He constantly stimulates my thinking and view on topics beyond the boundary of the thesis which has had a positive impact on me as a person. Secondly, I am fortunate to be part of the ZEF Doctoral programme and for this I would like to thank Prof. Dr Solvay Gerke, who has accepted me based on my initial proposal and thereafter, has agreed to co-supervise this thesis. To my tutor Dr. Anna-Katharina Hornidge thank you for helping me during the finalisation process especially on a short notice. My stay and studies in Germany would not have been possible without the financial support and study leave from the Public Service Department of Malaysia, for that I would like to thank staffs from the human capital division especially Ms Saraya Arbi and JPA Frankfurt office. In addition I would also like to extend my appreciation to the management of the Ministry of Housing and Local Government for providing me with an office space and technical support during the fieldwork. I am indebted to all my respondents in Cyberjaya and officers in the MDeC, Majlis Perbandaran Sepang, EPU, MOSTI, MyIPO, MOHE, JUPEM, Setia Haruman and Cyberview for all their assistance and input. My special gratitude to my colleagues in ZEF whom have helped to shape my thinking and the outcome that follows in this thesis, especially those from the ZEF A Research Seminar Group. Special thanks to Pamela Nienkemper for helping me with the maps, Herr Guido Luchter for making statistics easier than it seems, Herr Volker Merx for being such an excellent librarian, Herr Ludger Hammer and Frau Anja Köhler for making sure that I get the best IT support and Mbak Farah for our ‘Mini Crit Sessions’. I would also like to thank Dr Manske, Guido Rohmann and Jishoy for their excellent and tireless administrative support. To my colleague from batch 2008 especially Anastasiya, Asghar, Grace, Hart, Jin Zhang, Deden and Evita thank you for being my ‘family’ and encouraging me to believe that there is life aside from the thesis as the slogan of the City of Bonn, ‘Freude’. A special dedication to Mrs Zabel for giving me the moral support, motivation and help from the very first day I arrived in Germany. Her personal concern and care always makes me feel at home and forget the loneliness of living in a foreign land. Lastly, I would like to thank all my friends and family in Malaysia for all their ‘dhua’, support and encouragement. They are the pillar of my strength, without which I would have never been able to finish this thesis.

    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.
