Forth location undergoing repair works would be the Sri Raya MRT stations escalator which had its handrail and balustrade bearings replaced on 14 December and the final location being the Taman Connaught MRT station which had its lift core roof refurbished also on 14 December.

Anthony Loke in a press statement today told BERNAMA that he is happy at the speed Rapid KL is working in undertaking all the repair works. He further stated that all the public facilities maintenance must be made a culture to ensure these facilities are in good working order.
