I don't know why Malaysians are so fixated about MRT. Is it going to result in Economic Growth for the country? Emphasis should be placed on Education, infrastructure to facilitate tourism and exports. How is the kampung people going to enjoy MRT? 50 schools and 5 hospitals from 2 billion savings is better for economic growth. Imagine building more schools in East Malaysia. More local contractors can get jobs.
So far jibby's infrastructure plan only benefits Bangla by creating employment for them, free intercity buses. Bodoh kepala bapok.
i have only ridden in MRT only once, since i ride kapchai mostly.
however i think that MRT, although underutilised now, is a very good alternative for people who dont have car/bikes on their own.
Stations are spacious, generally clean, train is long and should be able to acommodate lotsa passengers compared to overcrowded LRTs. Those who lives in Kajang & sg Buloh can commute down to city centre KL escaping the jam. If i live in either Kajang/Sg Buloh and work in KL, i dont mind alternating between riding and taking mrt to work.
songlap aside, i would have to say this this is the only good thing najib has done for Klang Valley ppl during his tenure as PM.
