KUALA LUMPUR: Long-term plans are underway to upgrade KL Sentral, an integrated transport hub that has exceeded its capacity of 100,000 commuters a day.
Before the Covid-19 pandemic, the hub handled some 200,000 passengers a day, said Transport Minister Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong.
“Following the pandemic, we had footfall of about 70,000 a day. When that is over, we have to face the reality of being over the limit again.
“Since we are having more routes, such as the ETS (eventually) heading south (Gemas to Johor Baru), we will see even more passengers.
“The ministry is working on creating more tracks and services to handle more passengers.
(MRCB) is making its foray into New Zealand by teaming up Panuku Development Auckland to undertake a transport-orientated development (TOD) there with a gross development value of NZ$452mil (RM1.3bil).
In a statement issued on Tuesday, MRCB said they will develop the Aotea Central Over Station Development (OSD) in Auckland City centre.
The urban regeneration development above the city rail link s Aotea station spreads across 1.08 acres with a total gross floor area of about 45,292 square meters (487,520 square feet).
The site is formerly a car park used for Auckland Council fleet parking at the intersection of Mayoral Drive and Wellesley Street.
EVERYTHING points to the Employees Provident Fund (EPF) declaring a commendable dividend for 2020. The fund with RM950bil under its belt is expected to declare a dividend rate that is almost the same as Amanah Saham Bumiputera (ASB) or more.
Amarjit says MRCB is proud to represent the country in this platform.
MALAYSIAN Resources Corporation Bhd (MRCB) announced its participation in the United Nations Global Compact’s (UNGC) CFO Taskforce to reinforce its commitment in pursuing the Sustainability Development Goals (SDGs).
Membership of the UN Global Compact CFO Taskforce will enable MRCB to provide an Asean perspective on developing strategies to accelerate the delivery of the SDGs within the private sector.
MRCB chief corporate officer Amarjit Chhina is the only member from Malaysia and the first in Asean to be invited to join the CFO Taskforce.
Amarjit will be working with peers from multiple global companies on a two-year programme to implement the CFO Principles on Integrated SDG Investments and Finance, and to leverage their experience and learnings with others.
