  • Night Closure of Jalan Ma'arof, Near Ma'arof
    MEDIA RELEASE NIGHT CLOSURE OF JALAN MA’AROF, NEAR MA’AROF INTERCHANGE (KL- & PJ-BOUND) Closure to be implemented as works for the future Pusat Bandar Damansara Station progresses Kuala Lumpur, 28 February 2014: Mass Rapid Transit Corporation Sdn Bhd (MRT Corp) held a walkabout today to highlight the traffic management plan (TMP) devised for Jalan Ma’arof, Bangsar for the month of March, where the future Pusat Bandar Damansara MRT Station will be built. A section of Jalan Ma’arof near the Ma’arof interchange (Kuala Lumpur- and Petaling Jaya- bound) will be closed during the night from 4th March 2014 to 31st March 2014. The closure will be between 10:00pm and 6:00am daily. The stretch affected is between the junction of Jalan Medang Serai and Jalan Johar at the Ma’arof interchange. (Please refer to appended map, highlighted in Blue.) Page 1 of 5 “Motorists who usually use Jalan Ma’arof to head towards Petaling Jaya, Damansara Heights or Pusat Bandar Damansara, are advised to avoid Jalan Ma’arof during this period,” said En Amir Mahmood Razak, MRT Corp Director of Strategic Communications and Public Relations. “They can use other routes to access these areas. For example, if you are on Jalan Bangsar heading towards Kuala Lumpur, you could use Jalan Travers and Jalan Damansara. If you are heading towards Petaling Jaya, you should go onto Jalan Pantai Baru to get on the Federal Highway and then onto Jalan Universiti,” he explained. “Traffic on these routes should not be busy as it will be during the night time,” he added.

    SPORTS FACILITIES DEVELOPMENT TOWARDS SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY: A CASE STUDY OF KUALA LUMPUR 1Maassoumeh Barghchi, 1Dasimah bt Omar, and 2Mohd Salleh Aman 1Department of Town and Regional Planning, Faculty of Architecture, Planning & Surveying Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM), Shah Alam, 40450 Selangor, Malaysia 2Sports Centre, University of Malaya (UM), 50603 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Abstract Sports and sports facilities development have improved rapidly over the past years in Malaysia. However, such improvements are inadequate compared to the overall development of sports at international level. In recent years sport is getting more and more influential and it will continue to grow in importance, even for developing countries. Increase in the amount of public money being spent on sports facilities, at the same time, increase in the number of sports facilities as well as increasingly importance of sustainability necessitate demand to investigate issues surrounding sports facilities development especially in Kuala Lumpur as the regional and national centre for sporting activities. The long-term benefits to cities and local communities need to achieve more initiative by decision-makers. However, sustainability is more important for sports facilities due to requirement of huge money for construction, ancillary needs and constant maintenance costs. This research aims to examine the effectiveness and intangible benefits of sports facilities in Kuala Lumpur through residents' perceptions. Four case studies each selected from one of the four managing zones of sports facilities developed by Kuala Lumpur City Hall provide information for this research. The research able to rank the case studies based on residents' perception towards their attitude about facilities and programmes, using of the facilities, and respondents’ willingness to pay.
