Agreed. Concepts from HK / SG / East Asia cannot be applied here. Basically investors are banking on public transfort being improved over the next decade/few decades and becoming a strong selling point.

Even though people drive more - public transport can become a greater option as time goes on.

if for own stay, i definetly dont want find near lrt / mrt station bcos of the noise and crowd

Kerinchi station also quite sad. The mall that nestle it is literally dead.

First thing first, Malaysia not an island. We don't have limited land space like HK / SG. Not to mention that everyone now can afford a car. (Even fresh graduate). And our petrol are still quite cheap compared to these countries.

Because of these factors, most Malaysian opted to stay away from density and all the hoo-hah when the age is catching up to them.

When I was young, I rented house near Wangsa Maju LRT. It was the best. I can go KLCC / Bukit Bintang without worrying transport. Not until I have a family and I prefer to live in a less dense and more serene place.

The only benefits living near to MRT/LRT for me now is the convenience, where I can easily replaced with car nowadays. So the properties near MRT/LRT for me are better for rental. Especially those who yet to able to afford buying own properties and looking to just live near to their workplace (fresh graduate / expats)

Definitely not for own stay unless you accidently bought or have no other choices.

So for the TS, it worth more if you know how to "monetize" it. If you think buying property is a sure-win investment according to auntie uncle, then this is not a suitable investment for you

The problem with Klang Valley's rail is it is too KL-centric - nearly all lines meet in KL, hence the interchanges are mostly around KL too. There are many who stay at suburbs & satellite cities (PJ, SJ, etc) and work in KL, but at the same time, there are also many who stay in one satellite city (e.g Subang Jaya) but work in another satellite city (PJ, Kajang, Shah Alam, etc). Problem is, taking rail from one satellite city to another is too much of a hassle. Imagine someone staying in USJ and works in Bandar Utama takes the LRT from Taipan towards Pasar Seni, then change to MRT & travel to Bandar Utama when driving directly via the NKVE makes more sense in terms of time & distance?

What Klang Valley needs more are rail lines that interconnect suburbs & satellite cities - covering as far as Puncak Alam in the north, Klang in the West & Sepang in the South with multiple circular lines. MRT3 will be one such circle line but it is again, KL-centric. We probably need circle lines that crosses areas like Kota Damansara, Kelana Jaya, Subang Jaya, Kota Kemuning, Putrajaya, just to name a few.

bestest in syok sendiri.

TRX is not in CBD, not a Canary wharf either.
