Land acquisition for MRT3 expected to be completed in two years
The land acquisition process for the Mass Rapid Transit 3 (MRT3) Circle Line project is expected to be completed in two years, according to Mass Rapid Transit Corp Sdn Bhd (MRT Corp) chief executive officer Datuk Mohd Zarif Hashim.
There will be no impact on the #MassRapidTransit Line 3 (#MRT3) project, despite the three-month extension sought by #MRTCorp.
This is because contract awards have yet to be finalised, with the Finance Ministry (#MOF) making the decision.
At the end of last year, it was announced that the budget for #LandAcquisition had been approved.
The #land acquisition process for the MRT3 #CircleLine will be started first.
The fate of the #MassRapidTransit Line 3 (#MRT3) project remains uncertain as #MRTCorp has sought another three-month extension to finalise #tenders for the multi-billion-ringgit #rail development.
It is understood that #MRT Corp had requested that the tender validity be extended to March 2024.
This marks the fourth extension requested by MRT Corp, adding an air of suspense to the much-anticipated project.
#MRTCorp will begin its #LandAcquisition process in stages from next year for the #MassRapidTransit Line 3 (#MRT3) #CircleLine project, which will take two years to be finalised.
To minimise cost, MRT Corp will cooperate with property developers to integrate the MRT3 #station.
The process is expected to involve 1,012 lots of #land covering private land (842), government land (133) & unknown land (37).
The #alignment for MRT3 has yet to be finalised.

#Train #commuters are left frustrated by the lack of options to top up their monthly #My50 passses and had to make a beeline at the #station counters in order to do so with only #cash.
Other #netizens pointed out that it could be an isolated case as other commuters are able to #topup using #QRpay.
#MRTCorp has reached out and extended an #apology.

In support of the Ministry of Economy’s initiative, MRT Corp has now placed a number of IPR vending machines at selected MRT stations offering ready-to-eat meals from as low as RM2.
What is IPR?
People’s Income Initiative (also known as Inisiatif Pendapatan Rakyat, abbreviated IPR) is one of the Government’s efforts to alleviate hardcore poverty.
