Bravo! So where exactly is the central part of the city when there are multiple "sentrals" -- way to go PM Najib for coming up with such creative name! Sentral is no longer special... Times Square is no longer unique... the word "icon" is no longer referring to something iconic... These names/words have been over-abused by Malaysians!!! :bash: :ohno: :lol:

Another Sentral :colgate:


if sentral was a vagina, it'd be as used as a whore's

I proposed these names:

1. 1Pudu (One Pudu) :lol:
2. Pudu Perdana
3. Pudu Putra
4. Suria Pudu
5. Pudu Mega Bus Stop
6. Hentian Pudu
7. Pudu Transit
8. Stesen Pudu
9. Pudu Jaya
10. Medan Pudu
11. PIBT (Pudu Integrated Bus Terminal)
12. Pudu Plaza
13. Pudu Boleh
14. Pudu City

Malaysian Dictionary should come out with new vocabulary la...
Sentral means (Express Bus/Train) Station...:lol:

According to Kamus Dewan Edisi 2 dan 4 published by Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka, the word 'Sentral' means 'di tengah-tengah atau pusat'. So 'Pudu Sentral' means 'di tengah-tengah kawasan Pudu. :lol: Yep I agree it should adds a new vocabulary for 'Sentral' with another meaning.
So in Malaysia we can say ;
1- Perhentian Bas for Bus Stop
2- Stesen Bas for Bus Station
3- Sentral for Integrated Bus/Coach or Train/LRT with feeder buses. e.g KL Sentral, JB Sentral, Melaka Sentral, Pudu Sentral :naughty:
4- Terminal Pengangkutan Bersepadu (TPB) for Integrated Transport Terminal which integrated all forms of public transports (bus,train, LRT etc). e.g TPB Bandar Tasik Selatan

if sentral was a vagina, it'd be as used as a whore's

:lol:Puduraya was one of the very few names that i thought was original enough,NOOOOOO not to najib and gang just because u spend that much doesnt mean u have to change the Fu_____g name too!:ohno:What next?Chow Kit Sentral,Batang Benar Sentral or perhaps Batang Berjuntai Sentral!U never in bolehland anything possible:lol:

While infrastructure in Malaysia is booming throughout country as well as property projek, 'Sentral' word is coming normal with Malaysian infrastructures for transport sector from nowaday so dun get wrong laaa with 'Sentral' thingy...baik complain yg lain jelah :lol:

WITH Hari Raya just a few days away, the bus terminals are not crowded as it should be as people are opting for other modes of transport and buying their tickets much earlier.

A check at the Putra Bus Terminal, Puduraya Bus Terminal and Terminal Bersepadu Selatan revealed that the scene appeared to be calm and organised as people were not seen to be rushing to get their tickets.

At the Putra Bus Terminal in Jalan Putra, people were seen waiting for buses heading for Terengganu, Kelantan and other areas in the east coast.

totally annoyed and this "SENTRAL" thingy. overly used. should just retain the old name...what a waste of time.

Guys.. how about Bukit Bintang Sentral?? :nuts:

Let's rename all stations with the word "Sentral". Yahhoooo.

The name puduraya already fine to me....change the name just because someone told him to do....WOW... that person must be his die hard fan or maybe he just want to show he listen to the people (which is one person ONLY)...this is ridiculous. :bash:

BigPudu Central ?

Yep, I agree with Nazrey. :nocrook: Hopefully the name 'sentral' won't distract 'rakyat' to look at the bigger picture of the facilities that have been provided and to suggest to improve it further.Hopefully the renovation of Pudu Sentral and new Bandar Tasik Selatan Integrated Transport Terminal (BTSIT) or Terminal Bersepadu Selatan (TBS) have eased crowd chaos mostly during raya, cuti sekolah or any festive seasons.

