She wasn't the only one

In the comments section, several other Malaysians who were allegedly on the same train also shared their experiences.

One user recalled screaming and nearly bursting into tears after shards of glass struck her face.

"I was sitting just behind the area. I screamed and was almost in tears when the glass hit my face. Some KV students were also struck on the head by the glass."

Another user said she and her friend had been seated right next to the window that shattered. "My friend and I were sitting right beside the window that broke. We were quite sleepy when we suddenly heard a loud sound, almost like an explosion. We were tired and on our way home from class. Thankfully, no one was seriously injured, but it was a shocking experience because the noise was so loud. My whole body was shaking."

KTMB is investigating the matter

Meanwhile, KTMB has acknowledged the incident and said it is conducting an investigation to determine the exact cause. The company added that repair works are underway to replace the broken window and ensure the safety and comfort of passengers.

"The safety of passengers remains our utmost priority. In this regard, KTMB would like to remind the public that acts of vandalism against trains and railway assets not only cause damage to property but could also potentially jeopardise passenger safety.
