It’s faster for me when I drive to work, nowadays.
A good friend who’s the co-founder of a very famous startup here in Malaysia was asking his friends if they feel that the jams within the Klang Valley has become better ever since the launch of the MRT Sungai Buloh – Kajang. Very few said it’s the same while most were sharing that they felt…

A new revolution perhaps. Malaysians Ride This! (MRT)
It’s always packed. Sometimes like a ‘sardine in a can’ when it’s right after office hours. This was what happened to me every time I take the MRT in Singapore. I think it is already a lifestyle in Singapore. In fact most Singaporeans I know are slimmer than Malaysians I know, especially those who drive…

Branding is the edge. Actions follow recognition.
I have many favourite brands. Of course not just for shoes, clothing and smartphones but it includes supermarket brands, electronic goods and even properties. Ever wondered why certain developers are able to command a premium over others? Branding lah. Of course, they could also be using better materials etc but when the price is just…

Take MRT yeah. Save more than driving and parking.
MRT will change the area dynamics, that’s for sure. Here’s an earlier article on why it would. MRT stations will change the area dynamics It will also cause property prices along the line, nearby the stations and newer launches to be more expensive. This is based on what has happened in the countries which has MRT…

Hong Kong MTR, a potential bidding partner for HSR.
I was in Hong Kong a few weeks ago and would most probably visit it again in a few weeks’ time. Their Mass Transit Railway (MTR) is good. MTR would be known as MRT here in Malaysia. We are about to have a fully operational MRT Line 1 by July 2017. MTR Hong Kong is…

More than three countries are vying to be the technology provider for the High Speed Rail (HSR) KL – SG. Latest one indicating their interest was South Korea. I have no access to the decision makers but I am pro-Asian companies. 🙂 As for which country, I think………. ‘Let the best bid wins.’ Yes, the…

Yes, I think the MRT is good and many people will benefit
Have you taken the MRT yet? I know it’s not yet fully connected but it’s definitely a good experience. I recently shared with a few friends about my MRT experience. One ‘awesome’ friend said that it’s only okay now because there are very few passengers. When it’s really opened, it will no longer be smooth…

HSR KL – SG: Taking steps in the right direction
Okay, when it comes to implementation, not many country in this world could beat Singapore. Whatever the government aspires to achieve, it would most probably be able to achieve it. Just look at their cooling measures. The government is still holding it tightly because they want property prices to be under their control. So, what…

Rapid Transit System – to be signed end of 2017?
Rail Transit System (RTS) building momentum? I seriously do not think High Speed Rail (HSR) is that catalyst to get more people moving between Iskandar and Singapore. It will get KL – SG much better connected than today but effects to Iskandar will likely be incremental. It will help many other smaller towns that’s connected…
