Saya berpuas hati dengan laporan oleh Jawatankuasa Siasatan yang terdiri daripada 9 anggota, diketuai Ketua Setiausaha Kementerian Pengangkutan yang dibuat secara profesional, komprehensif dalam perinciannya, dan dapat diselesaikan dalam tempoh 14 hari yang diberikan kepada mereka.
Tahniah dan syabas diucapkan kepada pasukan Jawatankuasa Siasatan atas usaha keras dalam beberapa hari ini, bertungkus-lumus siang malam termasuk turun padang ke Pusat Kawalan Operasi (OCC) LRT Kelana Jaya, membuat sesi simulasi di tempat kejadian, temusiasat serta meneliti dokumen-dokumen panduan operasi berkaitan.
Saya berharap dapat membentangkan dapatan laporan ini kepada Kabinet pada hari esok (Rabu) 9 Jun 2021 dengan beberapa cadangan untuk meningkatkan keselamatan dan prosedur operasi standard untuk tren RapidRail. Pada ketika ini, saya masih meneliti dokumen-dokumen dan hasil penemuan yang diberikan oleh Jawatankuasa Siasatan.
Bukan setakat meningkatkan mutu perkhidmatan RapidRail, tetapi penemuan dan cadangan ini juga akan dapat meningkatkan infrastruktur perkhidmatan kereta api Malaysia untuk jangka panjang di masa hadapan.

I have received the preliminary report from the Investigation Committee on the Kelana Jaya LRT collision which occurred on 24 May 2021 via a virtual conference with the Committee.
I am satisfied that the report compiled by the 9-member committee led by our Ministry of Transport Secretary General was indeed professionally done, comprehensive in its details, and completed within the 14-day period given to them.
Kudos and congratulations to the team for their tireless efforts, and burning the midnight oil these few days, including going to the ground at the Kelana Jaya OCC, going through the simulations, interviews, and poring through the guidelines and documents.
I look forward to presenting their findings to the Cabinet on Wednesday, 9th June 2021, with several recommendations to bridge the gaps in the safety and standard operating procedures for RapidRail’s trains. I am still studying the documents and findings given by the committee.
More than improving RapidRail’s services, these findings, and recommendations will go a long way to improving Malaysia’s entire rail service infrastructure for the long term into the future.

KL Sentral Major Facelift in The Cards; Wee

 

KUALA LUMPUR: The government is mulling a major upgrade on Stesen Sentral Kuala Lumpur (KL Sentral), the first since it opened for operation in 2001, to cater the increasing number of commuters and traffic volume in the area.

Transport Minister Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong said the facelift was timely as the transportation hub has exceeded its 100,000 daily commuters capacity.

"KL Sentral receives an average of 200,000 commuters daily prior to the Covid-19 pandemic and currently it caters to about 70,000 commuters everyday.

"The upgrade plan needs to be drawn from a holistic view, not just in providing public transportation to the public, but to have a comfortable terminal.

"We will hold further discussions with the stakeholders on this," he told reporters after distributing Ramadan giveaways to KL Sentral users in conjunction with its 20th anniversary celebration today.

Earlier in a speech, Wee said KL Sentral has set a global benchmark for transit-oriented development as it has a reference for similar establishments in countries like Pakistan, India, Indonesia, Republic of Guinea and New Zealand.

"It is an honourable recognition for the country's transportation system development, in line in with our efforts to make Malaysia an exemplary developed nation.

"Malaysians, especially those in the Klang Valley continue to benefit from services at KL Sentral, which is a landmark in the capital city."

When talking about measures put in place amidst the pandemic, Wee assured commuters' safety was the highest priority because this was emphasised in all aspects of the terminal's operations.

He said Wee said KL Sentral would continue to be a vital transport hub with two upcoming mega rail projects.

"Upon completion of the East Coast Rail Link ( ECRL) project and south-bound Electric Train Services (ETS), we will further see an increase of daily commuters at KL Sentral.

"This place will be the biggest interchange point (in the country). We have to address the congestion issue in the area and conduct a traffic impact assessment."

When recalling the history of the KL Sentral Site, Wee said it was originally a marshalling yard owned by Keretapi Tanah Melayu Bhd (KTMB) and used as a depot and warehouse to repair rail coaches.


"In 1997, MRCB's subsidiary Kuala Lumpur Sentral Sdn Bhd was given the mandate to develop a modern transportation hub through a concessionaire.

"At the time, the 29.13ha land was earmarked for a business hub, now known as KL Sentral CBD due to its strategic location and was expected to attract foreign investors in Malaysia."

Following this, plans to upgrade the public transportation in the city were put in motion, in tandem with infrastructure development, which saw the development of KL Sentral.

At the same event, MRCB Foundation contributed a total of RM100,000 to assist the B40 community including the visually-impaired individuals affected by the Covid-19 pandemic.

The beneficiaries were the Malaysian Foundation for the Blind, PPR Lembah Pantai, Lighthouse Children Welfare Home Association Kuala Lumpur and Selangor and Pertubuhan Kebajikan Baitul Hasan Kuala Lumpur.

This contribution will benefit about 500 people by providing food aid and sponsoring basic household items for the charity homes. NST.com.my
