"This method is an addition to the current methods used such as temperature scanners at stations, hand sanitisers, and train sanitisation," they added.

"Hopefully with these methods in place, passengers would be more confident to use KTMB's services," the rail operator noted in their post.

They also explained that the use of the helmets are still in the trial stage to ensure it's effectiveness and suitability with auxiliary police.
