PROJEK Penang Sentral bernilai kira-kira RM2 bilion di Butterworth yang bakal menjadi hab pengangkutan dan logistik bagi Wilayah Ekonomi Koridor Utara (NCER) akan dimulakan tahun ini, kata Ketua Eksekutif Malaysian Resources Corporation Bhd (MRCB) Shahril Ridza Ridzuan.

“Kami sudah selesai berbincang dengan kerajaan negeri Pulau Pinang yang mana semua perkhidmatan bas sudah dipindahkan ke terminal sementara yang kami siapkan termasuk penjaja sekitarnya.

“Tapak untuk pembinaan sudah dikosongkan dan sedang menunggu pemilik tanah, iaitu kerajaan negeri Pulau Pinang dan Kerajaan Persekutuan, menyerahkannya kepada kami bagi membolehkan kerja pembinaan dimulakan,” katanya pada sidang selepas majlis memeterai perjanjian bagi pembangunan projek 348 Sentral di KL Sentral antara MRCB dan GSB Sentral Sdn Bhd di Kuala Lumpur, semalam.

Projek Penang Sentral dibangunkan Penang Sentral Sdn Bhd, syarikat usaha sama antara MRCB yang menguasai 49 peratus kepentingan, manakala baki oleh Pelaburan Hartanah Bumiputera Bhd.

Fasa pertama projek itu termasuk pembinaan terminal bas dan teksi serta kedai peruncitan dijadualkan siap pada 2011.

Terminal yang boleh menempatkan 28 platform bas dan 46 ruang teksi yang direka untuk mengendalikan 4,500 penumpang sehari itu akan dikendalikan oleh Semasa Sentral Sdn Bhd, anak syarikat MRCB yang juga pengendali stesen KL Sentral, manakala fasa berikutnya membabitkan pembangunan berasaskan komersial.

MRCB ready to start work on Penang Sentral

BUTTERWORTH: Malaysian Resources Corporation Bhd (MRCB), developer of the RM2 billion Penang Sentral Integrated Transport Hub in Butterworth, is awaiting Federal Government allocation to start work on the transport terminal, Executive Director Datuk Ahmad Zaki Zahid said today.

He said MRCB proposed to start construction work next year after land acquisition negotiations are finalised soon.

Construction of the transportation and logistics hub needed funding from the Federal Government as it was a public utility project while MRCB and few other investors would jointly develop the commercial area at the hub, he told reporters after attending the company's corporate social responsibility programme.

Ahmad Zaki said the project was delayed as land acquisition negotiations took time to settle and at the same time financial allocation has not been received.

"We are working on the project now and hope to get it off the ground next year as land acquisition talks are on track," he said.

Ahmad Zaki said his visit to the bus terminal temporary site at Penang Sentral today showed the terminal is being managed well.

"I am satisfied with safety aspects, infrastructure facilities including the trading area for hawkers and petty traders.

"So far, no complaints have been received from the terminal users," he said.

The RM5 million temporary terminal was built adjacent to the proposed site for the Penang Sentral transport and commercial hub to shift express bus and stage bus operations to a proper place to facilitate site preparation and clearance work for the hub.

It was reported earlier that work to build the Penang Sentral transport hub would begin in the first quarter of this year and would be completed in 2011.

The commercial arena was slated for completion in 2015.

The integrated complex, to be jointly developed with Pelaburan Hartanah Bumiputra Bhd, will be the focal point for ferry, bus, taxi and train services.

MRCB tunggu peruntukan persekutuan untuk mulakan pembinaan terminal
Khamis, 05 November 2009 |

BUTTERWORTH: Malaysian Resources Corporation Bhd (MRCB), pemaju projek hab pengangkutan bersepadu dan komersil Penang Sentral di Butterworth, sedang menunggu peruntukan dari kerajaan persekutuan untuk memulakan pembinaan terminal pengangkutan itu.

Pengarah Eksekutifnya, Datuk Ahmad Zaki Zahid, berkata MRCB merancang untuk memulakan pembinaan terminal itu tahun depan dan berharap proses rundingan mengenai pengambilan tanah di kawasan terbabit selesai secepat mungkin.

Mengikut perancangan pembinaan, katanya, terminal itu memerlukan peruntukan dari kerajaan persekutuan kerana ia membabitkan utiliti awam manakala MRCB dan beberapa pelabur lain akan memajukan ruang komersil di hab pengangkutan itu.


