3.48 Tuan Haji Kairani bin Mohamed (W41)33 testified that on 28 April, the LRT was
operating as usual, even though they knew that a public assembly was taking
place that day. According to W41, the LRT operator had had experience in handling
large crowds such as those attending concerts or football matches, and that they
were well prepared to manage large crowds. In fact, their revenues on such days
are usually excellent, and it was the same for 28 April 2012 up until he closed the
station at 3.00 pm.
