Accepted Answer

Stakeholder Workshop for LRT Alignment Expected Within Two Weeks

A workshop involving stakeholders to finalise the Penang Mutiara Line Light Rail Transit (LRT) Project alignment is anticipated to take place within the next one to two weeks. This session will address minor amendments proposed to the original plan by MRT Corporation.
Amendments to Original Plan

Following the Cabinet of Ministers' approval of the LRT project, MRT Corporation has conducted technical work and put forth proposed amendments to the initial plan by the SRS Consortium. These amendments also pertain to the connection of the LRT to Penang Sentral. The State Development Action Council received a briefing on these developments.
Purpose of the Workshop

The state government suggested the workshop to finalise the alignment after reviewing the proposed amendments. This finalisation is a crucial step to enable other subsequent works, including land acquisition, detailed designs, and the precise location of stations.
Formation of Working Committees

To ensure the project progresses according to schedule, several working committees will be established. These committees will comprise representatives from the state government, MRT Corp, and other relevant agencies tasked with monitoring the project's advancement and examining technical aspects.
Project Oversight and Components

The federal government officially took over the Penang Mutiara Line LRT project from the state government on March 29, with MRT Corporation appointed as the developer and asset owner. The project's procurement is structured into three primary components: civil construction for Segment 1 (Pulau Silikon to Komtar), civil construction for Segment 2 (Komtar to Penang Sentral), and a turnkey contract for system and carriage works.
