The low ridership according to my persona opinion

1) RM4 park and ride too high.
2) LRT fare price hike.
3) No feeder service.
4) Train travelling too slow. Travelling time too long.
5) Need to change platform at S.Petaling.
6)
7)

Eg. Travelling to Hang Tuah station from IOI Mall station to Hang Tuah, single journey token fare is RM4.00 + RM4.00 parking. Total cost of travelling is RM8 and time spent to and fro estimate 2.5 hours Home > LYP > home (including parking, walking and waiting for train)
If you plan to go to Lowyat Plaza to do a 1 or 2 hours warranty claim, would you rather drive (not during super peak rush hours) or take the LRT ??

Another thing I just found out is that the fare from BK5 to Hang Tuah is RM4.30 but Puteri to Hang Tuah is only RM3.60. 4 stations further but cheaper by 70sen. how come ar ??

Upon wasted my precious executive time to do a further research on this matter, I found weird pricing mechanism in the LRT fares.
Let's take Tesco station for example, next station IOI is RM1.40 and all the way increase to RM3.70 at Sungai Besi but drop to RM3.50 at BTS then up again to RM4.20 at Salak Selatan then drop again to RM3.70 at Cheras.
We need LYN Transport Minister Kampung2005 explanation on this matter.

SIngle Journey token

Hopefully, readers who travel on LRT daily can help to ask the counter why the fare system is so confusing.

I read somewhere that if you exit the same station that you first entered, there is a minimum charge of 80sen. I think this is applicable to cashless travel, If I'm not mistaken la.

80sen is single journey token. But no body is going to buy same station token.
70sen could be cashless card.

BK5: RM333.90
IOI: RM331.20
Tesco: RM323.60
TPP: RM314.20
B Puteri: RM314.60
P.Perdana: RM314.50
P.Prima: RM315.90
P.Height: RM304.50

Most expensive station: RM367.90
Cheapest station: RM221.30

Damn! the total fare to travel from one selected station to all the stations, My nearest station BK5 is the most expensive among the Puchong stations.

Total fare to travel to all stations is different from one stations to another. Below is the fare table for stored value card (cashless). To find out whether your station is expensive or not, download the excel file then use auto sum to find out.

Opss !!

Try go around your taman and look for houses under renovation, check out the contact number on the big metal tong sampah. There are two types of tong, normal and high side walls.

Bro, how much is your daily traveling cost (Parking + LRT) to work place using LRT?
Compare to drive to work place, would you able to achieve saving in terms of time and money?

Thanks for sharing.
My is short duration trip to KL during off rush hours. Cost of using LRT round trip is average RM12/trip including parking. Sometimes, depending on duration of the visit and the parking rate at the destination building, driving is cheaper and faster for me.

Prepare the following:
1) cal-lab surge isolator.
2) multi gang trailing socket (need at least 5 socket points)

Plug the surge isolator to your wall socket then plug the multi gang to the cal-lab.
Plug all 5 main devices ie modem, router, TV, streaming device and cordless phone to the multi gang socket.

Android TV box got macam macam brands and specs, if your TV is 4K, then you may want to consider a box can support 4K, at least in future you subscribe unify or time 100mbps line, can watch YouTube 4k or Netflix 4k. Anyway, 1080p is very good liau.
Those box with embedded underground Astro contents or free paid TV channels normally selling more expensive because of pre-installed ahem ahem but hardware specs so so only. It's up to you but I wouldn't go for it because the ahem ahem can siok siok stop working after some time leaving you an expensive but lousy box.
For quality box with quality OS, these are the few names, all angmo brands...AppleTV, Roku, Amazone Fire TV.
For cheap cheap but ok device...Google Chromecast.
For Windows lover, go for Windows TV stick. Got so many brands, just google la.

Btw, don't pay extra if seller says his box got Kodi. Kodi is a free ware downloadable from Kodi site. Kodi is very mafan one and not so user friendly. Kodi is formerly known as XBMC.

After installing Cal-Lab Lightning isolator, I never had appliances KFC ever since. I can't recall how long but surely more than 10 years. But I do had my Cal-Lab self-destroyed twice (a process of power surge isolation ). The isolator arrest small power surges and isolate (self-destroyed) if the surge is too strong in order to protect the devices connected to it. Luckily, Cal-Lab provide lifetime damaged isolator replacement for RM25 per unit.

If you are looking for surge protection, look for a protector that can arrest small surges as well as isolate if the surge is too strong.

Cal-Lab got different models for different usage.
I have 5 units of isolator protecting 5 different areas in my house. Refrigerator is running 24/7, so it gets a dedicated isolator. Other equipments protected are TV, Astro, Streaming box, modem, router, cordless phone, PC, fax, printer.
The isolator most prone to surge damaged is the one connected to cordless phone.

Wall socket. Then multi gang trailing socket. The the entire protection circuit must form an "island".

If I'm not mistaken, Belkin is just a surge arrester. When the current surge is stronger than the arrester's threshold, it will let the current pass thru without "self-sacrifice" (isolate).
As for Cal-Lab, it will arrest current surge as well but if surge is stronger the its treshold, it will self-sacrifice to isolate (cut off) the current from damaging the appliances/devices.
My PC+cordless phone+fax machine connected within an island of a self-sacrifice Cal-Lab survived twice from lightning strikes.

Cal-Lab charge RM25 for each replacement, maybe this could be reason why they can afford to offer life time replacement warranty.

My China mari box got live telecast. No need Astro supersport. Not bad

There are a lot of European soccer matches but I'm not sure which is EPL and which is not.
You can check the program schedule To see if EPL is available or nor.

08/05/2016
23:00 2015/2016英格兰足球超级联赛-第37轮（曼彻斯特城—阿森纳）

This one not EPL live?

Taikor, I remember I told you to get addicted 2 years ago, but you said you can't kick your Astro away. So now apa lagi, boleh potong liao.
But be warned, Once you get used to on demand TV, ie. watch the preferred content at your preferred timing, you will find it hard to go back to scheduled TV like Astro liao.

I think Kodi is more on English contents, if Chinese/Korea/HK contents is the reason for you to keep the Astro, try side load cloudTV in your Minix.

Two news about Puchong:

1) Heard from Tesco Puchong CS that the management is in the midst of discussion to implement countermeasure for the parking problem caused by the opening of new LRT station.

2) Is it the end of road for Metrobus?
