Maintenance and facility and equipment were the most influential factors towards Safety Performance with coefficient value of 0.487. The study findings can further enhance and contribute to have a better understanding of relationships that influences the railway maintenance to help KTMB figure out a better approach to improve in the future as well as help to make suggestion on how to enhance the safety issues and when designing and regulating the safety management system, several policies suggestions can be helpful for the decision makers of rail system’s operators and selected authorities.
