Correct. Haiz...what a waste. MRT 3 is the last piece of the jigsaw puzzle, so to speak. It will increase connectivity exponentially which will have many spillover benefits. Increased mobility means more business for retails, motels, tourist spending, reduced congestion/improved productivity, improved image as 1st class city, increased property/land value, wealth effects, increased assessment, quit rent income etc. Many not so clear benefits that cannot be measured by ticket sales alone...

Both for and against sides also like got their points. Aiyo, very susah lah. Build also good, dun build first also got good reasons because government in heavy debt. Whatever decision - hard to say right or wrong. I prefer MRT 3 to be built as it is the final piece to complete jig saw puzzle. HSR can wait. But if MRT 3 really scrapped... also have to live with it.. what to do.. too many cooks spoil the soup...that's why too democratic also a country cannnot move..

Definitely faster lor. The Eurostar London - Paris, reach 45 min before, pass 2 immigration in one line, 2 hours later, reach Paris.. straight walk off with luggage... super fast... I like HSR

Actually, I am very surprised got so many people object to MRT. I think Malaysia is the only country that protests building of roads and MRTs. MRT bring convenience right? Gives an option right? If u like to drive, then dun use. Let others have a choice to use. Reduce congestion. Only when the national debt is used indiscriminately like building white elephants, then u must be wary of national debt. MRT is useful infra. It is not a waste. We will reap long term benefits way beyond ticket sales or cost of building.

I thought just a few years ago, people always complain so many cars causing bad congestion? At that time, keep saying government did not improve public transportation. Now?

This is called 人云亦云.

Slightly longer than Kul - Sin only but under sea tunnel. Damn canggih! But inside train cannot feel la... lol

I am also not ok with inflated price. Then, no need to cancel. Just redo by open tender.

Ya, it's amazing the turn of events in May 2018. 9th May election..1st June, GST scrapped! Now, that's efficiency!..but whether GST should maintain or not is another story..

Do you know just quoting figures like that is meaningless? Is 33k debt per capita a lot? What if I tell you Singapore debt per capita is triple that? What if I tell you that actually their assets per capita more than debt per capita and so they are ok? You must look at the whole picture lah. I have to admit Malaysia is in net debt position and is spending a lot on interest payments. That is why I also think GST should not have been scrapped. Then plug the holes, cut expenditure, total reform on cronyism etc but does not mean useful infra spending need to be cut totally. All these things can implement concurrently. If all mega project stop, the economy is going to grind to a halt eventually. The construction/infra industry needs project to survive also.

Aiyo...I talked long long but u dun get what I mean...

Is 33k debt per capita a lot? If I tell you, person A personal debt is RM500k. Is it a lot? What about RM10mil debt? Is it a lot? If a person has 500k debt but no assets, then it is a lot. If debt is RM10mil but assets RM20mil, ok what? Anyway, not saying Malaysia got lots of assets lah...but hopefully u know what I mean...

Like EU die lo. Migrants/refugees entering any of the countries free to roam around.

Lol. No way kiasuland will allow! Already they complain too many Indian nationals there...plus what they call tiongs

On the other hand, those that support cancellation also might have selfish intentions

- they bought properties along MRT 1 or 2 and now hopes MRT 3 is scrapped so they hope their props are more scarce

- they do not stay in KV and so MRTs do not benefit them at all

- those still waiting to buy properties or have sold and now hope property market will stay down aka property overhang

I am fine either way, though I prefer MRT 3 to be built just because I want KV to be more canggih...

Oh well, another rambling ...

From where to where take 2 hours?

Can breakdown the journey ? How u take?

Oh, take KTM to Sentral , walk to Muzium station to take MRT 1 to BU.. I see

Your great experience referring to MRT 1 Museum station to KL Sentral walk way? What leakage?

Oh ok. What leakage?

Oh...probably should do some major hacking find the leakage source...

As said earlier, opening of MRT 2 should add considerable connectivity to our current system even though it is not a circle line... hopefully ridership goes up ... KV towards global city ..ke ke.. and repair leakage ..😬
