36 SUHAKAM Report of Public Inquiry into the Incidents During and After the Public Assembly of 28 April 2012 3.49 Tuan Haji Kairani bin Mohamed (W41) stated that the decision to close down the Masjid Jamek LRT station was based on their Code Romeo (Riot or Civil Disturbance) (Exhibit 62(b)). Section 10.10.1 of the Code states that the Field Operations personnel should be prepared to close stations, if necessary. The station at Masjid Jamek was closed at 3.00 pm until 5.30 pm to ensure the security of the passengers and their staff, as well as to safeguard the property of the company. W41 stated that the CCTV showed that the situation at the station was becoming uncontrollable and therefore the order for the shutdown was given. However, upon questioning by the BERSIH observers, W41 agreed that the staff could have been better prepared by being equipped with gas masks, thus obviating the need to shut down the LRT stations. Exhibit 62(b): Section 10.10 of Syarikat Prasarana’s Code Romeo (Riot or Civil Disturbance)
