SINGAPORE: Confusion reigned when a KTM train derailed near Seremban on Saturday afternoon, said a Singaporean who was onboard.
Mr Hong Ngar Choong said the Express Rakyat train, with 210 passengers, jumped track around 3.30pm after pulling out of the Seremban station.
He said help was not immediately available and he made his own way back to Singapore after getting out.
The incident resulted in the death of the driver and injury to 12 passengers, including six Singaporeans.
The injured were ferried to a hospital where they received outpatient treatment.
Mr Hong, who was with a group of seven Singaporeans, told Channel NewsAsia he was not injured.
"There was a fair bit of confusion inside our coach, and then there were many opinions - whether to stay in the coach or get out of the coach. Because the coach was slanting, some were afraid that if we were to move to one side, the whole coach may just roll down," he said.
"We waited for a while, but there were no instructions from the so-called KTM authorities, so the passengers decided to just carry their own luggage and... climb down the coach." - CNA/ac