Defo our new facilities at Pudu Sentral and BTSIT are better compared to the age Victoria Coach Station, the main inter-cities bus station in London or the mammoth Büyük Otogar, Istanbul Main Bus Terminal. The both bus terminals are really 'Sentral' and integrated as the only main bus terminal for the both cities for seamless connection, not just inter-cities within the country but also other cities in Europe. Both main terminals cater more numbers of buses, destinations and passengers than us, and also easy access with other public transports.

How I wish we have a truly Sentral that integrated all connection for the cities in Malaysia and also neighbouring countries (Singapore) under one roof, rather than few Sentrals than divided to different regions.

Wow if we have that we wouldn't be calling Pudu Sentral already.

We will call them "1Pudu City Centre" aka Bandar 1Pudu. :lol::lol:

We will call them "1Pudu City Centre" aka Bandar 1Pudu. :lol::lol:

Pudu Sentral aka PuduRaya supposed to cater inner city buses only and not inter-cities. How I wish Terminal Bersepadu Selatan (TBS) is build in larger scale to centralize all bus connections for all major cities in Malaysia (and also Singapore) except Sabah and Sarawak, of course. It can be like the biggest bus station in Asia and can be named as 1Malaysia Bus Terminal :lol:

Cannot mah because someone else have brilliant adea of developing the surrounding area,:bash:
i agree i think its a missed opportunity but then again i have never seen a transportation hub where all the differnt rail services outside the main building:ohno:

I so fell off my chair when he made this announcement! I was saying in my mind: please not another "Sentral" or "1". so creative!

however i have to say it is a good job on the renovation though

Maybe the Twitter fan was being sarcastic ? Adoi larrr

Why????? There's nothing wrong with the name Puduraya. Who is the smart person in Twitter to change it, I must find he/she who propose this.

Next the another places with sentral:

1. Mid Valley Sentral
2. One Utama Sentral
3. Merdeka Sentral (Warisan Merdeka)
4. Pavillion Sentral

aiyohh..what's the big idea with the name?
people in malaysia don't even care about this bickering.

trust me..most of malaysians barely concern about the name too seriously like what we do in this forum.

on the other hand,branding or rebranding something with the number "1" is totally OUT,lame and boring.thanks great lord he didn't rename pudu raya with 1sentral or anything with 1 in front of it.if he does, i'm gonna screammm...arrggghhhhh~

Malaysian Dictionary should come out with new vocabulary la...
Sentral means (Express Bus/Train) Station...:lol:but it doesn't - consider Plaza Sentral, M-Sentral, USJ Sentral, and others - those are just commercial developments, not public transport hubs.

I guess every decade needs its "go to" name to make developments feel "special" (or should I say "spesial" instead?)


'Damansara' (roughly 1990-2000 - Damansara Jaya, Damansara Uptown, Mutiara Damansara, Flora Damansara, Damansara Perdana, Sunway Damansara, Kota Damansara);
'Sentral' (roughly 2000-2010 - KL Sentral, Melaka Sentral, Putrajaya Sentral, Kuching Sentral, USJ Sentral, JB Sentral, Ipoh Sentral, Penang Sentral, now Pudu Sentral)


I suppose the "1"-prefix is just the thing for this decade - started with 1Utama, but then multiplied with 1 Borneo, then 1Malaysia turned it into something else.

Cheers, m

Personally, I'd be more impressed if he had announced that the terminal now had a real website, hotline phone number and presence on facebook & twitter - as well as #SPAD enforcement team.

Apparently Titiwangsa Sentral condos are the best buy today due to the upcoming massive development called M Sentral. :lol:

There's also Klang Sentral, Kepong Sentral and PJ Sentral Garden City.

Puduraya jadi Pudu Sentral

NAJIB berbual dengan pelancong asing ketika lawatan
beliau ke Pudu Sentral, Kuala Lumpur semalam.

KUALA LUMPUR - Hentian Puduraya di sini yang mula beroperasi pada 1976 dan baru sahaja dinaik taraf, kini dikenali sebagai Pudu Sentral.

Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak ketika mengumumkan nama baru terminal bas itu semalam berkata, penukaran nama itu selaras dengan wajahnya yang moden dan baru, setaraf dengan sebuah lapangan terbang.

Beliau berkata keputusan itu dibuat berikutan cadangan seorang pengikut twitternya selepas beliau tweet setelah bersahur awal semalam bahawa beliau akan melawat Hentian Puduraya.

"Ramai yang memberi maklum balas dan saya terima cadangan supaya nama hentian bas ini ditukar supaya mencerminkan terminal yang tinggi kualitinya," katanya kepada pemberita selepas merasmikan wajah baru bas terminal itu di sini semalam.

Menurutnya, selepas berbincang dengan pihak pengurusan hentian itu, beliau telah bersetuju untuk menukar namanya kepada Pudu Sentral.

Hentian Puduraya ditutup sementara pada Mac tahun lepas, setahun selepas kerajaan mendapati terminal itu perlu sangat dinaik taraf dan diubahsuai untuk memperbaiki perkhidmatan dan mengambil kira keselamatan awam setelah ia beroperasi lebih tiga dekad.

Kemudahan itu kini dilengkapi dengan pendingin hawa, kemudahan eskalator dan sistem pengumuman awam untuk mengumumkan ketibaan dan pelepasan bas dan disediakan dengan 296 kamera litar tertutup (CCTV).

CCTV dipasang di semua tempat strategik yang dipantau oleh 48 kakitangan keselamatan untuk memastikan keselamatan dan keselesaan pelawat dan penumpang.

Najib turut meluangkan masa melawat sekitar terminal baru tersebut dan berinteraksi dengan para pengguna serta memberikan sumbangan kuih raya kepada penumpang bas ekspres yang pulang ke kampung sempena Aidilfitri.

Ini merupakan lawatan ketiganya ke terminal bas tersebut sejak menjadi Perdana Menteri pada 3 April 2009, di mana tiga minggu selepas itu Najib turun padang melawat tiga kawasan di tengah-tengah bandar raya, termasuk Hentian Puduraya.

Berikutan dengan lawatan itu beliau mengarahkan supaya Hentian Puduraya dinaik taraf dengan segera, memandangkan keadaan bangunannya yang daif serta tidak memberi keselesaan sama sekali kepada para pengguna.

Kerja-kerja menaik taraf itu dijalankan oleh UDA Holdings Berhad dalam dua fasa dengan kos RM52 juta.

Sementara itu tinjauan Bernama di terminal bas tersebut turut mendapati pengguna sangat berpuas hati dengan kemudahan yang disediakan.

Seorang warga emas, K.P Lim, 66, berkata, persekitaran di Pudu Sentral sekarang sangat berbeza berbanding dahulu memandangkan ia kini dilengkapi dengan pendingin hawa dan tidak bising.

"Dahulu (Puduraya) sangat panas, sangat bising. Orang tua seperti saya sangat tidak selesa keadaan seperti itu. Saya sangat berpuas hati dengan penambahbaikan kemudahan di sini. Memang sangat berbeza kalau dibandingkan dengan yang dulu," katanya.

Bagi Maimunah Ahmad Pardi, 55, persekitaran Pudu Sentral yang bersih dan nyaman membolehkan orang ramai menunggu bas dalam keadaan yang selesa walaupun penumpang terpaksa menunggu lama.

Ok, lets say this:

Sentral: roughly 2000-unknown. Revival experienced after 2011 as demand for the "1" prefix decreased due to public & corporate disinterest.

Sabah or should i say Kota Kinabalu is really fond of the "1"

1Borneo, One Place Mall, 1Sulaman, 1Likas, One Jesselton etc...

why the sentrall lahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh?? terencat akal pemimpin2 hari ni...semua nak sentralllllll...

Sabah or should i say Kota Kinabalu is really fond of the "1"

1Borneo, One Place Mall, 1Sulaman, 1Likas, One Jesselton etc...

