IPOH: Beberapa syarikat sudah menunjukkan minat untuk membangunkan industri berteknologi tinggi, pusat kesihatan dan pendidikan di sekitar terminal bersepadu Ipoh Sentral di Meru Raya.

Menteri Besar, Datuk Seri Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin, berkata kerajaan negeri juga sudah menerima permohonan untuk mendirikan pasar raya besar berhampiran Ipoh Sentral.

Beliau berkata, pihaknya akan memilih dengan teliti jenis pembangunan yang akan dilakukan di Meru Raya kerana kawasan itu dikhususkan bagi industri berteknologi tinggi.


"Memang banyak pertanyaan dan sudah ada yang menghantar permohonan untuk membangunkan industri berteknologi tinggi, pusat kesihatan, pusat pendidikan dan pasar raya besar.

“Tetapi, kita mahu terminal bersepadu ini dibangunkan terlebih dulu untuk memberi keselesaan kepada penduduk, pengunjung dan pekerja di sini.

"Ipoh Sentral akan beroperasi dalam tempoh 30 bulan lagi," katanya kepada pemberita selepas Majlis Pecah Tanah Ipoh Sentral di sini, kelmarin.

Ipoh Sentral dengan kos RM38 juta di tapak seluas 3.3 hektar itu dibangunkan oleh Combined Bus Services Sdn Bhd (Combined Bus), iaitu gabungan 14 syarikat bas yang beroperasi di seluruh Perak.

Terminal bersepadu itu menyediakan 400 tempat letak kereta, 60 petak untuk bas dan 30 untuk teksi.

Sebanyak 15 syarikat bas ekspres juga sudah bersetuju untuk membuka kaunter tiket di Ipoh Sentral.

Mohammad Nizar berkata, Combined Bus akan menukar semua basnya dengan bas baru dan berhawa dingin untuk keselesaan penumpang.

In my opinion, yes, it has to be...

The reason is, normally when intercity trains heads to Butterworth, it will pass Bukit Mertajam...

So, if government electrifies the Ipoh-Butterworth section, but not the Butterworth-Padang Besar section....the spur from Bukit Mertajam to Butterworth will be electrified...probably those heading north, may not be electrified...

RM38m transportation hub to spur growth


THE RM38mil Ipoh Central Transportation Hub at Meru Raya near Ipoh will begin operation in two-and-a-half years’ time.

Perak Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin hoped the hub would be a catalyst for other development in the area.

“When the project was announced, the state was deluged with enquiries for other projects in the area,” he told reporters after a ground breaking ceremony for the hub.

He added that a hypermarket had submitted a proposal to open an outlet there.

“However, the state has to be selective as land is limited,” he added, noting that the state had allocated a 3.4ha plot of land for the hub project.

It had been reported that a newly-formed consortium –Combined Bus Services – would undertake the construction of the hub. The consortium was formed by 14 bus operators in the city.

Operasi Klang Sentral ditunda

Oleh NOR AZAN FITRI AHMAD HIDZIR



MAKLUMAN... Majlis Perbandaran Klang sudah memasang notis pemberitahuan penutupan hentian bas di pusat bandar Klang dan perpindahan hentian itu ke Terminal Bas Klang Sentral mulai November.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



KLANG 30 Okt. - Majlis Perbandaran Klang (MPK) tetap dengan keputusannya untuk memindahkan kedua-dua perhentian bas di pusat bandar ini ke Terminal Bas Klang Sentral walaupun mendapat bantahan daripada pelbagai pihak.

Ahli Majlis MPK, Jamuliddin Elias berkata, mengikut perancangan awal, operasi di Klang Sentral akan bermula Sabtu ini tetapi terpaksa ditunda ke satu tarikh lain berikutan terdapat sedikit masalah teknikal.

Bagaimanapun, katanya, tarikh baru itu tetap pada minggu pertama bulan depan.

"Kami berhadapan dengan masalah untuk mendapatkan sijil layak menduduki (CF) bagi Klang Sentral ekoran beberapa masalah kecil.

"Kami juga berhadapan masalah bekalan air kerana pihak Syarikat Bekalan Air Selangor Sdn. Bhd. (Syabas) masih belum menyalurkan air ke situ walaupun telah berjanji untuk menyambung bekalan sebelum Sabtu ini," katanya kepada Utusan Malaysia selepas mesyuarat penuh bulanan MPK di sini hari ini.

