expressed his sadness and gave them words of encouragement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe doctors are always there and will take care (of them) 24 hours\u2026 (I) pray that they will recover soon and be healthy again,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
