Malaysian News: Auto Fuel, Car Sales, Public Transit, Ports September 23, 2004 Malaysian News: Auto fuel, car sales, public transit, ports September 23, 2004 1. Calls have been made to move the nation's auto fleets towards becoming diesel driven, similar to Europe, in move to reduce emissions and costs 2. Car sales continue to increase, with non-national brand sale increases outpacing national brand sale increases 3. About 65% of KL's public transit capacity for rail and buses will be nationalized under a new agency. The purpose is to provide more integration and coordination of physical infrastructure, fare structure, routes and scheduling. This is a big change from the many separate privately owned rail and bus lines! 4. Port Klang's throughput continues to grow 5. Port Klang is moving to a new system of tracking cargo that requires shipping agents to provide additional information on freight. Shipping agents are refusing to provide new information and resulting impass could cause massive delays in Port Klang when new system is implemented Oct. 1. 6. Malaysia port has new system to route and inspect cargo in more automatic manner, but also has backup plan in place in case new system fails ******************************************************** ***1. Calls for move towards diesel as private auto fuel*** ******************************************************** http://www.bernama.com/ September 22, 2004 18:39 PM Call For Use Of More Diesel-Powered Engines KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 22 (Bernama) -- Tan Lian Hoe (BN-Bukit Gantang) Wednesday called for more use of diesel-powered engines as the fuel is cheaper than petrol. Tan said diesel was cheaper and cleaner, and engines which used the fuel emitted less noxious gas as compared to the more expensive petrol which produced a lot of carbon monoxide. "Diesel is a safe fuel, not easily flammable and 30 per cent cheaper than petrol," he said when debating the Supply Bill 2005 at Dewan Rakyat here Wednesday. He said 43.7 per cent of motorists in Europe used diesel-powered engines, France (67 per cent) and Australia (71 per cent). "For an individual, who uses diesel-powered engine, he can save up to 50 per cent in fuel costs, some RM1.8 billion a year for the nation," he said. He also urged the government to review the high road tax imposed on vehicles that used diesel as fuel. Tan also agreed with Datuk Raja Ahmad Zainudin Raja Omar (BN-Larut) on the need to fix "life span" for vehicles in efforts to reduce road accidents. He also called for the government to reduce bureaucratic red tape that caused inconveniences to the public. Wong Nai Chee (BN-Kota Melaka) urged the government to allow more usage of the mother tongue of various races in the country. "Use of national language should be given priority but this should not bar or limit the use of mother tongue of respective communities," he said. Wong also called for more allocation for vernacular schools which at times had to depend for assistance from their parent-teacher associations. Datuk Dr Wan Azmi Ariffin (BN-Sik) called for "Sabah Sarawak Development Plan (SSDP)" to be drawn out as a development master plan for both states. He said SSDP should be given attention in efforts to curb the "halfway stage syndrome" which happened to previous development blueprints. Dr Mohd Hayati Othman (PAS-Pendang) hoped construction of the East Coast Expressway would not stop at Terengganu, but extended to Kelantan despite the state being administered by an opposition party. "I hope the present national leadership do not practise narrow brand of politics in achieving balanced development," he said. He also agreed with Mohd Alwi Che Ahmad (BN-Ketereh) for cigarette producers to lower nicotine content in their products by 50-70 per cent. The House will sit again Thursday. ************************************* ***2. Car sales continue to increase*** ************************************* http://www.nst.com.my/Current_News/BTimes/Thursday/Frontpage/20040922233209/A rticle/ August car sales up for 7th straight month By RUPINDER SINGH CAR sales in AAugust rose for the seventh straight month, growing 12.4 per cent from a year ago, signalling a steady momentum in private spending. Motor vehicle sales continued its upward trend in August this year with 41,238 units sold, representing a 12.4 per cent increase from 36,701 units sold in August 2003, according to the Malaysian Automotive Association (MAA). “Year-on-year sales trend for August 2004 continued to register positive growth. Volume increased by 4,537 units, or 12.4 per cent, over August 2003,” MAA said in a statement released yesterday. Motor stock analysts said strong consumer confidence, low interest rates and attractive terms on car-financing and the strong economy combined to drive sales higher. In tandem with the fast-growing economy which registered a gross domestic product of 8 per cent in the second quarter, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi when tabling