THE Singaporean injured in Monday morning's railway mishap is now recovering in the Singapore General Hospital.
Retiree Mohd Noor Rahmat, 78, was travelling home from Kuala Lumpur when the Keretapi Tanah Melayu (KTM) train he was on derailed near Batu Anam train station in Segamat, Johor. He was in one of the two coaches that flipped on their sides.
Mr Mohd Noor was taken to Segamat hospital for treatment but came back to Singapore in an ambulance on Tuesday morning.
He was one of three elderly Singaporeans hurt in the incident, one of whom was his wife, and the only one still in hospital . Fourteen other passengers were also hurt.
Though his left eye was still swollen shut and his neck was in a brace, Mr Mohd Noor was in good spirits.
He had been dozing when he was awoken by a loud sound and saw the coach 'jump off the tracks'. Chaos ensued as three carriages separated from the other six.
