Wee: ECRL project proceeding on schedule

PETALING JAYA: The East Coast Rail Link (ECRL) project is progressing smoothly and according to its construction schedule, says Transport Minister Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong.


“I am happy that the construction progress of the ECRL project is running smoothly and according to the construction schedule.


“With the effort and cooperation of all parties, I am confident that we can complete the ECRL project as planned,” he said during a visit to the construction site in Kuala Terengganu yesterday morning.

Dr Wee was briefed by Kuala Terengganu Division Bridge Construction chief Wang Jian Guo.

The 665km-long ECRL will traverse Kelantan, Terengganu and Pahang, and link to Port Klang via the northern part of Selangor.

The minister also visited the Road Transport Department (JPJ) state headquarters in Kuala Terengganu, where he praised the performance and quality of service provided.

Dr Wee commended the staff led by its director Zulkarnian Yasin.

“The implementation of the completely cashless payment system is a good approach as it simplifies things for people and saves time spent queuing at JPJ counters.

“By optimising the use of the six existing kiosks and adding another six this year, it can guarantee fast service and reduce waiting time at the counters, providing comfort to the public when dealing with JPJ.

“The existence of a special lane or ‘prime lane’ that prioritises the disabled, pregnant women, elderly and victims of the recent floods is praiseworthy as it will help the public with their dealings here at JPJ,” he said during the visit.

Dr Wee said the addition of 20 JPJ cars this year will help provide services to people who lived far from the department or Urban Transformation Centre branches, especially catering to rural folk.

He said the Stage Bus System Transformation (SBST) known as MyBas, (a subsidy programme for stop-and-go bus services), has been implemented smoothly in Terengganu

“There are four routes between Kuala Terengganu-Merang Jetty, Kuala Terengganu-Marang, Kuala Terengganu-Bukit Payung and within Kuala Terengganu city which have been created to meet the needs of the people,” he said.

Earlier in the afternoon, Dr Wee who is the MCA president, officiated the re-opening of the Marang MCA division service centre, following repairs over a one-and-a-half year period.

Rapid KL Clarifies Matters On Lalaport Bukit Bintang City Centre (BBCC) Entrance

 

News: Rapid KL Clarifies Matters On Lalaport Bukit Bintang City Centre (BBCC) Entrance

KUALA LUMPUR, 15 February – Rapid KL wishes to provide clarification on the issues raised by a Tik Tok account user that goes by the name Sam Wong. The video, taken at 7.10pm on 13 February and posted on Mr. Wong’s Tik Tok account on same date at 10.30pm, showed that three (3) ticket vending machines (TVM) could not be used and the customer service counter was unmanned.


Frustrating Tik Tok by a man goes viral


At the moment, the Level 1 entrance to Hang Tuah Station from LaLaport Bukit Bintang City Centre (BBCC), which was used by Mr. Wong, is yet to be opened to the public. While pedestrians are allowed to enter the station from this entrance, its facilities, such as TVM and entrance gates that would lead to the Monorail platform, are currently under testing and yet to be operational.


In order to access the Monorail platform, passengers are advised to use the LRT Ampang entrance located on the ground floor. Directional signages, and customer service assistants and Auxiliary Police would be placed on Level 1 at all times to provide assistance.

The BBCC entrance is expected to commence operations on 28 February 2022.

Rapid KL apologises for the anxiety and inconvenience caused and has reached out directly to Mr. Wong

KTMB offers special charter service to ferry bicycles

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 5 ― Cycling enthusiasts can now explore further experience including in the countryside with the introduction of special charter trains or the Express Bicycle Coach (XKB).

The new service by Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad (KTMB) allows cycling enthusiasts to bring along their bicycles into the specially prepared coach to their desired destination to start cycling.

KTMB chief executive officer Mohd Rani Hisham Samsudin said the service was introduced to give hardcore cycling enthusiasts a new and unique experience besides fulfilling the demand from passengers who want to relive the experience of diesel locomotive services as opposed to electric train services.



“When taking the train, they can explore interesting cycling locations along the KTMB train route throughout the country, including Thailand through the cooperation of the State Railway of Thailand.

“This would indirectly make their trip a safer journey apart from being less tiring because they don't have to drive to a farther location,” he told reporters after the launch of the new service here recently.

At the launch, some 150 participants were invited to take a ride on the XKB from the Kuala Lumpur station to the Tanjung Malim station before cycling for almost four hours over a distance of 49 kilometers via Sungai Bil - Behrang Ulu - Sungai Dara - Sungai Bil and cycling back to the Tanjung Malim station.



Mohd Rani Hisham added that the bicycle coach that was introduced was originally a modified passenger seat coach that could accommodate 60 bicycles at a time.

“For now, we have prepared three bicycle coaches and the bicycles will be placed on special equipment to ensure they remain stable during the journey.

“We have also added an ADNS coach (Air-conditioned Day/Night Second) or a sitting coach that can accommodate 60 passengers in the XKB package,” he said and added that the XKB service was a gesture to show support for the Agenda Nasional Malaysia Sihat (ANMS).

 

He said the rental cost depends on the type of coach and the travel distance based on the needs and wants of the customers which are offered at an affordable price.

“We also provide rental of special coaches with different facilities such as leisure coaches, conference coaches, special salon coaches, sleeper coaches and buffet coaches which can be accompanied by a bicycle coach according to the customer's request,” he said adding that they were prepared to collaborate with event organisers or promoters.

For cycling enthusiast, Dr Razul Ikmal Ramli who in his 40s, the XKB service was a good effort in encouraging more people to venture into the sport as it facilitates travelling as well as saves time and energy.

 

“Every facility provided is very organised in fact KTMB also provides a special route for cycling, thus allowing fans to enjoy the beauty of the location while promoting the tourism activities available in the area.

“After all, cycling is a recreational activity that promotes green mobility in an effort to maintain a green environment,” said Dr Razul, who is also Mata Hati Malaysia’s secretary.

Meanwhile, bank officer Mohd Saleh Zakaria, 50, plans to use the service during a trip with his cycling club, Santai Riders Cycling Club to the east coast at the end of the year.

“Earlier we rented a bus when we had a cycling trip from Perlis to Hatyai, Thailand, perhaps after this, we will try to take the train.

“I'm sure if we were to drive, it will be tiring and we will run out of energy to ride later,” he said.

YouTube content provider Mohammad Jazlan Nangar, 34, described the service as a golden opportunity for folding bike enthusiasts to ride as a group.

“The presence of this bicycle coach gives us more options, especially when cycling in a group outside the Klang Valley,” said Jazlan who has been involved in cycling since 2014. ― Bernama
