Snail Rail part 1

Almost anyone who sat on the KTM (Keretaapi Tanah Melayu) before would criticise the poor services provided by the transportation company. And when you thought that the waiting time (1/2 hour) was horrible, it just got worse.

On daily basis after work, despite the waiting I would find no problem getting into the train. Apparently people from the back would push you in anyway. Once on the train, rest assured I'll safely reach home. But today the unexpected happen.

It began by the lights and air-con being turned off. It is a usual thing to happen. But today it was off for a long time. Then the momentum of the train start to drain off. And when the situation starts to get uncomfortable inside with sweat and smell all over, the train stopped at the Pantai Dalam station - permanently.

As usual, everyone inside the train was either reluctant to give in his seat or to get out of the train. The train door just keeps open and close and reopen again continuously. Sadly the train ride was over when a loud burst occur as though the train 'tayar pancit'. At that moment, a train coordinator started to scream 'Turun train' 'Turun train'.
