Thanks to Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad (KTMB) for providing a special commuter train from Sungai Petani to Butterworth, Penang to fulfill the dream of 17-year-old Aziana Shaari, who was paralysed when a concrete wall behind her house collapsed and fell on her eight years ago.

KTMB chairman, Datuk Musa Sheikh Fadzir told BERNAMA that the initiative was taken upon learning that riding a train has always been a dream for Aziana since she was small, and the teenager was always excited to see trains travelling on the railway tracks near her house every day.

The train ride which departed at 9am was also joined by two paramedics who were responsible to monitor the health of the teenager throughout the trip.

Meanwhile, Aziana said she was beyond thrilled to have the opportunity to experience her first train ride, “Thank you, KTMB for fulfilling my dream today,” she said.

Wahh, we are also so happy for her!

Thank you KTMB, what a kind thing to do for someone!
