The state government plans to take up the proposal to extend the railway alignment from the Klang district to the northern part of Selangor to the Federal government as soon as the Selangor State Election concludes said Chief Minister Dato Amirudin Shari.
The CM said close cooperation between the central and the state government is needed to realise the plan, and a meeting with the Transport Ministry (MOT) will be held to discuss the matter.
“From Klang to Kuala Selangor, it will involve an alignment of between 20 to 30 kilometres, and issues such as land reserve, route, and cost will be discussed,” he said at a media conference after opening the Miti Open Day 2023, earlier today.
The alignment will not only shorten the journey to northern Selangor when compared to by road, but will also give economic spillover to the areas concerned.
However, Amirudin said the project is expected to be implemented sometime in mid-2025 to 2026.
“We do not want to burden the Federal government; we will finish the Mass Rapid Transit 3 (MRT3), the East Coast Rail Link (ECRL) and Light Rail Transit 3 (LRT3), which are expected to be completed between 2025 and 2027,” he said.
din presented the pledge to create Jajaran Kita Selangor, which connects the railway services in Klang to Kuala Selangor, Tanjong Karang, and Sabak Bernam.Apart from that, the alignment also connects the railway alignment in Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) to Tanjong Sepat and Sungai Pelek, so the west coast of Selangor becomes a railway services corridor.
