KUALA LUMPUR: One of the two Automated People Mover (APM) or aerotrain services at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) is expected to start operating next year.
Transport Minister Anthony Loke said his ministry has instructed Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd to ensure that works to upgrade the system are completed on schedule or earlier.
"We know this issue gives a bad image to the country because it is the gateway to the country and I have put pressure on MAHB so that it is implemented according to schedule,” he said during an oral question and answer session at the Dewan Rakyat on Wednesday . Loke said the aerotrain project is not under the responsibility of the Transport Ministry but funded by MAHB, however, the weaknesses that occur need to be rectified immediately to avoid a negative impact on public transport services at the country's main entry point.
"For the Ampang LRT Line, overhaul work is being carried out on the train component system involving all 50 trains since October 2022 and is expected to be completed in December 2027, while on the Kelana Jaya Line, the purchase of 19 new sets of 4-car trains will be received in stages from August this year.
