KL-Ipoh Commuter Train Service Delayed, To Begin Only In 2010

Sigh,

Another failure project.

The project started in 2001 which cost RM4.3 billion just to built the double rail track from Rawang-Ipoh.

It was reported that 98% of the project has been completed and contractors are now in the final phase of testing the electricity cables.

The delay is because of the approval to buy new trains was only given recently, it would take at least another two years for the trains to arrive. It is expected that the six new electric trains cost RM150 million, with each train having six coaches.

WTF, 7 years to built the rail track..
At 98% project completion only approve the purchase of new trains.
Where did the project management went too all these years?
They can order the train 2 years earlier.

They all only know to take money and go "Yum Cha" and don't do their work...
By the time the trains arrive...the tracks will be all old and need to be repair...with more money use...
Maybe after the trains arrive only repair...then have to delay again...haiz...
We only can "WAIT & WAIT & WAIT"...and SEE the "LOUSY" MANAGEMENT of the project...

SO SO malu for the country for getting behind.. not to mentioned the 2 years delay in procuring the train set, the train set is already outdated !! it max operating speed is only 140km/hr, far behind many coutries, eg. China had now 250km/hr and Taiwan/Korea now have 300km/hr few year back !! of course, high speed can now travel over 450km/hour...