Sebelum ini, Utusan Malaysia melaporkan keputusan MPK untuk menghentikan operasi Hentian Bas Klang Utara, Jalan Pos Bahru dan Hentian Bas Ekspres serta Teksi, Lorong Kepayang berkuat kuasa 1 November ini.

Operasi kedua-dua hentian bas itu akan dipindahkan ke Terminal Bas Klang Sentral di Jalan Meru bernilai RM300 juta yang terletak kira-kira 10 kilometer daripada pusat bandar.

Jamuliddin memberitahu, perpindahan tersebut merupakan sebahagian daripada usaha pihak MPK untuk menguruskan kesesakan lalu-lintas yang semakin teruk di tengah-tengah bandar Klang.

Tambahnya lagi, keadaan sedia ada di pusat bandar Klang sudah tidak mampu menampung pertambahan jumlah kenderaan, membuatkan kesesakan menjadi semakin teruk sehingga orang ramai menjadi tertekan.

"Kedua-dua stesen bas yang sedia ada juga terlalu kecil dan sukar untuk memuatkan semua bas yang menjalankan operasi di stesen bas tersebut.

"Perubahan ini juga adalah sebahagian daripada usaha MPK untuk menjadikan Klang sebagai sebuah bandar moden pada masa akan datang," jelasnya.

Mengenai kedudukan Klang Sentral yang jauh dari pusat bandar dan dilihat akan menjadi satu bebanan baru kepada para pengguna serta pengusaha bas, beliau berkata, projek tersebut adalah perancangan kerajaan yang terdahulu.

Katanya, MPK hanya hanya meneruskan projek berkenaan, selain kerana ia juga telah dipersetujui oleh semua pengusaha bas di kedua-dua hentian bas tersebut.

"Para pengusaha bas juga memberikan jaminan bahawa kadar tambang adalah sama.

"Kami akan menyediakan pelbagai kemudahan seperti pondok bit polis, kedai makan dan seumpamanya sebagai usaha untuk memudahkan orang ramai yang menggunakan perkhidmatan bas di Klang Sentral," katanya.

Beliau memberitahu, masalah kesesakan lalu-lintas juga tidak menjadi persoalan kerana MPK telah menyediakan laluan bas yang baru untuk tujuan melancarkan operasi bas.

"Selain itu, terdapat banyak jalan keluar lain dari kawasan itu dan pengusaha bas serta orang ramai tidak hanya tertakluk untuk menggunakan Jalan Meru semata-mata," jelasnya.

Sementara itu, beliau memberitahu, Hentian Bas Klang Utara dan Hentian Bas Ekspres serta Teksi akan hanya digunakan sebagai tempat untuk mengambil penumpang sahaja.

Beliau menjelaskan, kedua-dua hentian bas itu juga akan diubah suai untuk dijadikan pusat komersial dan tidak akan dibiarkan begitu sahaja.

Work on Penang Sentral to start soon


GEORGE TOWN: Work on the first phase of Penang Sentral in Butterworth is expected to start before the end of the year when the relocation of hawkers at the current site is completed.
Malaysian Resources Corporation Berhad (MRCB) director Datuk Ahmad Ibnihajar said the relocation would be carried out soon.

He added that the temporary terminal could accommodate up to 62 hawkers, compared to 50 at the Penang Port Commission's three-storey bus complex destroyed in a 2001 fire.

"We have handed over the temporary hawker centre to the local council, and the relocation process is up to them," he said after handing over school supplies to 300 underprivileged pupils under MRCB's "Pintar" project.

Ahmad, however, said the relocation was only expected to begin after all the stage and express bus operators had moved to the temporary terminal next month.
The temporary terminal was completed in July but to date, only RapidPenang has begun operating there.

Ahmad said work on the first phase, expected to cost RM300 million, should be completed by 2013, comprising bus and taxi terminals, and retail outlets.

The 12.8ha Penang Sentral project is jointly undertaken by Pelaburan Hartanah Bumiputera Berhad (PHBB) and MRCB.

