Proposed Kelana Jaya-Subang Jaya LRT Extension Delayed Until 2013
Bad news for those looking forward to the earlier proposed LRT extension from Kelana Jaya to Subang Jaya. It has been postponed to at least 2013, which is 4 years from now. From what we have seen this isn’t the first time it has been postponed, the public has certainly been waiting many many years for this to materialize.
This story was carried by the Malay Mail and commented here.
According to the report,
It is learnt that Syarikat Prasarana Nasional Bhd (SBNB), the whollyowned government company (under Ministry of Finance Inc) set up to run key public transport companies, is facing difficulty sourcing the estimated RM5 billion for the 32km project.
The extensions to the existing Kelana Jaya-Gombak and Sri Petaling-Ampang lines were supposed to be ready by 2010, and were later delayed to 2011, the source said.
With the latest developments, the projected 700,000 daily commuters will have to wait till 2013 for the extended network to come on line.
Definitely bad news, especially those of us fed up with the traffic problems of Klang Valley…
Why you people listen to Najib & the BN govt. They are bull shitting you because of the general election. We must believe in Change and vote for Change.

Our Government is showing a damn bad example of not fulfilling their promises. In the GE they will promise the sky and the moon. Three and the half years is not a long way to go…………

Rakyat has lost confidence in Najib & Umno, that is why Umno had to do a coup to overthrow Perak. Najib & Umno know they dont stand a chance in elections. The rakyat is now anti-Umno
