RM50bil Public Transport Plan to Build Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) in Malaysia

It’s great to know that Gamuda Bhd and MMC Corp Bhd had presented a joint MRT proposal to the Government in January 2010. I know, we are still waiting for the existing LRT extension works to be started before we talk further about the MRT. However, just be optimistic. We are slow; but we are moving, at least.

Under the RM43bil MRT project, there will be two major routes from “Kepong to Cheras”, “Damansara to Serdang” and another important route that will connecting up all the networks and circling around the Kuala Lumpur City Centre.

Here are the estimated total project values for the future public transport plan in Malaysia:

  • RM7 billion – For Light Rail Transit (LRT) extension works
  • RM36 billion – For Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) system construction and design
  • RM2 billion – For MRT station and MRT line land acquisition
  • RM3 billion – For all the vehicles that move on a railway (rolling stock)
  • RM2 billion – For MRT underground commercial space development

This is a major breakthrough in connecting township, shorten travelling time. When it happens, property investors will have to restrategize the game plan, i.e. where to invest?
