THE three-month public display period for the proposed Kelana Jaya and Ampang LRT lines is coming to an end, and Syarikat Prasarana Negara Berhad (Prasarana) wants the public to come forward with their views.
Its group communications general manager, Ebi Azly Abdullah, said the public response had been positive so far, but added that whatever feedback must be official.
“We value their constructive feedback, good or bad. But, it must be made through the proper channels,’’ he said, adding that they do not accept comments which do not use the official form given.
Big matter: Masayu Salleh (right) and Nurulhuda Mohamed writing down their views in the log book at the display counter in DBKL. “Most of the feedback we received are from Selangor, with the bulk of queries concerning the station’s locations. Most want to know why the lines are not by-passing areas like Cheras, Shah Alam and Klang,’’ he said.
The plans are being displayed at Department of Railways (DOR), Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL), Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ), Subang Jaya Council (MBSJ) and Shah Alam City Council (MBSA).
Ebi said at each location, maps of the alignment for both lines as well as features for the LRT system, including facilities for the disabled were displayed.
“The plan and profile of the alignment also shows the exact locations of the stations, the site plans, land acquisition details which shows the list of landowners, the plan of the station, details of the road alignment as well as a visitors’ log book for the public to write in their comments,’’ he said.
A website dedicated to the LRT extension line which can be linked from the DOR website, has also been set up for feedback. The website contains information on the alignment and features of the LRT system. Brochures are also being distributed to the public.
“The public can put in their feedback via the website and there is no limitation as to how much they want to say,’’ he said, adding that once the deadline is up, all feedback and suggestions will be compiled and submitted for consideration.
According to Ebi, Prasarana has not much say during the public display period as they are guided by the DOR.
“It is only a proposal, so put in your suggestions and after that a task force and a communication team will be set up to deal with all public feedback and grouses one by one,’’ he said.
