Mystery sleeper in the station

This happened yesterday morning as I was on my way to work. As usual, I arrived at the Putra LRT station at Taman Paramount super early. Taking the escalator up to the platform, I saw this Indian guy (obviously a homeless) sleeping on the concrete slab just above the bus waiting area. Me, along with others who saw him too, wondered how in the world did he got up there.

Arriving back at the station after work, I walked around the place where the Indian slept and found out how. Took some photos too.



The first photo was of course the person in question, curled up as he sleeps. In the second and third photos, the beautifully drawn red arrows show where the spot was. As one can see, there was no way he could squeeze through the bars, so the point of entry has to be from outside.

The fourth photo shows the bus waiting area, the blue-coloured surfaces on the top were the concrete slabs. At first glance, I couldn't find any place where the Indian could get in. But then, as I looked closer, Bingo!! The last photo showed that there was a huge gap between the zinc and the concrete slab. The Indian guy must have climbed through here and spent a cold night on a hard, cold surface.

Mystery solved!
