The redevelopment of the Kuala Lumpur Sentral Station (KL Sentral) will begin later this year.
Ministry of Transport Anthomy Loke said the ministry will work together with Malaysian Resources Corporation Bhd (MRCB) on the project.
“The station will undergo enhancements to make it more modern, efficient, and seamlessly connected to the surrounding areas. These enhancements will involve upgrades, redesigns, repurposing, and rebuilding efforts aimed at achieving a higher level of sophistication and modernity,” Loke said.
The redevelopment project had received Cabinet approval in principle last August to overhaul the KL Sentral Station through the Public Private Partnership initiative.
Project developer MRCB will undertake the redevelopment with a budget exceeding RM1.0 billion and this redevelopment will incur no cost to the government.
“Discussions with the Public Private Partnership Unit (Ukas), which comes under the Prime Minister’s Department, are underway,” he said.
Loke detailed a comprehensive initiative to link all buildings, to improve public mobility and access.”This interconnected network would enable smooth transitions between different points within the area, ultimately making navigation more convenient and effortless for the public,” he said.
