KUALA LUMPUR - MALAYSIA is to start work on a Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) system in Kuala Lumpur next July, premier Najib Razak announced on Saturday, in an bid to ease congestion on the city's transport network.
The 36 billion ringgit (S$15.1 billion) project, part of the government's economic transformation plan, will link the city's disparate commuter lines, Mr Najib said.
The new line from the city's northwestern perimeter to the southeast will pass through many densely populated suburbs that are not served by the present innercity light rail transit systems.
The line will take six years to complete, Mr Najib said, and is expected to transport more than 400,000 passengers every day, as well as creating 130,000 jobs during its construction.COPIED AND PASTED FROM THIS LINK
