FEATURE ARTICLE TWO:
PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION IN
MALAYSIA
Malaysia, in particular, has been showing positive progress towards encouraging its citizens in using the public transportations. The Malaysian government has the newly launched Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) and the integrated transportation hub of Terminal Bersepadu Selatan alongside other well-known and more ‘international’ transportation hubs such as the KLIA2. Highways, on the other hand, are public roads built to cater the needs of the public and shorten the distance or to provide a link between two destinations.
For now, basically, there are three new major expressways or highways in Malaysia and they are East Coast Expressway or Lebuhraya Pantai Timur (LPT), Kajang-Seremban Highway or LEKAS and the Pan Borneo Highway. The LPT started operating on 1 August 2004 connecting the West Coast and the East Coast of the Peninsular of Malaysia. LEKAS was launched on 22 August 2008, connecting Kajang and Seremban. Lastly, the Pan Borneo Highway which was completed way back in 1997 and made it possible to travel between Kuching and Kota Kinabalu by car or bus. Currently, the government is building newer sections of the highway to connect more rural areas in Sarawak.The Klang Valley MASS Rapid Transit (MRT) project which will be linked with Automatic Train Operation (ATO) consists of 3 lines. The MRT Line 1 for Sungai Buloh-
Kajang has been fully operationalised on 17 July 2017. The MRT Line 2 for the Sungai Buloh-Serdang-Putrajaya link is scheduled to be completed by 2022. Whereas, the final line of MRT Line 3 is still at its planning and development stage.
Terminal Bersepadu Selatan (TBS) is located at Bandar Tasik Selatan. TBS is effectively accessible through the Middle Ring
Road 2 (MRR2) and Sungai Besi Expressway, and it provides three major rail lines such as Keretapi Tanah Melayu (KTM), Express Rail Link (ERL) and Light Rail Transit (LRT) trains. It is a 24-hour incorporated transportation center point for travellers heading out to more than 150 destinations of north, south, and eastern Malaysia. There are plenty of stores located within the terminal so that people could do some shopping while waiting for the bus.The new Kuala Lumpur International
Airport 2 (KLIA2) was launched on 2 May 2014. It was built to allow continuous connectivity for local and international low- cost plus to avoid crowds at KLIA. The KLIA2 is designed with greater limit to cater up to 45 million passengers per year, and supplanting the Low Cost Carrier Terminal (LCCT). The KLIA Express provide fast train service (non-stop) which could take you from KL Sentral to KLIA in only 28 minutes, and 33 minutes from KL Sentral to KLIA2.
In nutshell, Malaysia’s public transportation is growing rapidly and tremendously like mushrooms after a heavy rain. This, in return, will benefit the citizens of Malaysia economically and socially. Public transportation is not only affordable but also hassle-free and very convenient to get around.

SPECIAL COLUMN:
GETTING TO KNOW YOU
This section allows the Malaysian community in Kuwait to get better acquainted with Malaysians who are currently residing here or who have already returned to Malaysia. For Issue 9 of the E-Newsletter, three Malaysian students who are currently taking short term Arabic Language Course at Language Institute, Kuwait University namely Ahmad Faruqi Ahmad Jazuli, Nur Shahiera Najati Che Rahim and Syahira Almuddin shared their stories and experiences, living in Kuwait for the past four months.
Syahirah Almuddin Nur Shahiera Najati Che Rahim Ahmad Faruqi Ahmad Jazuli
berasal dari Perlis Indera Kayangan. Beliau adalah anak kedua dari tujuh adik-beradik dan Syahirah Almuddin, 30 graduan Ijazah Sarjana Muda Bahasa dan Linguistik (Bahasa Arab) dari Fakulti Bahasa dan Linguistik Universiti Malaya. Beliau pernah mengikuti program pertukaran pelajar selama sebulan di Universiti Sharjah, Emiriah Arab Bersatu (UAE) pada 2010. Selain mengikuti kursus pengajian Bahasa Arab, beliau turut berpeluang mengikuti kelas-kelas pengajian agama yang
dianjurkan di Masjid Kabir. Semangat beliau utuk menguasai Bahasa Arab terus disemarakkan apabila beliau berpeluang mengenali pelajar-pelajar dari serata dunia, seperti Jepun, Korea, Armenia, Rusia, Ukraine, Perancis dan Jerman. Menurut beliau, apa yang menarik, pengajian di dalam kelas bukan hanya menekankan kepada penguasaan Bahasa Arab, bahkan turut melibatkan perkongsian agama serta ilmu kehidupan antara sesama pelajar dan pensyarah. Beliau amat berharap agar
lepasan pelajar di Institut Bahasa, Universiti Kuwait dapat meneruskan pengajian di sini, di peringkat yang lebih tinggi.
berasal dari Kelantan Darul Naim dan merupakan graduan Universiti Malaya Nur Shahiera Najati Che Rahim, 24 dalam bidang Usuluddin dan Psikologi. Beliau begitu teruja berada di sini, bukan sahaja kerana dapat belajar Bahasa Arab, bahkan berpeluang mempelajari aspek sosial dan kebudayaan warganya. Menurut beliau, kedatangan beliau ke sini ibarat sebuah mimpi menjadi kenyataan, memandangkan beliau sebelum ini hanya mendengar cerita mengenai Kuwait daripada
dua orang adik lelaki beliau, iaitu Mohd Jasir Jawwad dan Mohd Izzat yang telah berada di sini selama lima tahun dan sedang belajar di Maahad Dini, Qortuba. Seperti Syahirah Almuddin, beliau turut gembira kerana berpeluang mengikuti kelas- kelas pengajian agama yang dianjurkan di Masjid Kabir.

Beliau menerima pendidikan awal di SK Ketereh, Maahad Tahfiz Sains, Maahad Muhammadi dan sekarang sedang mengikuti pengajian Sarjana Muda di Universiti Kuala Lumpur (UniKL). Bagi mencapai hasrat mengikuti Kursus Bahasa Arab
di Kuwait, beliau telah menangguhkan pengajian beliau di UniKL untuk tempoh setahun. Menurut beliau, ini merupakan pengalaman kali pertama beliau untuk tinggal di luar negara untuk tempoh yang lama. Beliau berpandangan bahawa kursus ini dan biasiswa yang ditawarkan oleh Kerajaan Kuwait adalah peluang terbaik beliau untuk menguasai Bahasa Arab, di
mana beliau dapat meluaskan jaringan perkenalan dan ukhuwah dengan pelajar-pelajar berbilang bangsa dan agama dari seluruh dunia. Beliau juga yakin bahawa biasiswa yang diberikan oleh Kerajaan Kuwait ini dapat mengukuhkan lagi hubungan dua hala antara Malaysia dan Kuwait.
