The Malaysian army has apologized after two of its vehicles broke down in Kuala Lumpur on two consecutive days, blocking traffic and inviting derision on social media.
The first incident occurred on Friday, when a PT-91M Twardy tank stalled with engine problems on a highway near the country's Parliament building, the army said in a statement Saturday.Photos on social media showed traffic jams building up around the tank as army officials and police officers attempted to divert cars around it. The tank was towed away by a recovery vehicle 30 minutes later and repairs were carried out, the army said.
The vehicle then continued on its journey to Dataran Merdeka, or Independence Square, where Malaysian Independence Day celebrations will be held on August 31. Both vehicles were involved in rehearsals for the parade, the army said."The army apologizes for the two incidents and will ensure that this does not happen again," the army statement said.
