Phase two of the Sungai Buloh-Kajang (SBK) MRT line will be completed in one week and begin serving areas previously underserved, according to a Bernama report. The SBK line – the first of three planned MRT lines in the Klang Valley – consists of 19 new stations, of which seven are located underground, said MRT strategic communication and stakeholder relations director Datuk Najmuddin Abdullah.
“Fourteen of the new stations are strategically located in densely populated areas which have never been served by any urban rail services,” he said. The 14 stations mentioned are Muzium Negara, Tun Razak Exchange Centre, Cochrane, Taman Pertama, Taman Midah, Taman Connaught, Suntex, Sri Raya, Bandar Tun Hussein Onn, Batu Sebelas Cheras, Bukit Dukung, Sungai Jernih, Merdeka and Taman Mutiara.
The stations are also built to integrate other rail services for better rail connectivity, including KTM Komuter, LRT and Monorail services. The pedestrian linkway between the Muzium Negara station and KL Sentral was built to integrate the service in that area, said Najmuddin, who added that connecting stations also played a crucial role.
The second phase of the MRT SBK line is scheduled for launch on July 17, thus completing the full 51 km train line stretch from Sungai Buloh to Kajang. The first phase spanned 21 km, running from Sungai Buloh to Semantan with 12 stations along the way, and became operational last December – our man Danny Tan has given it a go on its opening day.
Meanwhile, MRT’s second line, the Sungai Buloh-Serdang-Putrajaya (SSP) line is work in progress and slated for completion in 2022, while the third line is still in the drafting stages.

On time, in the budget, outstanding
On time? #Teh tarik kuih lapis besok lusa
Besok lusa, tapi siap on time. Itu projek undersea tunnel study bila mau siap?
Borneo-kl undersea.
Not if other side comes in. It be perpetually 87% still incomplete.
Beberatus juta Ringgit (ulangan : Beberapa Ratus JUTA Ringgit ya) habis only for feasible study. Belom buat apa2 lagi.. SPRM, cepat siasat!
On-time yes, because government allocate a big budget for this project without calling for open tender.
It’s also the first rail viaduct in the world that been painted, should be name in World Geniuss Record.
Mari Puji2 kerajaan^^
Open tender was called. But only a very few companies with deep wallets able to be turnkey contractors. From there they break it down to sub-cons which must be vetted by KVMRT team. Deswai can be finished on time, in budget, with minimal problems.
Bro, big or small budget has nothing to do with the ability of the builder to meet the date line. Even if you have big budget like Penang state Government has for their undersea tunnel, still even Habuk pun tarak right now. How to explain?
well done!….2 thumbs up!
we are now developed nation!!! hurray!!! thumbs us up!
Please maintain the system properly yah, don’t end up like K.L. mono rail.
KL monorail was cuz of dispute with system provider (SCOMI), Rapid din wanna continue foot the maint bill, so it left the system to go downhill until case settlement.
Penang nak buat terowong belum lukis lagi pun dah beratus juta duit rakyat habis. Sembang bukan main kencang. 2×5 saja
Selangor steady…
u know where the fund coming from?
probably poor sarawakians and sabahans who still live on trees
When federal want to develop Sarawak & Sabah, they said development must by Sarawakians & Sabahans. You federal just give us money. When federal give money but no development, they blame federal. Since when big and steady company for infra development can come and do business in the east? Even O&G business want all participant from Swkian & Sabahan. But when slow develop, blame the federal. Topkek.
Slgr mau buat hiway kat hutan tu, ape hal?
Regardless, makes travelling more convenient to Kajang and vice versa. Most importantly, easier for me to access to the famous Satay Kajang right at the Kajang station stop.
Thumbs up!!
