TRANSIT wishes to welcome the new Prasarana boss, Shahril Mokhtar. Although we’re very surprised considering his fairly short stint as COO for SPAD, we wish him good luck, and trust his wisdom and experience will steer Prasarana forward towards being an efficient and customer-oriented public transport infrastructure company.
With that in mind, TRANSIT hopes the government (with full stewardship from the one and only central regulator which is SPAD) will finalise a sustainable transit financing framework in view of tremendous infrastructural capex burden on Prasarana (before embarking any new mega rail projects like MRT and LRT extension), and that RapidKL can one day become an independent authority in charge of managing transit operations.