The integrated terminal for rail, road and sea travel is one of many major projects aimed at strengthening Penang's role as a logistics and transportation hub for the Northern Corridor Economic Region.

Waterfront Celebration adalah anak syarikat Keris Properties Sdn Bhd, pemaju projek pembangunan Pusat Komersil Waterfront di Sungai Siput. Ia akan menjadi kontraktor siap guna untuk projek berkenaan serta bertindak sebagai penyelenggara projek terbabit.

Mohd Shafie berkata, projek pembinaan hentian itu dijangka bermula awal tahun depan dan dijangka siap sepenuhnya akhir 2009 bagi menampung permintaan penduduk.

Sementara itu, Pengarah Keris Properties Sdn Bhd, Michael Tan berkata, pihaknya berusaha untuk melengkapkan kemudahan asas di Sungai Siput bagi memenuhi permintaan orang ramai.

"Keris Properties iaitu sebuah syarikat yang bertanggungjawab menjalankan projek pembangunan integrasi bernilai kira-kira RM150 juta membabitkan pembinaan kedai pejabat, rumah kedai dan perumahan di Bandar Baru Sungai Siput," katanya.

Mayor Datuk Iliyas Ibrahim said the city is in urgent need of the Southern Terminal as increasing traffic congestion in the city warrants it to route the inflow of buses away from the city.

He said if the Federal Government does not approve the funds, City Hall may find other means of funding to ensure the project gets implemented.

Iliyas mentioned the possibility of applying for a bank loan or to make a land swap deal with a private company to undertake the project. "We have applied for funds but so far they have not approved our application. If they don't approve then we'll do it ourselves, it's our land.

Maybe we'll apply for a loan or maybe we'll strike a land swap deal with a private company and ask them to do it," he said.

He told reporters this after a ceremony at SMK Kolombong, here Wednesday, where he officially declared the school litter-free.

Iliyas said the influx of buses into the city is adding to the worsening traffic congestion.

"We need this Southern Bus Terminal so that all the buses from Papar, Beaufort, Kuala Penyu, Brunei and Sarawak need not enter the city.

They will stop at the terminal and a special bus will bring their passengers to the city. This will help ease congestion," he said. Meanwhile, in another development, Iliyas said City Hall would not hesitate to take action against errant entertainment outlet operators who operate beyond permitted hours.

DBKK rancang bina terminal bas selatan

KOTA KINABALU 9 Nov. - Dewan Bandaraya Kota Kinabalu (DBKK) merancang membina terminal bas baru bagi zon selatan di Kepayan bagi mengatasi masalah kesesakan lalu lintas yang semakin teruk di pusat bandar.

Datuk Bandar Kota Kinabalu, Datuk Iliyas Ibrahim berkata, terminal bernilai RM70 juta itu dirancang dibina di kawasan berhadapan dengan Ibu Pejabat Kontinjen Polis Negeri.

Bagaimanapun katanya, DBKK pada masa ini masih menunggu kelulusan peruntukan bagi pembinaan tersebut daripada kerajaan Persekutuan.

''Bandar raya ini sememangnya memerlukan terminal bagi zon selatan kerana masalah kesesakan lalu lintas semakin ketara menyebabkan kenderaan perlu dihadkan daripada masuk ke pusat bandar.

''Kita pada masa ini masih menunggu kelulusan peruntukan. Jika tidak, DBKK perlu cari sumber kewangan lain," katanya kepada pemberita selepas majlis pengiktirafan Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan (SMK) Kolombong sebagai sekolah tanpa sampah di sini semalam.

Pada masa ini, hanya terdapat terminal utara di Inanam yang menempatkan bas-bas ekspres dari arah utara dan pantai timur Sabah.

Iliyas berkata, alternatif bagi mendapatkan sumber kewangan ialah memohon pinjaman bank atau menukarkan sebidang tanah dengan syarikat swasta untuk melaksanakan projek itu.

Beliau berkata, terminal baru itu dijangka dapat menempatkan bas dari selatan Sabah iaitu Papar, Beaufort, Sipitang, Kuala Penyu, Brunei dan Sarawak.

"Semua bas itu akan berhenti di situ dan bas khas akan membawa para penumpang ke bandar raya. cara ini akan dapat mengurang kesesakan di ibu kota," katanya.