^^As a Sabahan myself also tiring to hear that "One" or "1" thingy...they are just too idiot to "apple polish" those politicians....another group of people without creativity!!:ohno: Sandakan soon also will have "One Avenue" :bash:

Sabah or should i say Kota Kinabalu is really fond of the "1"

1Borneo, One Place Mall, 1Sulaman, 1Likas, One Jesselton etc...OK, I give up. Let's rename the upcoming project at Pusat Bandar Damansara as 1Damansara Sentral. And of course the MRT station should be named Damansara Sentral as well. :banana: And how many people want to bet that Bukit Bintang Central somehow ends up as Bukit Bintang Sentral when the signage is put up?

No, I think I will find a "new" name that will replace Sentral, Damansara and 1.

wish me luck

Cheers, m

Really shame they changed the name. Puduraya is far better than Pudu sentral:ohno:

then lagu raya jalil hamid kene tukarlah.. no more hentian bas ibukota itulah puduraya di tgh bandaraya.

i think the signage of ampang lrt line for plaza rakyat station should be rename pudu sentral.....less confusion for outsiders...

so many people get confused and disembark from train at pudu station instead of plaza rakyat station to catch intercity busses at puduraya....

:lol:NO need just add Plaza Rakyat Diutamakan@Sentral of the Universe.

Haiz......why our gomen has this habit of renaming everything to Sentral. The Puduraya name itself IMHO is a Malaysian heritage. Remember when they renamed the place called Batang Berjuntai to something like Bestari Jaya. By renaming Puduraya, they are akin to demolishing a heritage building. Somemore, renaming it to an uninspiring name such as Pudu Sentral! Just wondering when will our beloved Kuala Lumpur will be renamed to Kuala Sentral.....

y not we make petition to object new name as it demolished heritage. remember that Victoria Institution got back their former name after a couple of years using SMK Victoria name?

I think that is more because of their alumni rather than public interest ...

i know... but it means, things can be change.:banana:

Victoria Institution is another story as the government tried to erase everything related to the colonial legacy such as name of the towns, streets, buildings. The decolonisation process started since Malaysia got independence and rigorously when Tun Mahathir took into power in 1981 in his campaign 'Buy British Last' to detach Malaysia from British colonial. Some of the names totally changed to be more Malaysian sounds as example Wellesley Province to Seberang Perai, Victoria to Bandar Labuan, Jesselton to Kota Kinabalu and some just simply translated to Malay language as example Church Street in Penang to Lebuh Gereja, Old Market Square in KL to Medan Pasar Besar and many more. However some places like Georgetown, Butterworth, Cameron Highland etc still remained unchanged. Some street names already existed in Malay name and never changed by British during colonial time as example Jalan Pudu, Imbi, Sentul etc.

Nevertheless in this case its a norm as it also happened to other countries where renaming of places, cities, streets etc by the authorities for legacy purposes such as in England names origin from Gaelic, Norman (French), etc changed to Anglo-Saxon sounds but some remained unchanged and sound like foreign language. In Kelantan, after PAS took power, some places also changed their names as example Kampung Beruk (Monkey Village) to Kampung Jambu (Guava Village) due to all the times the villagers get insulted by the name, and Pantai Cinta Berahi (Beach of Passionate Love) to Pantai Cahaya Bulan (Beach of Moon Lighting) due to its vulgar sound. :lol:

Puduraya is renamed to Pudu Sentral for me not considered as violated to national heritage as the building itself not a national heritage and the name given by the same government (BN) when its built. However it just such a lame to simply change the name due to renovation and upgrading. :ohno:

Ok, lets forget about the name. The most important is the facilities that has been provided and to push the government to sort out the big eyesore of KL, Plaza Rakyat! :nuts:

The people sitting in the dumb seat of Kementerian Pengangkutan and Jabatan Perdana Menteri (i mean, the menteris) were badly advised by various ass lickers in DBKL or any jabatan kerajaan which comes to this renaming of Puduraya into something stupid like Pudu Sentral. Can't they make out their mind, please name a place according to their geographical position. We must have a petition.

