KUALA LUMPUR: Netizens have slammed MRT users for irresponsible parenting while riding on the newly opened Sungai Buloh - Kajang Line.  
The pictures, uploaded by Facebook user Nana Abd Rashid, show a parent hanging a pink-coloured baby cradle on a train railing, and another parent allowing his children to stand on the bench.  
“Why not bring along a mattress and a comforter to the MRT?” she questioned in her post.
Nana said that parents should constantly monitor their children while using public transportation. 
"A child’s safety is a parent’s responsibility. What if there’s an emergency and the child fell down? That will definitely go viral and MRT will be blamed for it,” she said.                        
Another Facebook user took a sarcastic jab at the pictures.   
“Next time, bring along a rice cooker and a kitchen. Make the MRT your second home,” said AgusTiar Edward Taufik.  
Another Facebook user, Azah Haziq Akashah, shared similar views and questioned how Malaysians behave when using public transport.   
“What if the kid got injured from falling down? Who will be responsible?”  
Facebook user Fae Pa’e stressed that parents must prioritise the safety of their children, while Fatiha Aisya said parents should ensure that their children are at their best behaviour in public.  
“Benches are for sitting and they are definitely not for standing. Parents should always be aware of their children’s manners," said Fatiha on her Facebook post.  
Phase 1 of the line from Sungai Buloh to the Semantan station in Kuala Lumpur, was opened in December last year, while the second phase connecting Semantan to Kajang opened last Monday (July 17).
