It is confirm, MRT project will commence next year by Gamuda-MMC Joint Venture after the project is awarded to them. This estimated Rm36 billion project is expected to complete in year 2020 in three phases which will be integrated with existing network such as LRT and KTM. It will contains 35 stops with four interchanges linked to existing rail services, these being the KTM Komuter lines at Sg Buloh and Kajang and in KL, the Putra KJ line at Pasar Seni and Star Ampang line at Maluri.

KLIMS 2010

Last tuesday was a public holiday which I took the opportunity to visit the KL International Motor Show 2010. It was expected to be crowded on that day so I together with my friends, amy n starbucks went to PWTC early so that can avoid the jam packed area. The reason why I so eager to visit to KLIMS because it is not held every year and I like to see exotic cars. Although the entrance fees was abit expensive but I think it is worth. The previous KLIMS was back in 2006.

Overall, the show is quite huge but I am not satisfy with the number of exhibitors there as I expect more. Many brands like Ferrari, Volkswagen, Lamborghini, BMW and Mercedes are not taking part in this year. It is quite a dissappointed show overall but there is some nice displays especially the one by local brand, Proton and Perodua.