Kadang depa ni dah memang takda keja lain nk buat. The same case happened to Alor Setar. Changed to Alor Star then revert back to Alor Setar, involved probably millions (not too sure) in renaming signboards by all parties (PLUS highway, JKR, local authorities).

I think this different aspect as every nation or language has different spelling and pronounce for naming of the places. As example Malaysia, is pronounced as Malizia by Arabs, Malezya by Turkish, Malaisie by French, Malezija by Bosanski (Bosnia), Maleisië by Dutch (Holland), Malasia by Spanish and Portuguese, Malesia by Italian, Malasya by Tagalog (Philippines) and so on. Even Singapore also English version of Singapura, and Mecca English version of Makkah (and many Muslim scholars also banned naming as Mecca due to misled meaning in English as even Casino here in the UK named as Mecca). We also called USA as Amerika Syarikat, Holland as Belanda, France as Peranchis..:) :cheers:

Iconic Pudu gets new name and new look
Monday September 12, 2011
http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2011/9/12/nation/9444308&sec=nation

KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, together with the help of the Malaysian citizens online, has decided on a new name for the refurbished iconic Puduraya bus terminal.

Najib said during a walkabout at the 35-year old facility on 27th August that the decision to rebrand the bus terminal as Pudu Sentral was to reflect its new and modern image.

The Prime Minister said the renovation and redesign of the bus terminal resulted in an airport-like facility that all Malaysians can be proud of.

Najib had garnered public feedback and personally directed for improvements to be made for a more comfortable experience for the commuters.

The terminal has walkalators, a bubble lift, fully air-conditioned waiting area and closed-circuit TV cameras for security.

Commuters gave their approval for the upgraded landmark which also included improved services.

Pudu Sentral's upgrade is an initiative under the GTP's Urban Public Transport NKRA to provide an improved commuting experience to the public.

Ya lah orang pandai pandai decide to spend millions then max under utilized.When they decided to upgrade as if they dont know that Bandar Tasik Selatan MEGA terminal was coming online soon.

They should shut down Kotaraya and move it to pudu, it's disgraced that place still operating .
It feels like ghetto in the middle of the town . Just blow it up rebuild something nice over there , i'm sure a lot of developer would want that land .

what is the product differentiation between the newly renovated Pudu Sentral and other terminals?

if ITT-BTS is for southern routes, Putra (about to be shut down) is for Eastern, and ITT Gombak the future terminus for Eastern routes, what are Duta and Pudu Sentral for? What about Pasar Rakyat, 1Utama, etc etc?

In our basic belief, is it better to have a combined station, or stations scattering around all over the place?

In our basic belief, is it better to have a combined station, or stations scattering around all over the place?Once eastern buses are relocated to Gombak and northbound buses relocated to Sg. Buloh or Kota D'sara, Pudu Sentral will be a terminal for intra-urban buses (kL-Rawang, KL-Klang, KL-Putrajaya, KL-Seremban) and stage buses.

Why cant they have one main bus terminal and get rid of the other bus terminals? Its confusing to have so many terminals around the city. esp for tourists.

i wish a bus terminal in sg buloh area (for damansara/rawang/sg buloh/kepong residents) to cater outbound passengers to north/south or east coast .

no need to go into the city anymore.
avoid traffic jam and save time.

Why cant they have one main bus terminal and get rid of the other bus terminals? Its confusing to have so many terminals around the city. esp for tourists.because they had one since the 1970s (Puduraya) but traffic congestion and the number of bus companies (and buses) increased in the 1980s...

Also, KL has expanded further into Selangor, so development requires more public transport infrastructure to support the movement of people.

The important thing to do is ensure that all the terminals are connected to the railway network and connected by a dedicated shuttle bus service (following MRRII, it seems)