the 2005 Budget earlier this month forecast the economy to grow to 7 per cent this year. Sales of passenger cars in August this year rose 12.75 per cent to 32,183 units, while commercial vehicle sales increased almost 11 per cent to 9,055 units. “As at year to date, August, volume is 37,945 units, or 13.8 per cent, higher than the same period last year,” the association said. The total industry volume (TIV) for motor vehicle sales from January to August 2004 was 312,320 units from 274.375 units previously. About 70 per cent of the volume of passenger cars and commercial vehicles sold in the first eight months of 2004 comprised national cars. In the same eight-month period, foreign car sales rose 37 per cent to 97,038 units from 70,879 during the last corresponding year. Meanwhile, overall production for the national and non-national makes up to August 2004 declined 1.1 per cent to reach a total of 290,307 units against 293,516 units in 2003. In that first eight months of this year, production of national makes declined by 7.2 per cent to reach 211,247 units, while non-national car production improved 20 per cent to 79,060 units. However, overall production for both passenger and commercial vehicles for August improved by 8.6 per cent to 39,272 units from 36,154 units in August last year. In the same month, both national and foreign car makers’ output increased by 6.5 per cent and 14.5 per cent as they rolled out 28,277 units and 10,995 units respectively. The association expects market conditions in September to remain unchanged. MAA had earlier forecast that the TIV will expand by 9 per cent to 440,000 units this year, as sales rebounded strongly following a dismal period caused by tax uncertainties. TIV registered last year were 405,010 units. *********************************************************** ***3. Large segment of KL public transit to be nationalized*** *********************************************************** http://www.theedgedaily.com/cms/content.jsp?id=com.tms.cms.article.Article_25231e80 -cb73c03a-18e609b0-8f8da554 16-09-2004: End to transport woes By Yap Lih Huey Rangkaian Pengangkutan Integrasi Deras (Rapid) KL, the newly-formed government agency to integrate Klang Valley’s public transport system, will take over the operations of light rail transit Putra and Star, and bus services Intrakota and Cityliner by year end. Under the plan, sources say Rapid KL will take over Syarikat Prasarana Negara Bhd’s (SPNB) operational role and assets in Putra, Star, Intrakota and CityLiner leaving SPNB’s role to building and financing the infrastructure. However, KL Monorail, Metrobus and Triton (a subsidiary of Advance Synergy Capital Bhd) will remain as independent transport service providers. A member on the advisory panel of Integrasi Sistem Pengangkutan Awam Lembah Klang (Inspak) steering committee tells FinancialDaily that the bus and light rail services to be undertaken by Rapid KL will cover some 65% of urban public transport services. He says: “The transfer of assets of Putra, Star, Intrakota and CityLiner from SPNB to Rapid KL is expected to happen soon.” On Sept 10, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi announced the setting up of Rapid KL in his Budget 2005 speech. This is bad news for Ready Network Sdn Bhd, a company owned by Nadicorp Holdings Sdn Bhd, Kuala Lumpur Infrastructure Group Bhd and KUB Bhd, which was picked last October to take over all public transport services in the Klang Valley. Commenting on Rapid KL’s operational role, the member on Inspak’s advisory panel says: “It will be run by professionals with expertise and knowledge of public transportation systems. They will be picked from the region. “In addition to the common brand (Rapid), the integration plan comprises four basic functions — physical, network, fare and ticketing, and information — to be implemented in stages,” he adds. Physical integration will involve the construction of walkways, access roads, ramps and bridges to facilitate customer access. Rationalisation of fare structures across operators, and common ticketing across operators and modes, as well as the creation of a single “travelcard” acceptable across modes will be operational by the middle of next year. Under the network integration, he says routing and scheduling of public transport services across service providers will be rationalised and coordinated. The provision of information such as fare, timetable and route plans as well as timetables for all operators on the entire public transport network will be implemented as well. According to him, the independent public transport service providers that are not part of the integration plan will continue to operate as usual. “If they choose to work with Rapid KL, they will come under an integration agreement with Rapid KL,” he says. Rapid KL comes under the Klang Valley Urban Transport Authority (KVUTA), a one-stop agency that plans, implements, and enforces policies aiming to ease transport woes in the Klang Valley.

