MEDIA RELEASE LONG-TERM ROAD REALIGNMENT AT INTERSECTION OF JALAN CHERAS-JALAN 1/91, SHAMELIN NEAR MALURI LRT STATION Kuala Lumpur, 19 April 2013: A long-term road realignment will be implemented along Jalan Cheras towards the intersection of Jalan 1/91 Shamelin, commencing on 25 April 2013 and will be in effect until 31 October 2016. This realignment is necessary to facilitate underpinning works for the MRT Project’s underground section which is being carried out by the underground works package contractor MMC Gamuda KVMRT (T) Sdn Bhd. The road realignment will have no impact on the existing number of lanes serving motorists. Please see Map attached for the location of the road realignment. Lane or road closures and diversions such as this are a key part of our safety practice at all MRT construction sites. The realignment will ensure that any risk of public injury is minimised. It is an essential process in the construction of the MRT project. Motorists are reminded to drive carefully near the MRT worksites and to follow directional signs. Safety barriers and traffic cones will be installed and flagmen will be stationed at the work site to ensure road users and pedestrians are well-informed of on-going works. MRT Corp wishes to apologize for any temporary inconvenience caused to the public during the construction of this world-class public transport facility that will benefit Malaysians at large. The Sungai-Buloh Kajang Line will comprise 31 stations, and serve 1.2 million people along the route. It will also have strategic integration with KL’s existing rail transport network, namely the LRT, Monorail and KTM Komuter, as well as intra and inter-city bus routes. The end result will be better connectivity for KL and its surrounding cities, while reducing the number of cars that enter the capital. For more information on the lane closure, members of the public can visit the MRT website at www.mymrt.com.my or www.mymrt-underground.com.my, Twitter @MRTMalaysia or Twitter @MyMRT Underground or call the MRT Hotline at 1800-82-6868.

DEVELOPING URBAN GREEN SPACE CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM USING MULTI-CRITERIA: THE CASE OF KUALA LUMPUR CITY, MALAYSIA AMAL NAJIHAH MUHAMAD NOR1,2 AND SAIFUL ARIF ABDULLAH 1* 1Institute for Environment and Development (LESTARI), Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, 43600 UKM Bangi, Selangor, Malaysia. 2Faculty of Earth Science, Universiti Malaysia Kelantan, Jeli Campus, 17600 Jeli, Kelantan, Malaysia. *Corresponding author e-mail: [email protected] Received: 25th October 2018, Accepted: 21th December 2018 ABSTRACT In many countries urban green spaces are stated in a set of different administrative regulatory framework. However, their definition and characteristics are inconsistent and developing a systematic classification has been recognized to avoid the inconsistency. Several efforts have been made but the approach mainly based on a few criteria and classified manually according to the types that stated in the regulatory framework. Therefore, this study developed a classification system based on multi-criteria that represents the structure and function of urban green spaces using Kuala Lumpur City, Malaysia as a model. The useful of the systematic classification for urban green spaces planning and management was interpreted through landscape pattern analysis. In this study, land use map of Kuala Lumpur City was used as a based. Through field observation, information from Kuala Lumpur City Hall and satellite image interpretation, seven criteria were identified to develop the classification system. Landscape pattern was based on landscape metrics analyzed using FRAGSTAT 3.3. The analysis defined five categories of urban green spaces: conservation green space, greenway, community green space, residential green space and amenity green space.

ABSTRACT Kuala Lumpur Limestone formation exhibits karstic features with irregular bedrock profiles and variable weathering condition. The Klang Valley Mass Rapid Transit (KVMRT) SBK Line project is the first Mass Rapid Transit project in Malaysia. There are three underground stations namely Tun Razak Exchange (TRX) station, Cochrane Station and Maluri Station located in Kuala Lumpur limestone formation. TRX Station is the deepest station with maximum excavation depth of 45m below ground and also one of the underground interchange stations for future line. Cochrane Station with maximum excavation depth of 32m below ground also serves as launching shaft for the tunnel boring machine from both ends of the station. Maluri Station with maximum excavation depth of 20m below ground includes an underground train crossover as operational requirement. A technically appropriate and cost effective temporary earth retaining system suitable for the challenging geological formation using secant pile wall supported by temporary ground anchors or temporary strutting was adopted.

The Implementation of Standard Approach for Open Space Planning in Kuala Lumpur
PLANNING MALAYSIA: Journal of the Malaysian Institute of Planners VOLUME 18 ISSUE 4 (2020), Page 452 – 464 THE IMPLEMENTATION OF STANDARD APPROACH FOR OPEN SPACE PLANNING IN KUALA LUMPUR Robiah Suratman1, Maryanti Mohd Raid2, Muhammad Izuan Nadzri3, Salfarina Samsudin4, Nur Khairiyah Mohammad5 1,2,4,5 Faculty of Built and Environment UNIVERSITI TEKNOLOGI MALAYSIA 3Institute of Oceanography and Environment (INOS) UNIVERSITI MALAYSIA TERENGGANU Abstract This article attempts to discuss the implementation of standards approach, 2 hectares per 1000 population as approved by the National Physical Planning Council in 2005. Using Kuala Lumpur as case study, the analysis showed that the uniformity of standards approach implementation has failed to take into account the distinction within the local conditions which have implications on the level of achievement for the 6 planning zones in Kuala Lumpur from 2011 to 2017. Use of the standards approach without modifications has created high density zones such as the City Centre, Sentul-Manjalara and Wangsa Maju-Maluri failed to attain the standards. Besides, other zones namely Damansara-Penchala, Bandar Tun Razak-Sungai Besi and Bukit Jalil-Seputih have exceeded the targeted standards. Based on the analysis, the distinction of local condition for each zone in Kuala Lumpur in terms of population number, urban land availability, land value, urbanization process and densification rate of the city need to be considered in implementing standards approach. Keyword: open space planning, standards approach, open space provision, high density city 2 Corresponding Author & Research Officer at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia.

Craig Moore (August 2018) Kuala Lumpur the Historic Development Of
Craig Moore (August 2018) Kuala Lumpur The historic development of urban rail in Kuala Lumpur has been very fragmented, with the system being created, and expanded, through different ownership, construction, mode and operational styles. It was not until 2004, when Rapid KL took operational control of the LRT lines, that some semblance of integration became evident. In 2007 the Monorail was also brought under this brand and since then there has been an attempt to better assimilate urban rail provision in the capital area. Initially, this had mixed success but, more recently, there has been a strengthening of ambition and resources to make this work – and this has largely been successful. This trend, together with recent expansions of rail provision, means that metropolitan KL now has a significant rail ‘footprint’ with 10 lines and several different modes throughout the Federal District and surrounding parts of Selangor. Whilst Rapid KL services (MRT/LRT/Monorail) are undoubtedly the backbone of rail provision, this is supported by KTM suburban rail services and a private airport line to PutraJaya and KLIA. Rapid KL Services The first modern rail provision in KL was the Ampang/Sri Petaling Line (37km to Sri-Petaling and 8.1km branch to Ampang from Chan Sow Lin). It runs on standard-gauge track with third-rail power supply from the Sentul area in the north on an elevated structure along the Gombak River and through the original city centre. This part of the route is the most characterful and the rail elevation is a great way to see the city and its, somewhat, indiscriminate development.
