Lot of headscarves and narrow gauge. I'm guessing Malaysia.

Yes it is (obviously) Malaysia - I would defy anybody to take a photograph of virtually anything in Malaysia that didn't have their national flag in it, they are very proud of their homeland - but I was rather hoping for a few attempts to identify a more precise location.

Stumbling across (due to my age, possibly Roll Eyes ) this topic, whilst looking for something else - I cheated, using Google:

The image shows the platform of the Sungai Buloh-Kajang MRT Line in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, specifically identified as a platform at Plaza Rakyat LRT Station.

William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament, or Mile Post (a method of measuring the railway in miles and chains from a starting point - usually London), depending on context) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: Stop, Look, Listen.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner."  Discuss.

I am sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but you have been greatly misinformed by Google. (It may not be the first time!).

It is actually the KTM railway station at Alor Setar, where we had just arrived having taken a taxi from Kuala Kedah after travelling by ferry from Langkawi.