Datuk Seri Chan Kong Choy was briefed by Suria Capital Holdings Berhad' Group Managing Director, Datuk Hj. Abu Bakar Hj. Abas on the current progress of the states newly built container port. It was announced that SBCP was ready for operation on 1st June 2007 and shifting of the containerization activity from KK port to Sapangar would commence on the mentioned date. Among the issues that were highlighted in the briefing was the impressive development of the ports in Sabah, in particular Kota Kinabalu port, which had grown in terms of container through- put. An increase of almost 8.5% was recorded in KK Port from a total of 141 969 teus (in 2005) to 153 793 teus (in 2006) and for the first quarter of 2007, a growth of 20% container throughput was achieved. In addition, the container rate productivity had significantly increased to 18 boxes an hour and is expected to reach 20 - 22 boxes per hour upon the operation of SBCP. Datuk Seri Chan Kong Choy hailed these improvements as phenomenal and cited the crucial role of crane productivity in terms of faster turnaround time which will attract vessels to SBCP.

  • Service Disruption on Mrt Kajang Line Due to Signalling Problems
    MEDIA STATEMENT FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE SERVICE DISRUPTION ON MRT KAJANG LINE DUE TO SIGNALLING PROBLEMS KUALA LUMPUR, 16 August 2021- MRT Kajang Line is experiencing a service disruption due to signalling problems that were detected at 9.15am today that caused all trains that were in operations along the MRT Kajang Line to be held at platforms along its entire alignment starting from MRT Sungai Buloh Station to MRT Kajang Station. “The signalling problems are believed due to a technical issue and Rapid KL’s Engineering Department, together with BT Alstom who is the system’s manufacturer and Mass Rapid Transit Corporation Sdn Bhd (MRT Corp), are working to resolve this so that MRT Kajang Line could operate normally as soon as possible,” said a statement issued by the rail operator today. When the signalling problems were detected, all trains that were in operations switched to manual mode and were driven by Transit Officers to the nearest station, at a speed of not more than 25km/hour. Passengers were advised to disembark and take alternative transport in order to continue with their journey. Then, MRT Kajang Line suspended its operations from 11.15am to 3.45pm to allow for diagnostic work and full system reboot to be performed. It has since resumed operations at 3.45pm in revised service mode. “We deeply regret the inconvenience and would like to apologise to our passengers for this service disruption. For the safety of all involved, MRT Kajang Line is currently operating on revised service mode where trains would be moving slower and dwelling at platforms longer,” it added.

In Malaysia, the problem issues are related to traffic congestion and many user cars on the roadway in daily lives. One alternative mode of using a rail network is commuter, LRT, Monorail, MRT and ETS. Therefore, the Geographic Information System (GIS) technology is then used to map and produce the railway networks history and developments in urban public transportation (UPT). The goal of this research is to identify the heatmap trends of the Klang Valley railway stations which included Kuala Lumpur as urban public transport sectors. It was based on the OSM image layer from the year 1990 to 2019 and studied the growth of railway networks through a polyline pattern analysis.

  • Construction Sector Remains Challenging As the Federal Government Is Reviewing Ongoing Infrastructure Projects to Reduce Costs by 20-33%
    4 October 2018 Waiting for the other shoe to drop Sector Update The outlook for the Construction sector remains challenging as the federal government is reviewing ongoing infrastructure projects to reduce costs by 20-33%. Projects that could be affected include the Construction Klang Valley MRT Line 2 (MRT2) and LRT Line 3 (LRT3), Pan Borneo Highway (PBH) and Gemas-Johor Bahru Electrified Double Tracking (EDT). There are opportunities in state government projects in Penang and Sarawak. Maintain our NEUTRAL call. Top BUYs are IJM, Suncon Neutral (maintain) and HSS. Potential MRT2 cost cuts We gather that the MRT2 project could see a 25% reduction in cost to RM24bn from an initial estimate of RM32bn. The MMC Gamuda Joint Absolute Performance (%) Venture (JV) will be the most affected as it is the main contractor for the underground section and the Project Delivery Partner (PDP) for the above- 1M 3M 12M ground section of the MRT2. Other listed contractors that could be affected AQRS (6.4) (14.9) (37.9) due to ongoing work on above-ground packages secured include Ahmad Gamuda (10.0) 2.8 (37.1) HSS Eng 2.2 33.3 (9.5) Zaki, Gadang, George Kent, IJM Corp, MRCB, MTD ACPI, Mudajaya, IJM Corp (6.3) 1.7 (45.9) SunCon, TRC, TSR and WCT. Since the cost reductions will come from MRCB 0.7 15.8 (23.2) the reduction in the scope of works, we believe only the contract values will Suncon (0.4) (6.5) (37.4) be reduced while profit margins should be preserved.
