    The other shitty legacy of LGE is delaying the LRT3 opening! Where’s the transparency on costs savings from delaying by 4 (now 5) years?

      None is all I can say. It was a public political display from LGE. While good that our country was able to prove that we can have a peaceful transition of power, the governments since 2018 hasn’t been good policy-wise.

      And he cut down the number of stations and coaches too!

      Penny wise, pound foolish. I remember feeling outrage when I read that.

      Extremely short sighted. Not even his glasses can help him.

    2025 is too long 😭I also have a concern that the crowd on Kelana Jaya line will further increase. It’s already super bad now and it will be even worse in the future… I almost considered finding possible places to settle near lembah subang station. But with lrt 3 opening in the future, it’ll probably not be a good idea.

      Grave mistake for not successfully negotiating with KTM on relocating their Klang station to be beside the emporium, forcing everyone to consider LRT

        KTM’s intervals are bad too so people will rather go LRT too haha. plus since it connects to Glenmarie I assume most people are going to switch to KJ line there.

    When you cut cost, you might gonna need to downgrade the contractor, when you do that you might have underperformed contractor. When that happen, it will drag the completion dateline and might incur additional cost to rectify the problem.

      Its despicable transport projects can be delayed here or there when mobility already sucks so much here.
