Kulim to have LRT system and airport by 2020

ALOR STAR: Kulim is poised to be a Smart City by 2020 complete with a Light Rail Transit (LRT) system and a regional airport.

The proposals for such mega projects are included in the Kulim Local Plan draft dubbed Kulim 2020, drawn up by the Town and Country Planning Department.

The proposed LRT system from Bertam in North Seberang Prai to Kulim Hi-Tech Park in Kedah through Padang Serai will complement the development of Penang's integrated transport network, said development planning unit 1 project manager Mohd Sharif Che Din.

A regional airport for light and medium aircraft has been proposed in Padang Meha, he said.

“The proposed airport will not create air traffic conflict because it is located 50km away from the Penang International Airport in Bayan Lepas and 100km away from the Sultan Abdul Halim Airport in Alor Star.

“It will cater for private jets, community airline services such as Malaysia Airlines' FireFly and medium-sized cargo planes,” he said.

Other proposed mega projects to boost development in Kulim include the Central Spine Highway, South Kedah Highway (LEKAS), a spacious 112.22ha container depot in Padang Meha and an extended railway system linking Penang to Kulim.

The Central Spine Highway is part of the Kedah Structure Plan to construct an alternative central highway stretching from Jitra in the north to Bandar Baru in the south.

LEKAS will link the eastern part of Kulim to Selama in Perak through Mahang and Baling.

Airport in Kulim? That's too close to Penang and AS airport already...

skyscraperboy · June 22nd, 2007, 08:50 AM

Boleh caye ke? AS Airport just been upgraded right?? So, why we need another airport at Kulim?

Arkdriver · June 22nd, 2007, 08:53 AM

every city has their own masterplan but only a few managed to get it out of drawing board and build them.

I also saw a copy of Alor Star masterplan which includes LRT and airport expansion.

I doubt if they will ever build it in 20 years. Some say be positive, but i'd rather be realistic.

White_soX · June 22nd, 2007, 09:28 AM

Of course the people want what best for their city!

khoojyh · June 22nd, 2007, 09:46 AM

forrestcat · June 22nd, 2007, 11:39 AM

If it's privately funded..let them build it.

Yea! I'm totally agree with you. SP and AS has a lot more peoples than Kulim and the number keep increasing rapidly. Why they just want to build it only at Kulim and Bertam???

About the airport, enormous deforestation will happen!

forrestcat · June 22nd, 2007, 01:55 PM

Small cities need LRT for what, have proper bus service enuffla.

Will the population in these areas be that big in 2020 to require LRT?

OshHisham · June 22nd, 2007, 03:19 PM