Sementara itu Iliyas berkata, DBKK tidak akan teragak-agak untuk mengambil tindakan terhadap pengusaha pusat hiburan yang beroperasi melebihi had masa ditetapkan.

Katanya, had masa yang dibenarkan ialah sehingga pukul 1 pagi pada hari biasa dan 2 pagi pada hujung minggu.

"Jika ingkar, DBKK tidak teragak-agak mengambil tindakan segera seperti mengenakan kompaun dan menyita semua kelengkapan mereka," katanya.

Stesen Masjid Jamek disepadukan

KUALA LUMPUR 9 Nov. – Rangkaian Pengangkutan Integrasi Deras Sdn. Bhd. (RapidKL) bercadang untuk menyambung kedua-dua stesen transit aliran ringan (LRT) berhampiran Masjid Jamek di sini bagi menjadikan sistem pengangkutan itu lebih bersepadu.

Pengurus Besar Komunikasi RapidKL, Ebi Azly Abdullah berkata, selain itu, pihaknya juga sedang mempertimbangkan untuk menyepadukan sepenuhnya sistem jualan tiket LRT aliran Ampang (STAR) dan Kelana Jaya (Putra).

“Cadangan ini sedang dipertimbangkan untuk pembangunan fasa seterusnya bagi Stesen Masjid Jamek setelah kerja-kerja menaik taraf pada fasa pertama kini disiapkan,” katanya kepada pemberita selepas mengadakan tinjauan bersama media ke stesen berkenaan semalam.

Projek menaik taraf stesen berkenaan termasuk pembinaan sebuah plaza dilakukan oleh Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur (DBKL) dan Syarikat Prasarana Negara Berhad (SPNB) dan telah diserahkan kepada RapidKL.

Beliau berkata, plaza berkenaan akan dibuka kepada umum tidak lama lagi setelah sebahagian daripadanya ditutup dua tahun lalu.

Plaza yang sedang dinaik taraf sejak 1 November 2006 dijangka mampu memberi lebih keselesaan kepada pengguna apabila ia siap kelak.

Ebi Azly Abdullah berkata, plaza berkenaan mempunyai lima laluan masuk termasuk satu dikhaskan untuk golongan orang kurang upaya.

“Fasa pertama plaza ini telah disiapkan pada 15 Oktober lalu,” katanya.

Menurutnya, dengan siapnya fasa pertama itu bermakna Stesen Masjid Jamek kini mempunyai plaza baru berbumbung yang melintasi Sungai Gombak.

Kerja-kerja menaik taraf pada fasa pertama juga, jelasnya, telah meningkatkan ketinggian aras lantai plaza yang menyeberangi sungai berkenaan.

“Selain itu, kerja-kerja itu juga ialah menambah keluasan plaza ini,” katanya.

Masjid Jamek Plaza to open on Nov 15
By FAZLEENA AZIZ


THE long-awaited Masjid Jamek Station Plaza will be opened to the public on Nov 15.

The RM5mil development by the Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) was aimed to provide further integration with the Ampang/Sri Petaling-line LRT station and to protect commuters from the weather.


Opening soon: The station has been handed over to Rapid KL and will be in use on Nov 15.

Construction of the plaza commenced on Nov 1, 2006, and phase 1 of the Plaza was completed on Oct 15.

The project faced slight delays due to several issues including site constraints, inclement weather and technical problems.

The plaza has been handed over to RapidKL, who will manage the station.

RapidKL senior manager (rail operations) Ismail Abdullah said that there were five entrances including one for people with disabilities.


Big plans: RapidKL communication manager Chellan Vasuderan, Ismail and Ebi discussing the next phase for the upgrade plans.

“Among the improvements done to the station are a new covered roof crossing the river, an increase in the level of the plaza crossing the river and an increase of the area.

“The level has been raised according to the specifications given by the Drainage and Irrigation Department,” Ismail said.

Ismail also said that there were some 170,000 people using the Kelana Jaya Line with 30,000 using the Masjid Jamek station alone.

RapidKL general manager (communications) Ebi Azly Abdullah said that the next phase would include the possibility of connecting both Masjid Jamek Stations as well as a full integration of the ticketing system between the Ampang and Kelana Jaya Lines.

“We hope to provide a better facility for the public,” he said.
