Wish I could really comment - still not even sure if the line is going through Bangsar or not - but probably not as the line has been written out of Bangsar in the KL City Local Plan.

Personally, I do not mind having 3 separate threads for the 3 proposed MRT lines - but perhaps it would be good to wait for the public display before we start to confirm stations.

Cheers, m

Well, hopefully someone will create the 2 other threads on this section once the MRT alignment is officially designed and approved. Announcement in April, I heard.

Yea......Allurban is right.

Same with you also on this one, build it in the middle or to the side of Jalan Cheras, nobody will complaint. Then no need to go all the way to the packed Tasek Selatan station. Even better if they build spur line from connaught or leisure mall to tasek selatan.

Hopefully will rejuvenate Plaza Phoenix as well. The place has been dead for too long, time to rise again.

Is there really a need for this thread when we already have a general thread for MRT?

Well, we can't expect to have about 3 MRT Lines in 1 thread. When constructions start, we cannot also figure if this is for this or that line and that is the purpose for this new thread. Don't worry, this thread is only about this line so feel free to comment.

January construction contracts an indicator of increasing job flow


KUCHING: The summary of total contract awarded in the construction sector in January 2011 propelled analysts to anticipate increasing jobs flow going forward as the government continued to step up the implementation of key infrastructure projects.



UPCOMING TENDERS: Ching notes that tenders for the 60 kilometre Sungai Buloh-Kajang mass rapid transit (MRT) line is expected to be called in April and awarded in May this year.

According to head analyst Bernard Ching from ECM Libra Capital Sdn Bhd (ECM Libra), awarded contracts which amounted to RM3.2 billion was largely attributed to projects by Suria Capital Holdings and a consortium which included Muhibbah Engineering (M) Bhd.

Meanwhile, tenders for the 60 kilometre Sungai Buloh-Kajang mass rapid transit (MRT) line was expected to be called in April and awarded in May this year.

“According to the Land Public Transport Commission, the public would be able to view the entire MRT network when the urban rail development master-plan is released in March. An online news portal has reported that there could even be a fourth or fifth line,” Ching said.

In other news, Malaysia Steel Works (KL) Bhd and KUB Malaysia Bhd would enter into a 60:40 joint venture agreement to build and operate a 106.5km intercity rail transit system in Iskandar Malaysia with a connection to the MRT line from Singapore. The proposed rail transit system would cost about RM1.35 billion, Ching revealed, to be undertaken on a ‘build-transfer’ and ‘own-operate’ model.

“The project will be undertaken in three phases to be completed over 24 months, followed by a 25 year concession period. Pending discussions with various authorities, the project is expected to commence no later than the third quarter of this year,” noted the head analyst.

Ching also reported that a joint venture company formed by Ekovest and Malaysian Resources Corporation Bhd (MRCB) was poised to receive a letter of award from the government for a portion the Klang Valley river beautification project that could potentially be worth some RM8 billion.

“A source said the job would pertain to the Wilayah Persekutuan side of the Klang River. The river itself spans 120km, with 40km under the purview of the federal government and the remaining 80km under the Selangor government,” he stressed.

Based on all these, ECM Libra sustained its overweight call on the sector, highlighting Gamuda Bhd as it was a likely beneficiary of the RM14 billion tunnelling portion from the MRT project.

“Sunway Holdings Bhd is also our top pick due to its undemanding valuations and synergies from the proposed merger with Sunway City,” Ching concluded.

I am fine with 3 threads for 3 lines. There would be lots of discussion, pictures and article postings (God-forbids by-you-know-who).

So yea keep em coming. At least not too messy.

[dengilo]

But somehow i think that the tasik selatan terminal should be one of the stations on this line on its way to kajang or is it not practical?

Bukhrin > Yea....a spur line from Leisure Mall to BTS would be good. This line should formed a loop that goes into Alam Damai and all the neighbourhood inside. If the cost is prohibitive, perhaps a monorail?

Dengilo > to realigned the track to BTS and then to Kajang is kinda impractical as it is not passing thru the higher density areas in Cheras. Perhaps the Seri Kembangan line could do that.
