MTR Malfunction Causes City Slowdown
.
Summary:
Multiple MTR stations were packed with disgruntled passengers after a malfunction in the signalling system this morning brought four lines to their knees – an unprecedented failure for which the company offered an apology, while the general public suffered the full brunt as the breakdown created a domino effect on other means of public transport.

Language Enhancement:
Malfunction (n.)(故障)
字首 mal- 帶有 badly「差劣地」和 incorrectly「錯誤地」的意思,因此 malfunction 的意思就是錯誤地 + 運作 = 故障,形容機器無法正常運作。用法是 malfunction + in/of + N.。
e.g. I think there is a malfunction in the coffee machine. The coffee tastes like water.
e.g. Airplanes need to undergo routine mechanical inspections to ensure the highest level of safety and to prevent any potential malfunctions.
