KULAI : Two young girls from Singapore panicked and jumped off a
Malaysian train through a window on Friday after they realised that
they had missed their stop.
Luckily for the two sisters, aged 8 and 10, the train was just
pulling out of the Kulai station and the older girl only scraped
her hands and knees while her sister escaped unhurt.
Kulai police station head, Chief Insp Andam Sulim, said the
incident occurred at about 10.30am.
The girls were travelling alone from Singapore to Kulai to visit
their relatives.
"We believe that they overslept and panicked when they realised
that they had missed the station, and jumped off through the
window.
"Luckily the train, from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur, was just
starting to move, otherwise they could have suffered serious
injuries," he told Bernama.
He said the girls were sent to the Kulai district hospital by the
Malaysian railway staff. - CNA
