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
