The need of MRT/LRT in Damansara is definitely there. There is lack of consultation from day 1 and so you will all sort of issues cropping now.

Therefore, for MRT 2 and MRT 3, they should start talking to people now, rather than later.

Lol so true. People.

Yes, sounds easy when we talk.
But in reality its not as easy as ABC.


LOL you.

If what I red from kampung is right, they already asked the MRT to buy it but MRT declined the offer.
Perhaps it was cause after evaluation and calculation, getting sued is far more cheaper than buying their properties.

Therefore in future, planning should involve people from day 1 to minimise uncertainty.

No doubt, MRT in Damansara would finally fill one missing piece of rail coverage. After all, the northwest area is lacking rail.

lol they cant comprehend that the area in front and back of their house dont belong to them

Lets hope they learn their mistake and dont repeat it again.
Although I can definitely said 99.9% they would repeat it again.
HAHAHA

Huhuhuh, the plan is that for MRT 2 and MRT 3, they will only do public display next year

So it will be messy again

Unless you're a Dato' millionaire, there's no such thing as a dream home in KL.

government should just invoke Akta Pengambilan Tanah 1960.......

grab their land ...and pay a little bit of compensation....

kampung u keep suggest underground, but when digging time wont cause crack to the house nearby meh?

wait those houseowner complain again if there is crack

I heard they hired someone from Singapore. This is the way adopted by Singapore. The public has no clue who and where will be affected. They know only after the final plan is released. By that time, what they are supposed to do is follow the instructions to tolerate the changes, or to vacate the acquired buildings. What the public may get is, if the barrier during construction is too high, blocking the view of potential customers, then they can get it changed to something lower or partially transparent.

Actually using this route is also time consuming.

When the Klang Valley double tracking project done in 1990's, the government tried to avoid using this method as it will delay the project (which already delayed back then).

Best way is to find an amicable solution (which both sides trying to find since 2011).

orang kaya sikit sikit kecoh. pindah tempat lain saje lah.

How does the TTDI residents knows exactly the closest buffer zone is 14m when SPAD informed it is beyond 20m? Anyhow I also think that MRT Corp never promise of acquisition but says that is possibilities that, that might happen.



Wait, MRT Crop is already starting to lay tracks? Or do they mean pylons?

Lets see how it goes. I hope the planning issue won't happen again in MRT 2 and MRT 3.

MRT 2 will be more challenging as it passes through some of the densest area in KL.

need MRT to damansara/TTDI area. more job opportunities will be created. always needed to take taxi to interview

No no, it's way way early for tracks.

Right now, so preparatory works in some places, then in some areas, starting to build piers. There is not a single completed viaduct section.

kampung is only /k/ transport minister, not marehshia transport minister.

Building MRT stations near low-density housing estates like TTDI just doesn't make sense. It's a known fact that existing LRT stations next to low-density housing estates have low ridership.

To boost ridership, land around LRT and MRT stations should be compulsorily acquired to be redeveloped into huge condos. Profits from such ventures are enough to finance the building of any number of MRT or LRT lines.

No noise issues. No low ridership issues. No funding issues.

Use one stone to kill 3 birds at once.

The issue is the track, not the station. The station itself is further away from the mentioned area.

Just acquire the whole wide area. Develop into another Mont Kiara.
