RM5B-RM6B PLAN: Prasarana is expected to call for tenders next year

THE government may build a third light rail transit (LRT) line from Kelana Jaya to Port Klang, believed to be costing RM5 billion to RM6 billion.

Dubbed the Shah Alam LRT line, Syarikat Prasarana Negara Bhd (Prasarana) is expected to call for tenders for the project next year, after a proper due diligence to be undertaken by the Land Public Transport Commission (SPAD) is completed.

Prasarana is a wholly-owned government company established by the Finance Ministry and the operator and asset owner of LRT lines.

SPAD chief development officer Azmi Abdul Aziz confirmed that the new Shah Alam LRT line is on the drawing board and that it will span 20km to 30km.

He, however, declined to comment on the estimated development cost.



Azmi said it will be an open tender and companies with existing contracts for the Kelana Jaya and Ampang LRT line extension projects will be allowed to bid.

"It is no more like before where companies that had won LRT jobs couldn't bid for the same development. As long as the companies are qualified and have met the necessary funding and technical requirements, they can bid," he said.

"This is totally a new line and very important for the public. Shah Alam is becoming densely populated, with new townships coming up.

"The new line would allow people from Port Klang and Shah Alam to come to the city without hassle. It will complement the existing Kelana Jaya and Ampang LRT lines," he added.

It is learnt that the Shah Alam line will start from the LRT station in Kelana Jaya, head towards the Shah Alam stadium and pass through Klang, before stopping in Port Klang.

In Port Klang, the LRT line will also be linked to the KTM commuter station to serve the growing population.

Malaysia is currently extending the existing Ampang and Kelana Jaya LRT lines under a RM7 billion plan.

The two extensions involve a total of 34km and Prasarana have awarded almost all of the contracts for the jobs.

Good news to those property speculators. A simple headline and the house price will go *BOOM*

Hope it pass thru Setia Alam and integrate with Klang Sentral.

But the bad point.......Property price in Setia Alam & Setia Eco Park naik lagi

The keyword " MAY"

Urgh, baik beli rumah sekarang...oh wait, I didn't have the money.

Setia Alam already damn expensive

LRT 3, which the proposed line also called, is a dedicated LRT line.

LRT 1 = Kelana Jaya line, LRT 2 = Ampang line.

Any plan to extend it to putrajaya sentral? already got monorail station in putrajaya sentral but not connected to any monorail, sad....

Future plan for Putrajaya might be (based on SPAD plan):

- Putrajaya monorail might be revived

- Having MRT 3 passing from Selayang to Putrajaya

Page not found for the spad link?

Ah, sorry.
