Question
Neolight Ltd. had applied for the license for railway scheme that connects Kota Bharu and
Kuala Terengganu. In the application, since the route that they choose need to go through a
river, they proposed to build railway tracks crossing a river using a bridge. The width of the
river is 200 meter and Neolight Ltd. suggested that the bridge will be built with the length of
400 meter to accommodate the need of having ample length and support for the bridge. Also,
the application suggested that there should be a supporting pillar every 20 meters for the
part of the bridge that stand over the river. Nevertheless, the said suggestion was rejected
by the Director General of Land Public Transport quoting the requirements as unnecessary as
it would be enough if the length is shortened to just 300 meter and a pillar for every 30 meters
for the part of the bridge that stand over the river. Since it is a requirement to get the license
for the scheme, Neolight Ltd. follows it.
After the application was approved, Neolight Ltd. build the facilities needed for the railway
scheme. Upon completion, Bangat Ltd. requested from Neolight Ltd. to operate railway
services on their facilities and the permission was granted. The operating license application
was made to the Commission according to the process and flow prescribed by the law and
they receive the approval letter from the Minister in the 3rd quarter of 2024, granting the right
to operate beginning 1st January 2025. Bangat Ltd. uses the name of Bangat Express Train
(BET) for their service.
Rahim plans to travel from Kuala Terengganu to Kota Bharu and purchase the ticket of BET.
During the early part of the travel, it was a smooth journey, until the train reached to the
bridge that the cross the river. During the crossing, the train become extremely shaky, Due to
the extreme shake, Rahim who sits next to a window, hit his head hard to the window. He
suffered bruises and cut due to that incident. After completely crossed the bridge, the train
stops. The train conductors walk through the coaches to see if all the passengers are alright.
Unfortunately for Rahim, he suffers some injuries. The conductors assist him with the injuries
while calling for immediate help from the nearest hospital. Rahim later was brought to the
nearest hospital. The doctors at the hospital run a few tests, including Magnetic Resonance
Imaging (MRI) to see if Rahim suffers internal injuries due to the hit, since he said that he felt
bad headache after the hit. Unfortunately for Rahim, the doctors detected that there is
internal bleeding in his brain and surgery was done immediately.
Bangat Ltd. reported the said incident to the Commission citing it as one of the worse shake
suffered by them during the service. The Commission conducted the study and found out that
the incident, which is known as hunting oscillation, was caused by the condition of the bridge
that is tilting sidewise. Discuss on who should be the defendant, should Rahim wants to
initiate legal action? Advice Rahim over the said matter.
