PRASARANA CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER SUSPENDED BY BOARD

MALAYSIA’S main public transport operator has suspended its chief executive officer over rising complaints about its services, several sources told The Malaysian Insight.

The Prasarana Malaysia Bhd board suspended Mohamed Hazlan Mohamed Hussin on Christmas Eve, mainly for public dissatisfaction over its light rail transit (LRT) services, the sources said.

The complaints are largely over the poor quality of the LRT system that had not been resolved.

Commuters are also angry over the slow dissemination of information on breakdowns.

Transport Minister Anthony Loke confirmed the suspension.
