The local press reported that toll charges for 18 highways in Malaysia will be raised between RM0.10 and RM3 effective from today. Out of this total, 12 are major highway concessions operating within the Klang Valley: Kuala Lumpur-Karak (KLK) Expressway, Maju Expressway (MEX), Kajang Dispersal Link Expressway (SILK), Duta-Ulu Kelang Expressway (DUKE), Stormwater Management and Road Tunnel (SMART), KL-Kuala Selangor Expressway (LATAR), Sungai Besi Highway (BESRAYA), New Pantai Expressway (NPE), Kajang Seremban Highway (LEKAS), Damansara Puchong Highway (LDP), Western Kuala Lumpur Traffic Dispersal Scheme (SPRINT) and Cheras- Kajang Highway (Grand Saga). Other highways that follow suit include the South Klang Valley Expressway (SKVE), Guthrie Corridor Expressway (GCE), Kemuning Shah Alam Highway (LKSA), Ampang Kuala Lumpur Elevated Highway (AKLEH), Senai Desaru Expressway (SDE) and Butterworth Outer Ring Road (LLB). Status quo for PLUS-owned highways. Altogether, toll rates for all eight highways under government-backed PLUS Expressway Bhd remained unchanged at this juncture. They are the North South Expressway (NSE), New Klang Valley Expressway (NKVE), Federal Highway Route 2, Seremban Port Dickson Highway, North South Expressway Central Link (ELITE), Second Link Malaysia Singapore (Linkedua), Butterworth Kulim Expressway (BKE) and Penang Bridge. Part of fiscal consolidation moves. We believe this is part of Malaysian government’s move to meet its budget deficit target of 3.2% for 2015 (2014: 3.5%) and support its sovereign rating amid a challenging global economic backdrop.

    Australian Journal of Basic and Applied Sciences, 5(6): 949-956, 2011 ISSN 1991-8178 Greater Kuala Lumpur's Public Transport: Government Initiatives and Stakeholders Response 1Abd Rahim Md Nor, 2Nor Ghani Md Nor, 1Mokhtar Jaafar 1School of Social, Development and Environmental Studies, Faculty of Social Science and Humanities, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, 43600 Bangi, Selangor, Malaysia. 2School of Economics, Faculty of Economics and Management, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, 43600 Bangi, Selangor, Malaysia. Abstract: Since public transport plays a crucial role in metropolitan areas, it is important to learn more about how cities plan their public transport systems and to examine how people perceive public transport as a travel alternative, how they use it and how better and more frequent use can be achieved. Lack of knowledge among public transport users of what is being planned for them is a barrier to high levels of public transport use. This paper examines the latest development in the ways the city authorities in Greater Kuala Lumpur introduce innovative initiatives to enhance public transport system and how stakeholders responded to it. Greater Kuala Lumpur refers to the immediate areas beyond the Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur boundaries, covering huge conurbation, extending from Kuala Lumpur to major population centers in the peripheries. This study found that The multimodal public transport system currently serving the cities in the conurbation is far from the desirable standard in term of availability, frequency, punctuality and rolling stock. Since 2009 the government has embarked on a series of measures to improve public transport services through fast-track planning and massive funding, aiming to increase public transport patronage in the conurbation from only 12% in 2008 to 25% in 2012 and finally 50% in 2020.

  • We Already Have a SMART Tunnel but Why Do Flash Floods Still 'Out-SMART' Us?
    We Already Have A SMART Tunnel But Why Do Flash Floods Still 'Out-SMART' Us? Following last month’s flash floods that caught KL city dwellers by surprise, many cars became submerged, forcing people to leave their cars and run for their life. Fortunately, no lives were lost but over a 100 car owners were left facing enormous repair bills after their cars were damaged by flood waters along Jalan Duta and Jalan Semantan. This is not the first time such an incident had occurred in KL and the surrounding Klang Valley. In fact KL-ites have lost count of the number of times frequent flash flood have inundated the city. It’s not like the government didn’t do anything. They had built the Stormwater Management and Road Tunnel (SMART) in 2007 that was touted as the solution to the flash floods problem. But the recent flash floods in May proves that we must have missed something. What else could be the problem and ultimately, what are the long-term solutions? History Of Major Floods In The Klang Valley Kuala Lumpur had experienced major floods since the 1920s. However the 1971 major flood was the worst ever recorded in Malaysia's history. The incident happened in January 1971 due to seasonal heavy monsoon rains, which swelled the Klang, Batu and Gombak rivers. Worst flash flood in Kuala Lumpur in 1971 where 32 people were killed and 180,000 people were affected. 32 people were killed and 180,000 people were affected. The Prime Minister during that time, Tun Abdul Razak declared a state of national disaster in Western Malaysia.
