MRT project at Jalan Sultan

“If you don’t want the MRT to pass through certain areas, we discuss, we can tweak the alignment in the area.” MRT project alignment can be tweaked, says chamber. Furthermore “The understanding reached in the POA is that there will be no acquisition of surface land. However, the process of the land acquisition is proceeding,” it said.

It was reported that MRT Corp would not acquire or demolish the shoplots in Jalan Sultan.
In its earlier statements, MRT Corp requested for the residents to be relocated for a maximum of six months as part of the agreement.

Associated Chinese Chambers of Commerce and Industry of Malaysia (ACCCIM) said MRT Corp should review and tweak the MRT alignment to avoid destroying the businesses operating in Jalan Sultan and Jalan Bukit Bintang, which are deemed cultural, heritage, entertainment and tourism hubs.
