SHAH ALAM, July 4 – A 27-year-old man sustained serious head injuries after falling onto the Kelana Jaya Line LRT tracks at Subang Alam station in Section 27 here this morning.

New Straits Times cited Selangor Fire and Rescue Department assistant operations director Ahmad Mukhlis Mokhtar saying they received an emergency call at 8.07am and deployed a team of eight personnel from the Shah Alam station.

“A team from the Shah Alam Fire and Rescue Department comprising eight personnel, along with a fire engine and an Emergency Medical Rescue Services (EMRS) vehicle, were despatched to the scene and arrived nine minutes later,” he said.
