Malaysia’s Army has been left red-faced after two of its vehicles broke down in the capital

Traffic was blocked for two consecutive days after a tank stalled, and a prime mover vehicle broke down in Kuala Lumpur.

Police officers did their best to divert cars before the tank was towed away by a recovery vehicle. Likewise, mechanics undertook repair works on the prime mover before it carried on its journey.

Some motorists were seen slowing down to catch a rare glimpse of the military vehicles, which were parked on the city’s busy roads.

“The army apologises for the two incidents and will ensure that this does not happen again.”

The vehicles were part of independence day rehearsals, with a full programme of events set to take place on Wednesday.

“But should it recur, a standby recovery team will be dispatched to the location as quickly as possible to tow the stricken vehicle away in order to avoid traffic jams,” the army said.

It is understood 129 of the army’s vehicular assets were involved in the parade rehearsals.
