From Monorail Society website:

 

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Testing has successfully concluded and today marks the first day of four-car monorail train service for KL Monorail. The first two of the new Scomi-designed and built trains are today marking a new era for the popular monorail. The new trains incorporate advances made from Scomi's train design for Mumbai Monorail. A third train is undergoing testing and will join the first two in revenue service soon. The fourth train will be delivered on site before the new year. Nine remaining trains will arrive throughout 2015. Rapid Rail Chief Executive Officer, Haji Khairani Mohamed, said, "The entry of the four-car trains undoubtedly marks a new era for Rapid KL Monorail Line. Apart from doubling its capacity, the new trains are installed with additional features for safety, vibrancy and comfort." Rapid Rail has upgraded all 11 stations with new universal access features, extensions of the station platforms and a new direct connection for pedestrians at KL Sentral Station.
