Lim, who was on train number 40, said that the train he was in was forced to stop at the KLCC station for about 10 minutes to wait for train number 81 to depart.

Train number 81 was in front of train 40.

According to the tweets by Lim, both trains eventually departed from the station, but about 10 minutes into the journey, train 40 was forced to emergency break as train no 81 had stopped abruptly.

Train 81 was empty by the way. Initial reports suggest that train 81 was actually manually being driven at the time. (This has not been confirmed by the authorities as yet).

Blood everywhere

This resulted in all seated passengers being thrown from their standing positions and standing passengers being thrown and competing with other standing passengers.