Mengulas selepas menghadiri program tanggung jawab sosial korporat (CSR) MRCB di sini, beliau berkata, pembinaan projek itu agak lewat dimulakan berikutan proses rundingan tanah mengambil masa untuk diselesaikan dan pada masa yang sama peruntukan belum diperolehi.

"Kita sedang menguruskan perkara itu dan berharap ia dapat dimulakan tahun depan. Setakat ini, proses rundingan mengenai tanah menampakkan kemajuan," katanya.

Ahmad Zaki berkata, lawatannya ke kawasan terminal sementara bas di tapak Penang Sentral itu hari ini mendapati ia beroperasi dan diuruskan dengan baik.

"Saya berpuas hati dengan keadaan keselamatan serta kemudahan dan prasarana yang disediakan di terminal sementara itu termasuk kemudahan ruang penjajanya. Setakat ini tiada aduan diterima daripada pengguna terminal berkenaan," katanya.

Terminal bas sementara itu, yang dianggarkan bernilai RM5 juta, dibina di kawasan berhampiran bagi memindahkan operasi bas ekspres dan bas biasa ke tempat yang lebih teratur supaya kerja-kerja pembersihan dan penyediaan tapak dapat dilakukan untuk memulakan pembinaan Penang Sentral.

Sebelum itu, dilaporkan bahawa kerja pembinaan hab pengangkutan Penang Sentral dijadualkan bermula pada suku pertama 2009 dan dijangka siap pada 2011 manakala keseluruhan pembangunan komersil kawasan itu akan siap pada 2015.

Kompleks bersepadu itu, yang dimajukan bersama dengan Pelaburan Hartanah Bumiputra Bhd, akan menjadi pusat untuk pengangkutan feri, bas dan teksi serta kereta api.

Terdahulu, seramai 300 murid di tiga sekolah angkat MRCB iaitu SK Dato Kramat, SK Kampung Jawa dan SK Bagan Jermal menerima bantuan persekolahan berupa beg, pakaian dan kasut sekolah untuk tahun depan pada program CSR itu.

Ketiga-tiga sekolah itu dipilih oleh MRCB melalui program PINTAR dan masing-masing menerima pelbagai bantuan dalam bentuk kelengkapan sekolah, kelas tambahan, program motivasi pelajar dan ibu bapa serta kursus menjawab soalan Ujian Penilaian Sekolah Rendah (UPSR) bernilai RM60,000 setiap satu. - Bernama

BUTTERWORTH, Nov 5 (Bernama) -- Malaysian Resources Corporation Bhd (MRCB) developer of the RM2 billion Penang Sentral Integrated Transport Hub in Butterworth, is awaiting Federal Government allocation to start work on the transport terminal, Executive Director Datuk Ahmad Zaki Zahid said Thursday.

Earlier, three hundred pupils from three MRCB "adopted schools" -- SK Dato Kramat, SK Kampung Jawa and SK Bagan Jermal -- received schooling aid in the form of schoolbags, school uniform and shoes for the new school term next year under the company's corporate social responsibility programme.

The schools, picked by MRCB under the PINTAR programme, will receive assistance worth RM60,000 in the form of school apparatus, extra classes, motivation programmes for students and parents and courses on techniques to answer UPSR questions.

Construction of Penang Sentral to start next year


CONSTRUCTION work on the RM2bil Penang Sentral project in Butterworth is expected to kick off next year.

Malaysian Resources Corp Bhd (MRCB) executive director Datuk Zaki Zahid said land acquisition, which was progressing smoothly, would take some time to be completed.

He said MRCB and Pelaburan Hartanah Bumiputera Berhad (PHBB) were discussing matters with the land stakeholders which included the state and Federal Governments and also Penang Port Sdn Bhd.

“The project will kick off with the construction of an integrated transport terminal,” he said.

“We are in discussion with the Transport Ministry and the Economic Planning Unit through the Northern Corridor Authority to obtain the funds,” he told reporters after presenting uniforms, bags and school items to 300 students from three schools in Penang.

He added that the three schools were adopted by MRCB under the Pintar programme.

He said the first phase of the Penang Sentral project costing RM300mil involving the building of bus and taxi terminals along with retail outlets was expected to be completed by 2011.

The subsequent phases of the projects will be developed by MRCB and other investors, with the whole project expected to be completed by 2015.
